Overview

Professional new roofs in Reading

Looking for a new roof in Reading usually means a roof that has had its day. Homestyle Roofing & Building replaces tired roofs across Reading, stripping the old covering, repairing the timbers underneath and building the new roof up with fresh membrane, battens, coverings and leadwork.

Reading's Victorian terraces, interwar semis and newer estates each call for a different approach, so the first job is a survey. We talk through your options, match the covering to your home and give you a detailed written quote.

What's included in a new roof

  • Full strip and safe removal

    Off comes the old covering, carefully, and away it goes, leaving a clean start.

  • Timber inspection and repair

    Rafters and battens get a proper look, with any rotten or damaged timber replaced.

  • New breathable membrane and battens

    The base of the new roof is a modern underlay and treated battens.

  • New coverings and leadwork

    Tile or slate of your choice, plus fresh flashing at the chimneys and valleys.

Choosing between tile and slate

The choice for many homes is between tile and slate. We help you weigh up looks, lifespan and budget, and we check your roof can take the covering you like.

Choose tiles for

  • A wide range of styles and colours
  • Clay for character, concrete for value
  • Interlocking tiles on larger or modern roofs

Choose slate for

  • A crisp finish and a long service life
  • Natural slate on period homes
  • Fibre-cement slate where weight and budget matter

Consider dry-fix ridges for

  • Ridges and verges that stay secure in wind
  • Less maintenance than mortar bedding
  • Better ventilation across the roof space

How we decide

  1. 1

    Pitch

    Slate needs an adequate pitch, which we check at the survey.

  2. 2

    Weight

    Heavier coverings may need the structure looked at first.

  3. 3

    Look and budget

    The covering should suit the house and your budget.

Every option comes with a clear written price, so you can compare before anything starts.

Roof replacement in Reading

Searching for roof replacement in Reading often starts with a roof that keeps needing repairs. When repairs stop being good value, a new roof is the sensible step, and we will tell you honestly whether you have reached that point.

If you have, we strip the old covering, repair the timbers and fit a new membrane, battens and covering, finishing with fresh leadwork to chimneys, valleys and abutments.

  • Tiled and slate coverings

How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Reading?

We price a new roof after surveying it. You then get a detailed written quote that names the covering and the work involved. For Reading homes, the main things that shape the price are:

  • the size and pitch of your roof
  • the tile or slate you choose
  • the timber repairs the strip-off reveals
  • scaffolding and access
  • chimney and valley leadwork

We do not charge for quotes, and there is no obligation.

How It Works

How your new roof project runs

A Reading re-roof runs in four stages.

  1. 1

    Survey and options

    We look over the roof, talk through coverings and put a detailed quote in writing.

  2. 2

    Access and protection

    Scaffold and protection are set up before the strip-off starts.

  3. 3

    Strip and rebuild

    The roof is stripped, timbers are repaired and the new roof is built up in full.

  4. 4

    Finish and clean up

    The detailing is completed, the site is cleared and we walk you round the finished roof.

FAQs

New Roofs FAQs

How long will a new roof take?

It depends on the roof. A typical house re-roof runs from several days to a couple of weeks, and your quote includes a realistic timescale.

Will you tell me if I need a replacement or a repair?

Yes. We recommend a repair when it is the right answer, and replacement only when a roof is beyond economic repair.

Do you fit both tiles and slate?

Yes. We fit clay and concrete tiles and natural and fibre-cement slate, and advise on what suits your roof.

Is a quote free?

Yes. New roof quotes in Reading are free and in writing, with no obligation.
