Original Roofs Reaching Their Limit
An original roof may have had decades of patching without anyone looking at the whole thing. We check sheet condition, fixings and battens across every plane.
Sometimes a repair will buy you several more years. Other times, the money is better put toward replacing the whole roof.

What to Expect When the Old Roof Comes Off
The biggest unknown on an original roof is what lies underneath. Old battens and framing can only be fully checked once the cover is removed.
That is why our quotes include a clear allowance and an agreed rate for extra repairs, so you can make decisions with no pressure.

Questions
Mowbray Roofing: Questions
How long does an original roof last?
It varies widely with material, maintenance and exposure. An inspection is more useful than the age alone.
Should I fix the roof before selling?
It depends on the condition. Repairing active leaks is usually sensible, and a report can help buyers understand the roof.
What if the battens are bad?
We show you what we have found and apply the agreed allowance or rate before replacing them.
Can I replace my roof in stages?
Often, by doing one plane or section at a time, though joining old and new has its limits.
