New Roofs — Ormskirk, L39
New Roofs in Ormskirk — The Right Approach for Every Property Type
Ormskirk’s L39 postcode encompasses one of the most varied property landscapes we work across. The market town itself has a mix of period properties and modern residential development, while the surrounding villages and rural areas include farmhouses, cottages and buildings of genuine age and character. A new roof on a modern Ormskirk estate house is a straightforward process of strip, inspect and re-tile. A new roof on an eighteenth-century farmhouse in the surrounding countryside is a different proposition entirely, requiring materials, skills and care that a run-of-the-mill roofing contractor may not be equipped to provide.
We carry a wide range of roofing materials specifically because the Ormskirk area requires it. Natural Welsh slate, clay plain tiles, concrete interlocking tiles in a range of profiles, and flat roof systems including GRP and EPDM for outbuildings and extensions — we work across all of them and advise honestly on what is appropriate for each specific property. On a period property in the L39 area, the choice of roofing material has a meaningful impact on the character and value of the building, and we take that seriously.
Every new roof in Ormskirk starts with a thorough survey. We inspect the existing roof structure including timbers, wall plates, battens and ventilation before making any recommendations. Older properties in the Ormskirk area regularly present structural findings that need addressing as part of the roof installation — finding these before the job begins rather than during it avoids disruption, delays and additional costs.
We have worked in Ormskirk and the surrounding L39 area for over thirty years. That familiarity with the local housing stock means we know what to expect and how to handle it.

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
Do you install new roofs on older and period properties in Ormskirk?
Yes. We have the skills, experience and materials to work on period farmhouses, cottages and older buildings as well as modern housing. We take the character and requirements of the building seriously when specifying materials and installation methods.
What roofing materials do you install in the Ormskirk area?
Natural Welsh slate, clay plain tiles, concrete interlocking tiles in a range of profiles, and flat roof systems including GRP fiberglass and EPDM rubber. We advise on the right material for each specific property after inspection.
How long does a new roof take on an Ormskirk property?
For a standard domestic property, typically three to five days. Period properties or those with structural issues may take longer. We give a realistic timescale before work begins.
Do you work in the villages surrounding Ormskirk?
Yes. We cover the full L39 postcode including surrounding villages and rural properties. Call 07596 884288 to confirm coverage for your location.
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.
