New Roofing Installation in Littlehampton, Shoreham and all Locations in the Worthing Area
Although there are many considerations with a new roof installation, one of the biggest is the additional resale value it will add to a home should you ever decide to sell in the future. A new roof will make a property look more attractive and shield it from the UK’s changing weather conditions. While having a new roof installed will require a significant amount of investment, the protection it affords your property, and your assets, is what matters most.
If you plan to live in the same home in Worthing, Littlehampton, Shoreham or West Sussex over many years, however, a new roof installation is a practical choice and will protect the property against leaks and water damage.
A new roof offers a range of important benefits to include:
- Minimal maintenance and upkeep over a period of many years
- Additional resale value should you ever sell your home
- Improved kerb appeal to attract the interest of potential buyers
- Better thermal insulation to keep energy costs under control
- Less likelihood of needing roof repairs in the immediate future
- Reducing the chances of injury caused by falling slates and tiles
SD Building & Roofing can install pitched and flat roofing structures. We are the versatile local roofing company with a full range of skillsets.
The Installation Process
Prior to starting a new roof installation, we visit your property to assess current condition, the type of roof you have, and which materials we will need to use to perform a full replacement. SD Building & Roofing will consult with you to determine your budget and then produces a written quotation with labour and material costings included. We will order the materials for delivery to your property and, if required, will order in a skip to help control generated waste.
Our roofing company organises scaffolding where it is required to ensure a safe working platform for our contractors and any other tradespeople used.
When starting a new roof installation project in Worthing or the surrounding Littlehampton and Shoreham areas, we begin by stripping slates and tiles to expose the timber and laths on pitched roofs, or we uplift the old felt or ply surfaces from flat roofing. All materials are lowered to the ground safely for disposal and we then check the condition of the trusses and tile laths.
If required, we replace rotted timber and split roof joists.
After covering the timber with a breathable membrane which allows water from any future damage to run directly into the guttering, we fix new battens into place with galvanised nails to create rows for the slates or tiles. On flat roofing structures, we might replace the OSB deck if it has started to rot.
To complete new roof installations, we fix the slates or tiles to the battens, or we lay torch-on felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass onto flat roofs. We finish the job by bedding the hip and ridge tiles with fresh mortar. SD Building & Roofing will also address any repairs needed to the roofline and leadwork.
On flat roofing, all edges and trims are costed into our quotation.
With SD Building & Roofing, your new roof installation is in the safest hands. We offer a two-year workmanship guarantee and honour material warranties. To ensure customers always enjoy the experience of using our roofing company, we work cleanly, tidily and attentively, clearing up after ourselves in stages and removing waste from site daily unless we have a skip in place.
All recyclable waste is taken to a licensed transfer station for processing.
