Ultimate Home Solutions supplies and fits new roofs across Inverness, and the survey is carried out at your own address. Slate sits over the stone villas of the Crown, Ballifeary and the Haugh and the older streets at Merkinch and Clachnaharry, while Hilton, Dalneigh, Drakies and Raigmore are largely tiled and the newer houses at Slackbuie, Inshes, Milton of Leys, Smithton and Culloden are tiled throughout. Wind funnels up the Great Glen and comes in off the Moray Firth, so what sits under the covering matters as much as the covering itself, and every re-roof gets breathable membrane, treated battens and storm-grade fixings.

What people across IV1, IV2 and IV3 want settled first: cost, days on site, slate on a stone villa, conservation areas, chimney leaks, flat roofs, insulation and monthly payments.
Ring us and a person who can tell a slate from a pantile will talk it through, any day of the week. Most messages are answered inside the hour.
Call 0800 029 3875Yes, and there is no fee for it. A surveyor comes to your own address anywhere in IV1 to IV3, from Clachnaharry and Kinmylies to Holm, Inshes and Culloden, with no travel charge and no call-out fee. The quote that follows costs nothing and carries no obligation.
Full re-roofs mostly sit between £7,500 and £18,000 fitted, with the scaffolding, the strip, membrane, battens, the new covering, ridge work and certification all inside the figure. Concrete tile runs £7,500 to £14,000, clay pantile £10,000 to £20,000 and natural slate £12,000 to £25,000 and upwards. Flat roofs run from £3,000 to £8,000. Your own number comes after the free survey.
A new roof takes up to 14 working days, weather permitting, and most jobs are finished inside that. Scaffolding goes up first, the old covering comes off in sections and the roof is sealed at the end of every day, so the house stays dry while the work is in progress.
Usually, yes. Natural slate is what those roofs were built with and it is what looks right beside the neighbours, particularly on a terrace or a semi where half the roof belongs to someone else. Where budget rules it out, the surveyor will show you a tile profile that sits closest to slate and be honest about the difference.
It can. Where a property sits in one of the city's conservation areas, or is listed, the covering usually has to match what is there now, which in practice means natural slate. We check the position with The Highland Council before quoting so there are no awkward surprises once the scaffold is up.
It is. Lead flashings crack and lift over time and chimney heads go porous after decades of driven rain, and that is a very common source of water tracking into an upstairs room. The chimney head can be repointed and reflashed, or taken down below the roofline and capped where the flue is no longer used. Either way it is set out in the quote rather than added later.
The survey answers that, and it is answered honestly. Where a handful of slipped slates and a length of flashing will see the roof through, that is what you will be quoted for. A full re-roof is recommended when the covering has reached the end, when slippage is widespread or when the battens and sarking underneath have gone.
It is the cheapest moment you will get. With the covering off, ventilation at the eaves and the ridge can be put right at the same time, which is what stops condensation forming in the loft once insulation is topped up. The surveyor will tell you what the loft actually needs rather than adding it as a matter of course.
