(Video) Replacement Information
Whether you want to give your Devon home a makeover or want to refurbish an old house, there are numerous roof replacement options. Roofing comes in a wide range of materials, colours and styles to suit the design and style of your home. Whether you have a modern abode in need of a chic upgrade or a vintage home in need of a classic refurbishment, the roof replacement specialists are ready to work for you.
Tile and Slate Replacement
Tile roofing is a durable, fire resistant option, but since it can be extremely heavy, some homes may require additional engineering to withstand the weight. Tiles are also vulnerable to weather damage and may require more regular repair. Slate roofing is both beautiful and durable, but it can also be extremely heavy so it may not be suitable for every home. Slate also tends to be a more expensive option. Fibreglass and rubber roofing can be styled to look like slate while being both more affordable and more easily installed.
Thatched Roofs
Thatch roofing lends a more rustic, country feel to a home. Thatched roof replacement is labour intensive and should only be done by a professional as badly laid thatch is likely to leak and cause ventilation problems. Thatch requires regular maintenance and can be susceptible to damage by birds and weather. All Devon thatched homes should have a lightning conductor installed close to the home. While modern thatching is no longer considered a health hazard, allergy sufferers should consult the professionals before choosing this option.
Replacement Asphalt Roofs
Asphalt roofing is a popular option for Devon flat roofs as the material is very durable and weather resistant with a lifespan of up to 20 years if it is properly maintained. Only certified professionals should lay asphalt roofing as imprecise use of the material can jeopardise the longevity of the roof, putting the structural integrity of your roof at risk. Proper flashing is required to protect the roof against leaks.
Fibreglass Roof Replacement
Fibreglass roofing is durable and lightweight, making it suitable for smaller structures such as garden sheds or outhouses. Devon fibreglass roof replacement is recommended for those seeking a robust, flexible, and weather resistant material that will never corrode. Modern fibreglass roofing comes in a variety of styles and colours and can even be made to resemble tiles or slate. Fibreglass is one of the most inexpensive roofing materials and requires little to no maintenance.
Flat Roof Replacement
Flat roof replacement and pitched roof replacement can vary in price due to the types of materials and the amount of labour required. In most cases, it costs less to replace a flat roof because the materials are less expensive and the amount of labour involved isn’t as extensive. This is not always the case, though, and that’s why it is always best to obtain quotes from multiple roofing professionals in your area. Other factors will come into consideration, including the size of your roof and the types of roof replacement you want.
Replacing a Pitch Roof
Pitch roofs are commonly used in areas where a lot of snow and rain occurs, as well as in areas where a traditional building appearance is preferred.
In most cases, a pitch roof will outlast many other types because heavy rain and snow simply run off of them. However, as with all other Devon roof types, regular maintenance will be needed to keep them in good condition. When the time arises for this, it is essential that you hire companies that is experienced with this type of installation. This will ensure that a thorough inspection is performed ahead of time.
Easy to use, easy to setup and we're progressing with one of their recommendations. Mr P. Devon
Green Roofing Options
These days, people are growing more environmentally-conscious. That means they want to choose replacement roofs constructed from sustainable materials that will reduce their overall energy consumption. Fortunately, there are many roofing options that can do just that. These include the following:
- Recycled Shingles - Recycled shingles are becoming more popular in roof replacements with each passing year. They’re made from recycled waste materials, which may include everything from old rubber tyres to post-consumer water bottles. Most of these products are designed to help insulate your home while reflecting sunlight back into the atmosphere, which reduces your energy consumption, too.
- Wood - Wood shingles and shake may not seem sustainable, but this is no longer the case. Plenty of manufacturers now use reclaimed lumber to create these roofing products; the wood may come from old barns, bridges, wine and whisky barrels, and even shipping pallets.
- Slate and Clay - While slate must be mined from the Earth, it’s one of the most prevalent materials available. Slate lasts for a century or more, too, which means you’ll only need to install a roof once in your lifetime - and maybe your childrens’ lifetimes, too. Clay is also mined from the Earth, and it’s prevalent all over the globe. While it won’t last quite as long as slate, it’s affordable and quite sustainable since it can be recycled at the end of its lifespan.
- Metal - Metal roofing products can be recycled, which can help you feel good about your roof replacement. In fact, many of today’s manufacturers of metal roofing products are using up to 50% post-consumer materials, which means your roof may have been someone’s car or beverage can at some point. A few companies make metal roofing panels from 100% recycled aluminium, too.
DIY Roof Replacement Dangers
Roof replacement is a labour intensive job requiring specialised knowledge and the use of high power tools at extreme elevations. DIY roof replacements are not recommended as there is a risk of personal injury. Incorrectly laid roofing may also be detrimental to the structural integrity of your home, causing severe damage to the house.
Your Devon roof replacement questions answered
That depends on the type of roof you have, but generally is between 30 and 50 years. Even so, some Devon roofs can actually last for 100 years or more.
This will depend on the condition of those shingles, the overall condition of your roof, and local building codes. Get in touch for expert advice from local professionals.
Yes. Roof replacement is a complicated job that holds a lot of room for error if completed by an amateur. Professional roofers have years of training and experience to make sure your roof is replaced properly the first time.
You should look for a company that hires experienced roofers, and one that has been in business for at least a few years. Good reviews from previous customers can also be a fine indicator that you have chosen a superior company.
In most cases, replacing a roof on an average home will take less than a week. More time could be needed if you require repairs to your rafters, decking, or fascia.
Absolutely. As an example, if you currently have a pitched roof with traditional asphalt shingles and you want to install fibreglass shingles instead, this is possible and you can mention this when you ask for your quote.
The short answer is yes, but the long answer depends on many things. For example, if your home had a flat roof before and you want to install a sloped roof with slate tiles, you’ll need to change the structure of your home to support the new roof. If you have questions about changing your roof type, you should talk to your roofing contractor. This can help you make better, more affordable decisions.
Most of the time, you can continue to go about your normal life during a roof replacement. You should remember, though, that the process is quite loud and that parts of your home may be exposed to the open air while the project is ongoing. Many homeowners choose to move downstairs, stay in hotels, with friends, or with relatives until the process is complete.
If your Devon home needs a new roof, it will normally be best to use the same style as before. However, in cases where the existing roof is deemed unsuitable, the roofing experts on our network will be able to advise you what type will be most suitable.
Each roofing company will not only charge different prices for their work; their scope of work will also differ. For instance, while one company may include the removal of old roofing material in their pricing, another may not. Always ensure that you inspect quotes thoroughly before accepting to see why pricing is different.
