What to consider

New roof installation brings together the supporting structure, underlay, coverings, ventilation and drainage. Whether the work concerns an extension or a new roof area, the specification needs to suit the building rather than simply the appearance of the tiles.

01

Choosing a suitable system

Pitch, exposure, roof dimensions and junction details influence the choice of covering. Tile, slate and flat-roof systems have different installation requirements and should be specified for their intended use.

02

Details that protect the building

Eaves, ridges, flashing and penetrations need to work as a connected weathering system. Ventilation and insulation should be considered alongside the roof covering, not as an afterthought.

03

Planning the quotation

Share drawings where available, the site location and the stage of the project. Structural design and any applicable approvals should be established before installation requirements are finalised.
