Re-tiling roof

jcb208

The existing slates are more valuable then new cement based slate and really should be re used

Roof replacement isn’t just about new shingles. Proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation make a huge difference in how long a roof actually lasts.

I ended up having a LOT of quotes. Rather late in the day I realised that there were a number of roofers who were part of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors "competent persons scheme," who could self-certify the work, avoiding the need to engage building control. Finally I found one of them who offered a competitive quote (<10K) and 10 year insurance backed guarantee.

Anyone coming across this thread in the future, ask Gemini /Chat GPT to find you local roofers who are part of the NFRC competent person's scheme, and create a ranked list in order of customer reviews and competitive pricing, in a table with contact details etc. If I had done this in the first instance it would have saved a lot of time.

Thanks for the update.

The real test of competence is to check out their recent work :-)

Are they planning to reuse the beautiful Welsh slate?
