what we do
New Roof Installation for Period and Traditional Properties
Many properties across Giffnock were built with roofing systems designed around specific materials, pitches, and traditional construction methods. A successful new roof installation is not simply about replacing old coverings — it requires a clear understanding of the existing structure and the way the roof was originally designed. Traditional homes often rely on details such as slate selection, roof pitch, timber arrangements, ventilation, and chimney connections.
Whether replacing an ageing slate roof, correcting previous repairs, or dealing with storm damage, we carefully assess the roof before recommending the right solution. This helps identify hidden structural issues, select suitable materials, and ensure the new roof complements the property’s original character. Every installation is planned to deliver reliable weather protection, improved performance, and a finish that respects the appearance of homes across Giffnock.
What’s Involved in a New Roof Installation
how we work
Our New Roof Installation Process
From initial inspection and preparation through to final checks, we complete every stage carefully to ensure a durable, weather-resistant roof that suits the property’s structure and character.
1.
Roof Inspection
We assess the existing roof structure, materials, previous repairs, and overall condition before recommending the most suitable replacement approach.
2.
Planning & Specification
We select appropriate materials, access requirements, and installation methods based on the property type, roof design, and long-term performance needs.
3.
Preparation & Strip-Out
Existing roof coverings are carefully removed, with the underlying timbers, structure, and supporting elements inspected before work progresses.
4.
Structural Repairs & Installation
Any necessary timber repairs or improvements are completed before installing the new roofing system with correct membranes, battens, coverings, and weatherproofing details.
5.
Finishing Details & Clean-Up
Chimneys, flashing, ridges, valleys, gutters, and roofline details are completed, followed by removal of waste materials and a thorough site clean.
6.
Final Inspection & Handover
We carry out final checks to ensure every part of the roof has been completed correctly before removing access equipment and handing the finished roof back to the property owner.
Materials Used for New Roof Installations
New roof installations are specified around the property, not around whatever’s quickest to source. On period and traditional properties, that generally means:
Where an existing roof still has usable original slate, we’ll discuss reclaiming and reusing it on show elevations, with newer materials used less visibly.
