New Roof Installation in Bircotes: Tiles, Slate and Flat Roofs
Bircotes is a small village next to Harworth, and its housing is mostly family homes and bungalows laid out in neat rows. When one of those roofs reaches the end of its life, the decision is rarely a quick one, because a replacement covers a lot of ground and the cost of getting the choice wrong falls on you for decades.
Evans Roofing is based in Beckingham and fits new roofs in Bircotes and the surrounding villages. That includes full replacements, new coverings on extensions and garages, and flat roof installations where a pitched roof would not suit the building. Bungalows deserve a particular mention, because the roof is the largest single feature of the house and every slope is easy to see from the street.
Choosing the covering
Clay and concrete tiles suit different pitches, and slate, natural or manufactured, needs the right fixings and detailing to look right and stay put. The structure underneath has to take the weight, so the rafters and battens are checked when the old covering comes off, not assumed.
On a long bungalow roof, a few mismatched patches from earlier repairs often show up once the old tiles are lifted. A full replacement is a chance to put that right and make the whole slope uniform.
- Tiled roof installations in clay or concrete
- Slate roofs, natural or manufactured, with suitable fixings
- Complete replacements, including stripping and structural checks
- Roofing for extensions and garages that complements the existing building
- Flat roof systems in EPDM, felt or GRP where they suit the structure
Mixed properties in one village
Alongside the rows of bungalows, a village like this also has cottages and larger detached homes, often with a flat-roofed extension at the back. A new roof on one of the bigger properties has more area to cover, so a proper look at the existing roof before deciding between repair and replacement is worth the time.
Planning permission or building regulations may apply to some new roofs and extensions, so check with your local council. If you are thinking of a new roof, call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with photos of the house from a few angles and we will quote from there.

New Roofs in Bircotes: common questions
Is it worth re-roofing a bungalow in one go?
Usually, yes, because the scaffold and the stripping are the same whichever way the job is split. Doing the whole roof at once also avoids ending up with two coverings of different ages on one building.
Can the new roof on an extension match the house?
That is the aim. The covering is chosen to sit well with the existing roof, though an older tile may be hard to match exactly, so we would look at what is on the house first.
