Re-roofing
Full roof renewal when repairs are no longer the right long-term option.
Re-roofing.
A re-roof removes the existing covering so the roof build-up, battens, underlay, ventilation and junctions can be renewed as one coordinated system. JDL will first assess whether targeted repair or complete renewal is appropriate.
- Existing roof stripped safely
- Roof structure checked
- New weatherproofing system

Does a re-roof replace more than the tiles or slates?
A re-roof removes the existing covering so the battens, underlay, ventilation and roof junctions can be considered together. JDL checks the roof structure and confirms the renewal scope in writing.
Will JDL assess whether a repair is enough?
Yes. JDL first assesses whether a targeted repair or complete renewal is appropriate. Full re-roofing is considered when repairs are no longer the right long-term option.
Can photographs help with the first assessment?
Yes. Ground-level or safely taken photographs can provide useful context. A final specification may still require an on-site roof survey.
How soon will I receive my roofing quote?
