The Hayes new roof installation menu
In general, Hayes has a mix of 1930s semis, inter-war terraces and post-war estate housing, most with pitched tile or slate roofs, plus flat-roofed rear extensions and garages. We install and re-roof both.
Full re-roof (strip and re-cover)
In short, we strip the existing tiles or slates back to the timber, replace damaged battens and felt (or breathable membrane), then re-cover with new tiles matching or upgrading the original. As a result, the right option once a roof is past patch-repair age, typically 40-60 years on a standard concrete tile roof.
Partial re-roof
Alternatively, re-covering one slope or section — common where only the front or rear elevation is failing, or after localised storm damage, while the rest of the roof structure is sound.
Flat roof replacement
Similarly, for garages, porches and rear extensions — usually felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber. For this reason, we assess which system suits the deck and drainage falls before quoting.

Survey and quote for new roof installation in Hayes
- Free survey — we inspect the roof from ground level, loft space and (where needed) close up, checking timber condition, tile type and any damp signs.
- Written quote — a fixed, itemised price, not a rough estimate, covering materials and labour.
- Scaffold and strip-out — scaffolding erected, old covering stripped and disposed of.
- Re-cover — new membrane, battens, tiles or slates and flashing installed.
- Final check and guarantee — completed roof inspected and a written workmanship guarantee provided.
For example, re-covering more than a quarter of a roof normally has to meet current Building Regulations. Therefore, we include sign-off in the quote, and the government’s building regulations approval guide explains how the process works. Finally, we leave the site clear and walk you round the finished roof. Meanwhile, any timber repairs we find are photographed and priced before we carry them out.
Signs you need a new roof, not another repair
- Multiple cracked, slipped or missing tiles across different parts of the roof, not just one spot
- Daylight visible through the roof felt from inside the loft
- Sagging roofline when viewed from the street
- Recurring leaks in different places after previous repairs
- Roof timbers showing rot or damp staining when inspected from the loft
However, if only one or two of these apply, a repair is often the more sensible option — we’ll tell you honestly on survey if a full replacement isn’t necessary yet.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a new roof take to install in Hayes?
For example, a full re-roof on a typical Hayes semi or terrace usually takes 5-8 working days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs, or those needing significant timber replacement, can take longer.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Usually not for a like-for-like re-roof. Planning permission can apply if you’re changing the roof height, shape, or materials significantly, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area.
Can you match my existing roof tiles?
In most cases yes — we source matching or close-match tiles for the common concrete, clay and slate types found across Hayes. Where an exact match isn’t available, we’ll show you the closest options before ordering.
Do you offer a guarantee on new roof installations?
Yes, every full re-roof comes with a written workmanship guarantee, details of which are confirmed in your quote.
