“They came out the same day, found the problem straight away and had it fixed before the rain came back. Honest price and very tidy. Highly recommended.”

New Roofs — Maghull, L31
New Roofs in Maghull — Done Properly on Modern Housing
Maghull is largely a post-war residential town and its housing stock reflects that. The L31 postcode is dominated by detached and semi-detached houses built from the 1960s through to the present day, with concrete interlocking tiles as the predominant roofing material across the majority of the estate housing. These roofs have served their properties well, but many are now reaching an age where a new roof — a full re-roof or roof replacement — is the more economical option compared to ongoing repairs.
A concrete tile re-roof on a Maghull property sounds straightforward, but the quality of the installation makes an enormous difference to how long the result lasts and how it performs. The most common problems we inherit on re-roof jobs in Maghull are poor-quality previous re-roofs: incorrect underlay that was not breathable and has caused condensation damage in the roof space; ridge and hip tiles that were poorly bedded and have failed within a few years of the previous job; and inadequate ventilation provision that has allowed moisture to build up in the timbers. We specify and install correctly the first time.
Every new roof in Maghull begins with a full inspection of the existing roof structure. We check the timbers, the existing battens, the ventilation provision and the condition of the fascias and soffits. On an estate property built in the 1970s or 80s, this inspection regularly reveals issues that need addressing as part of the installation — damaged timber, corroded fixings or inadequate ventilation that is causing condensation. We address these properly rather than covering them over.
We replace fascias, soffits and guttering as part of a new roof installation in Maghull where these have deteriorated. A new roof fitted over rotted fascias is a job that will need revisiting prematurely, and we do not work that way.

We understand the specific materials, failure patterns and installation requirements of Maghull’s post-war housing stock.
Correctly specified installations
Breathable underlay, adequate ventilation, properly bedded ridges — the details that separate a roof that lasts from one that does not.
Full structural check before quoting
We inspect what is underneath before we recommend what goes on top. Previous poor installations are common in Maghull and we find them before the job starts.
10-year written guarantee
Every new roof is backed by our written guarantee. We install to a standard we are prepared to stand behind for ten years.
Materials & Building Control
Slate Quality & Independent Sign-Off
Not all slate is equal — Welsh and Cumbrian slate can last 80-100+ years, while lower-grade imports vary hugely in quality and can delaminate or crack early. We specify the thickness, grading and provenance of any slate we quote, not just "slate" on a price list. On Building Control: replacing 50% or more of a roof covering must be notified by law. Many roofers self-certify this themselves; we arrange independent Building Control sign-off as standard — a genuinely separate inspection, not the same company marking its own work. See our complete guide to new roofs and re-roofing for the full detail.
Common questions
New Roofs — What People Ask
How do I know if my Maghull house needs a new roof or just repairs?
When the cost and disruption of ongoing repairs exceeds what a new roof would cost over the same period, or when the roof structure itself is compromised, a new roof is the right decision. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in after a full inspection.
What tile do you use on Maghull re-roofs?
We advise on the tile profile and colour that is most appropriate for your specific property after inspection. Concrete interlocking tiles are the most common choice in Maghull’s housing stock and we work with a range of profiles to match or complement the existing character of the property.
How long does a new roof take on a Maghull semi-detached?
Typically three to four days for a standard semi, depending on the roof size and any structural issues found during the strip. We give you a realistic timescale before we start.
Do you include fascias and soffits?
We inspect the existing fascias and soffits as part of our survey. Where they need replacing we include this in the quote. We will not install a new roof over deteriorated fascias.
Do you use independent Building Control sign-off?
Yes, as standard on qualifying work. Many roofers self-certify under the NFRC CompetentRoofer scheme, which is legal and common. We arrange independent Building Control sign-off instead — a genuinely separate inspection, not the same company marking its own work — and the certificate matters when you come to sell.
