General

What are the most important elements to consider when restoring or replacing a roof?
At Graham, we make all the considerations for you. But in general, it’s best to determine the following:

Planning – Does the product you wish to use meet local planning requirements? (If applicable).

Weight: structural support may be required depending on which material you want to use, so considering the weight of your chosen roof covering is important before making your final decision. This can save you time and money.

How much will a roof replacement or repair cost?
Naturally, as some roofs are more extensive or complex than others, the cost is all calculated on an individual case-by-case basis.

It depends entirely on a variety of different factors such as size, complexity, location, product, fittings and more.

What different roof materials are there?

There are many different types of roof coverings we have available at Graham – and they each possess design aspects and qualities that are best suited for different styles of house/building:

  • Slate Tiles – Simple, economical, and always available
  • Clay Tiles – Ideal for intricate details
  • Concrete Tiles – Diverse range of colours and textures
  • Shingled Roofing – Rustic looking
  • Metal Roofing – Durable, adaptable
  • Architectural shingles
If my roof is leaking, does it need replacing?
A leak in your roof does not mean it needs a complete replacement. Generally, leaks stems from damaged penetrations, missing shingles, damaged flashing and sometimes wind damage.

A complete roof system failure, or a generally unsafe roof, will need a complete roof replacement.

Our team is happy to explain what level of repair your roof needs.

What signs should home, or business owners be aware of in terms of replacing the roof?

There are many signs that your roof is due to be replaced. If you believe your roof is showing any of these signs, then it’s time to call in our experts.

  • Your roof has not been replaced in 20-30 years (average lifespan).
  • Your tiles or shingles are turning upwards (known as cupping) or the edges are flat and the middle turns up (known as clawing).
  • There are entire tiles or shingles missing from your roof.
  • You notice that any tiles or shingles are cracked.
  • Light leaks through your roof and can be seen in your attic.
  • The roof is sagging in one place, which could indicate a structural issue.
Do I need to move out during the roof replacement?
This only happens in very rare and exceptional cases – like when the roof is structurally unsafe and there is a risk of collapse. Otherwise, you are free to stay at home and resume life as usual.
