When repairs stop making sense and a full re-roof becomes the right option, it's natural to want to know exactly what you're signing up for. Here's a clear, honest breakdown of what Back to Back Roofing Worcester actually does during a full re-roof, from start to finish.
What Counts as a Full Re-Roof?
A full re-roof means stripping the existing covering back to the roof structure and replacing everything above it — underlay, battens, and the tiles or slate themselves. It's a complete renewal, not a patch repair, which is why the process looks quite different from a standard repair visit.
Why Homeowners Choose a Full Re-Roof
- The existing roof has reached the end of its practical lifespan
- Repeated repairs are no longer cost-effective
- Storm or long-term water damage has affected a large area
- It's a chance to upgrade insulation while the roof is already open
The Actual Process, Step by Step
- Free survey and quote. We assess the roof properly before any work starts, so the quote reflects the real job.
- Scaffolding and site setup. Safe access is arranged before anything is touched.
- Strip-out and disposal. The old covering comes off and is disposed of responsibly.
- New underlay and battens. Fitted correctly to current standards, giving the new covering a solid base.
- New tiles or slate installed. Matched to your chosen material, with proper attention to ridges and hips.
- Final inspection and sign-off. Nothing is called finished until it meets the standard we'd expect.
What to Expect On-Site
- Scaffolding up for the duration of the project
- Some noise and disruption, particularly during strip-out
- A tidy site maintained throughout, not left in a mess overnight
- Clear communication if anything unexpected is found once the roof is open
