New Roofs in Bulwell: Re-roofing Terraces, Semis and Extensions
Bulwell sits in the north-west of Nottingham, and its streets are a patchwork: terraced rows, inter-war semis, post-war estates and later infill. A roof on one street can be a completely different job from the roof two streets over, so a new roof here starts with looking at the building in front of you.
Evans Roofing is based in Beckingham and covers Bulwell for tiled and slate re-roofing, flat roof installations and roofs on extensions and garages. A new roof is usually the answer when repairs have started to follow one another, or when the battens and felt underneath have given up even if the tiles look fair.
What goes into a re-roof
The old covering is stripped, and the timbers underneath are inspected before anything new goes on. Rotten battens and torn felt are replaced, and the new tiles or slates are fixed to suit the pitch and the exposure of the roof.
On a terrace, the roof is often shared in a continuous line with the neighbours, so the junctions at party walls and the abutments need careful detailing. Planning permission or building regulations may apply to some roof work, so check with your local council.
- Clay and concrete tiled roofs chosen to suit the pitch

- New roofs for extensions and garages
- Flat roof systems in EPDM, felt or GRP
Matching the roof to the house
A 1930s semi calls for a different approach from a terraced house or a post-war estate home, and the existing look of the street matters. New concrete tiles can sit well on many suburban roofs, while a traditional terrace may suit a closer match to what was there.
If you are weighing replacement against another round of repairs, send photos of the roof and any stains indoors. Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing and we can talk through what looks sensible and give you a quote.

New Roofs in Bulwell: common questions
How do I know if my roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
Repeated leaks, many slipped or crumbling tiles and sagging in the roof line all point toward replacement. A look at the felt and battens underneath settles it.
Can a back addition get a new roof at the same time?
Yes, and it often makes sense to deal with both together. The flat roof on a back addition has its own materials and details, so it is treated as a separate part of the job.
