Common questions
How long does a new roof last?
Concrete tiles typically last 50 years or more and natural slate can last over 100 years, while the membrane and battens are the parts that usually fail first.
Do I need planning permission to replace my roof?
Usually not if you replace like for like. Changing materials in a conservation area or on a listed building may need permission.
