New Roofs

A new roof is a structural job, not a cosmetic one. Mastershield installs complete new roofs for extensions, new builds and full replacements, built properly from the deck up, not just felt and tiles laid over old problems.

Built from the deck up

A new roof is only as good as what’s underneath the covering. Before a single tile goes on, we check the timbers, the ventilation and the underlay specification are right for the building, not just what’s quickest to install.

Whether it’s a new extension roof, a garage conversion or a full replacement on an older property, we scope the job properly first: pitch, materials, drainage and how the new roof ties into the existing structure.

Common questions

How long does a new roof take to install?

It depends on the size and pitch, but most domestic new roofs take between a few days and two weeks from strip out to finished ridge.

Can you match an existing roof on an extension?

Yes, we can match tile type, colour and profile so a new extension roof ties in with the existing roofline rather than standing out.

Do you handle the guttering and flashing as part of the job?

Yes, guttering, fascias and leadwork are scoped in as part of a new roof install, not left as a separate job afterwards.
