How long does it take to replace a bungalow roof? Here is one we completed in five days including removal of scaffolding and the skip. And it really was a complete new roof. We would say that is the average duration of replacing a bungalow roof – weather permitting. Everything Replaced In This Roof We stripped everything off this roof so we could install a new one. That included the old tiles which were broken and leaking everywhere. We removed…
When a valley roof leaks do you replace or repair? Valley roofs are notorious for letting in water and unsurprisingly.

Upgrade your Roofline with New Soffits, Fascias and Verge Tiles An upgrade to your roofline is a much cheaper option than a whole new roof. It will also help your existing roof last much longer.

It was time for a reroof in Wrexham at this property. There was much in need of replacement – soffits, fascias ridge tiles, battons, felt and the lead around the chimney was in poor shape too. But the tiles were in good condition. A few chips on the corners don’t stop the roof being watertight as long as they are in the right place. And no-one wants to throw away a resource which is still useful. What is a reroof?…
