Bungalow Re-roofs and New Roofs for Calverton Homes
Bungalows are a big part of the housing in Calverton, alongside post-war homes and newer cul-de-sacs, and a bungalow roof is a larger undertaking than it looks from the pavement. The roof is spread over a single floor, so there is a lot of covering for the size of the house, and it tends to wear out as a whole rather than in patches.
Evans Roofing Services is based in Beckingham and covers Calverton, with Arnold, Gedling, Hucknall and Southwell nearby. We carry out tiled, slate and flat roof installations and complete roof replacements, and we begin with a look at what is on the building now rather than assuming the answer.
What a bungalow re-roof involves
A full replacement can include stripping the old tiles, inspecting the rafters, battens and felt, replacing anything unsound and fitting the new covering with fresh flashings and ridge details. Because the loft is often a single open space, it is straightforward to check the timbers from inside as the work goes on.
The weight and look of the new tile matter on a low, wide roof. Clay and concrete tiles both suit many bungalows, and slate can work where the property and structure are suitable.
- Clay or concrete tile roofs matched to pitch and exposure
- Natural or manufactured slate with suitable fixings
- Stripping, structure checks and replacement of defective timber
- Flat roof systems in EPDM, felt or GRP on suitable sections
- New roofs for extensions and garages
Planning a new roof around other work
If you are thinking about a roof window or a loft room, it is sensible to plan that into the new roof rather than cutting into it later. Planning permission and building regulations may apply to new roofs, extensions and loft work, so check with your local council before you commit.

New Roofs in Calverton: common questions
How do I know whether my Calverton bungalow needs a new roof?
Look for tiles that are cracking or flaking, repeated slipped tiles, stained ceilings and daylight in the loft. When faults are spread across the whole roof, an inspection will help you weigh repair against replacement.
Can I have a roof window put in while the roof is replaced?
Often that is the easiest time, because the covering is already off and the structure can be checked. Whether it suits your roof depends on the rafters and the intended use of the loft, and building regulations may apply.
