Re-roofs &Recoveries.
When the structure is sound but the covering has reached the end of its life, a recovery keeps the existing rafters and gives you a brand-new weathered envelope. Faster, cheaper, fully guaranteed.

— Overview
What this service actually involves.
We strip the existing tiles or slates, re-check every rafter for rot or sag, lay a breathable membrane, re-batten to the correct gauge, then re-lay using reclaimed sound tiles topped up with new matched stock. Lead flashings are renewed, ridges dry-fixed, and the whole envelope brought back up to BS 5534 — for typically 25–35% less than a full re-roof.
— Signs you need this
5 things we look for first.
Underlay is brittle, shredded or completely gone
Tiles individually sound but the roof leaks in driven rain
Battens rotting and tiles dropping off in spring storms
Roof never installed with breathable membrane
Loft warm and humid — no ventilation under the existing felt

— How we work
Step by step, fully transparent.
Tile audit
Survey to grade the existing covering — what % is salvageable, what needs replacing. Honest report, fixed price.
Careful strip
Tiles lifted by hand, sorted on the scaffold, cleaned and re-stacked. Damaged tiles to the skip.
Underlay & batten
Breathable membrane laid, counter-battens for airflow, new battens at correct gauge.
Re-lay & finish
Salvaged tiles re-laid bottom-up with matched top-ups, lead renewed, ridges dry-fixed.

— Frequently asked
4 answers before you book.
How is this different from a full re-roof?
A re-roof replaces the entire covering with new. A recovery salvages the sound existing tiles and tops up. You get the same membrane, battens and leadwork — but pay 25–35% less. Only viable when the existing covering is still in good shape.
What if more tiles are damaged than you estimated?
We tile-count on the original survey from photographs and a roof-walk. If we find more damage on strip, we ring you with a fixed price for the extra before continuing. No surprises on the invoice.
Will the colour match?
Reclaimed tiles weather to match within 12–18 months. New top-up tiles are colour-matched at the merchant and blended across the roof — never grouped in one patch.
What guarantee comes with reclaimed tiles?
The 15-year workmanship guarantee covers the install — fixings, lap, leadwork. We can't guarantee individual reclaimed tiles against age failure, but we replace any that fail in year one for free.
