FAQs
What roofing services do you offer in Whitwell?
Our crew provides a full spectrum of residential and light–commercial roofing services in Whitwell, including roof inspections, leak detection, storm-damage repair, complete re-roofing, new-build roof installation, leadwork and flashing, fascia/soffit replacement, guttering, and preventative maintenance programmes. We work with pitched roofs (slate, tile) and flat roofs (EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, torch-on felt), so whatever your property type, we have the expertise to help.
How quickly can you respond to emergency roof repairs in Whitwell?
Because we are a local Whitwell team, we aim to be on site within 2–4 hours of your call for urgent issues such as major leaks, blown-off shingles, or fallen branches. Our vans carry common repair materials so we can perform a temporary fix immediately, then schedule a follow-up visit for permanent repairs once weather conditions and materials allow. We also offer a 24/7 phone line during severe weather events.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for Whitwell’s climate, and why?
Whitwell experiences regular wind and driving rain, so we typically recommend: • Concrete or clay tiles for pitched roofs – they’re durable, resist high winds, and last 50+ years. • Natural slate where budgets allow – aesthetically pleasing, highly water-resistant, and can last a century. • For flat roofs, single-ply EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass – both cope well with standing water and temperature swings while requiring minimal maintenance. We always inspect your existing roof structure and discuss budget, insulation needs, and aesthetic preferences before making a final recommendation.
Do I need to obtain planning permission for a roof replacement in Whitwell?
In most cases, like-for-like roof replacements fall under Permitted Development and do not need formal planning approval. However, you will need permission if: • Your property is listed or within a conservation area. • You are significantly altering the roofline (e.g., adding a dormer) or changing materials from tile to metal, for example. We handle all Building Regulations notifications and can advise or liaise with the South Yorkshire Planning Department if a full application is required.
How much does a new roof cost, and what factors affect the price?
Costs in Whitwell typically range from £80 to £120 per m² for a tiled pitched roof and £60 to £90 per m² for a flat EPDM roof, but several variables influence the final price: 1. Roof size and complexity (number of hips, valleys, chimneys). 2. Choice of material (concrete tile, clay tile, slate, metal, EPDM, GRP, felt). 3. Access and scaffolding requirements. 4. Need for structural repairs or new insulation/ventilation. 5. Waste disposal and site setup. We offer free, no-obligation surveys and provide a detailed written quotation so you know exactly where your money is going.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide on your roofing work?
All new roof installations come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee from our company, plus manufacturer warranties on materials that range from 10 years (torch-on felt) to 25–40 years (slate, premium tiles, EPDM). For repairs, we provide a 1–5 year labour guarantee depending on the scope of work. We are fully insured with £5 million public liability cover for your peace of mind.
