WJS Improvements Ltd provides new roof installations in Ely for homeowners and property owners who need a dependable replacement for an ageing, damaged or increasingly unreliable roof.
Replacing a roof is a major project, so we begin by looking at the existing covering and the overall condition of the roof. The objective is to determine whether complete replacement is justified or whether a more focused roof repair could provide a suitable solution.
A leaking roof does not automatically mean the entire covering needs to be removed. Individual tiles, flashing and other localised defects can often be repaired. Replacement becomes more appropriate when deterioration affects a substantial part of the roof or repeated repairs are no longer providing a dependable solution.
You may need to consider a new roof if:
If sudden damage is currently allowing water into your property, our emergency roof repair service in Ely may be more appropriate as the first step.
Selecting the right roof covering involves more than choosing a colour or finish. Roof pitch, structural requirements, the character of the property and the existing materials all need to be considered.
Clay and Concrete Roof Tiles
Tiled roofs are widely used on residential properties and are available in a broad range of profiles and finishes. The appropriate tile can provide dependable protection while complementing the appearance of the building.
Slate Roofing
Slate offers a distinctive appearance suited to many traditional properties. Depending on the building and project requirements, natural or alternative slate products may be considered.
Flat Roofing Systems
Garages, extensions and other low-pitched areas often require a specialist flat-roof solution rather than tiles or slate. We provide dedicated flat roofing services and can advise on the most suitable approach for the structure.
A complete roof relies on several components working together. The visible tiles or slate form only the outer covering, while membranes, battens, ventilation, flashing and drainage details all contribute to keeping the building protected.
During a roof replacement, removing the existing covering provides an opportunity to inspect areas that are normally hidden. Any issues identified beneath the old roof can then be addressed before the new system is completed.
Where necessary, we can also consider associated roofline elements such as fascias, soffits and guttering as part of the wider project.
Initial Assessment
We inspect the roof, discuss your requirements and look at the materials and construction of the existing property.
Roofing Specification
Suitable materials and details are selected according to the roof design, property style and requirements of the installation.
Removal and Preparation
The existing covering is removed where required, allowing the underlying roof to be examined and prepared for the new system.
New Roof Installation
The membrane, battens, roof covering and associated details are installed using appropriate roofing methods and materials.
Completion
The finished installation is inspected and the working area is cleared once the roofing work has been completed.
Ely contains properties from many different periods, so replacing a roof should take account of the character and construction of the individual building rather than using the same specification everywhere.
Parts of Ely are also within a conservation area, and some properties are covered by additional planning controls. For buildings affected by these restrictions, changes to roof form or other significant alterations may need further consideration before work begins.
This makes it particularly important to choose roofing materials and details that are appropriate for the property. Where planning restrictions may apply, homeowners should check the requirements relevant to their address before proceeding with substantial alterations.
Clear Advice Before Replacement
We assess the condition of the roof and explain whether replacement or repair appears to be the more appropriate option.
Complete Roofing Approach
Our work considers the roof covering together with the underlying components and important weatherproofing details.
Suitable Roofing Materials
We select materials with the property and roof design in mind rather than treating every replacement as the same project.
