New Roofs in Thornton — Survey, Specify, Install
A new roof — sometimes called a full re-roof or roof replacement — is not a decision that should be made lightly or in a hurry, and it should never be based on a quote given without a proper inspection. In Thornton, where the housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian period properties to 1930s semis and modern builds, the right roofing material for one property is not necessarily right for another. The first thing we do is carry out a thorough survey — of the existing roof covering, the battens, the underlay, the timbers, the fascias and soffits, and the guttering — to understand the full picture before we make any recommendations.
The majority of new roofs we install in Thornton use concrete or clay tiles, slate, or a combination depending on the property. Many period properties in Thornton and the surrounding L37 area were originally slated, and where a customer wants to restore the original material, we source and install natural Welsh slate to match. For properties where appearance is important but the budget favours concrete tile, we advise on the tile profiles and colours that best suit the property and the surrounding area.
A recently completed new roof in Thornton, slate-effect tiles.
Every new roof we install includes a full strip of the existing covering, inspection and replacement of any damaged battens and underlay, correct installation of breathable membrane, and precise fitting of all ridge, hip and verge details. The quality of these finishing details is where a well-installed roof separates itself from a rushed one. We take the time to get them right because we know we stand behind the work with our written guarantee.
Where appropriate we fit a uPVC dry verge system rather than traditional mortar-bedded verge tiles — a mechanically fixed, weatherproof detail along the gable edge that doesn't rely on mortar staying sound for decades.
We also replace fascias, soffits and guttering as part of a new roof installation where needed, ensuring the whole roofline is finished to the same standard as the new covering above it. Thornton properties that receive this complete treatment look noticeably better and need attention far less frequently.

Common questions
New Roofs — What People Ask
How do I know when I need a new roof rather than repairs?
When the cost of ongoing repairs approaches or exceeds the cost of a new roof over a realistic timeframe, or when the roof structure itself is compromised. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in after a full inspection.
What roofing materials do you install in Thornton?
Concrete interlocking tiles, clay tiles, natural Welsh slate, and flat roof systems including GRP and EPDM. We advise on the best material for the specific property after inspection.
How long does a new roof take?
A typical semi-detached property takes two to four days depending on the roof size and complexity, and weather. We will give you a realistic timescale before work begins.
Do you include fascias and soffits in a new roof installation?
We inspect the existing fascias and soffits as part of our survey. Where they need replacing we include this in the quote so the whole roofline is finished properly. We will not fit a new roof over rotted fascias.
