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.

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
Pitch
Slate needs an adequate pitch, which we check at the survey.
- 2
Weight
Heavier coverings may need the structure looked at first.
- 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.
