How a Strip and Retile Works in Reading

Every strip and retile Reading homeowners book with us starts with a free quotation. We visit your home, look at the size and shape of the roof, talk through your tile options, and give you a clear price. Once you are happy, we agree a start date that suits you.

On the day, we carefully strip the old roof covering and fit new underlay, battens and fixings before laying your new tiles. Ridges, hips, valleys and finishing details are completed so the whole roof is neat and weathertight.

A strip and retile suits many Reading homes, from terraces close to the town centre to larger detached properties in the wider area. Each roof is planned around your property, so no two jobs are treated the same way.

Sometimes, a full roof replacement isn’t necessary. Depending on the age and quality of the tiles, it may be better to address underlying issues by removing old felt and battens, replacing them with a breathable membrane, and relaying the tiles with thicker, treated battens.

Ross and his colleague did an excellent job of replacing the lead flashing for my garage roof and cleaned the lead flashing under the two front bedroom windows. Ross also removed, re-bedded and repointed the garage roof ridge tiles which were coming loose. Very pleased indeed with the work and certainly would have no hesitation to use RM Roofing again.

Ross did a great job of replacing the lead flashing at the front of my house. Responded to all messages in a timely manner and also turned up when he said he would. Didn’t leave until all job was complete and took the old lead away for disposal.

After our ceiling collapsed during a storm, we asked Ross to come in and fix our roof. He found that the builders who did our dormer conversion had damaged our roof membrane and just left it like that. Fortunately Ross managed to get everything fixed in just a few days one the scaffolding went up. He even had a plasterer come in to fix the ceiling. Our neighbour - who is a tradesman himself - was so impressed with the job that he wanted Ross to do some work for him as well.

Ross recently did some work on our garage, replacing the roof and rendering the outside and replaced two windows - it has made a huge difference and couldn’t be more pleased with the work. We were super impressed with how quickly and efficiently the work was carried out. The site was cleared of all rubbish. We would hesitate to recommend Ross and indeed he has come back since and done some further work for us installing bird proofing on solar panels. Very happy customers 😊

RM Roofing are excellent. I had a few slipped slates causing water ingress into the property. Ross not only fixed it for a great price, but also went above and beyond making himself available over a weekend to get it done before rain was due. Will definitely use RM Roofing again.

Ross responded to our call quickly and came round within a couple of days to give us a quote on the spot for repairing where concrete had fallen out of our verge. I was worried the job would cost a fortune after a previous quote which had suggested it would take a full day, with the need for scaffolding, as the end tiles needed to be lifted to get the job done. But Ross was able to complete the job the next week, for a reasonable price, single handed from a ladder with no problem at all and in only a few hours. I would certainly recommend Ross at RM Roofing and we will be using his services again in the future.

I employed Ross to strip the concrete tiled roof on my lean-to kitchen and replace with slate to match the rest of the house, with two new Velux roof windows. This involved removal of existing tiles, felt, battens and flashing, replacement of some decayed timber with some changes to accomodate the new windows. New slates, windows and lead flashing with new battens and membrane, were installed to a high standard with the finished job looking very smart and neat with general making good of brickwork with lime mortar to maintain the integrity of the building. I am very pleased with the execution, the results, the tidyness of the site on completion and the price.

Ross did a wonderful job installing some extra ventilation after the original builders had made some mistakes. His service was extremely prompt and he was able to get the work done in a day! He's extremely honest and services are reasonably priced, which we really appreciated! Cannot recommend highly enough!
