New Roofs in Carlton: Re-Tiling Semis and Bungalow Re-Roofs
Carlton is built up with rows of 1930s semis, post-war housing and tidy bungalows, so many roofs in the suburb are now many decades old and a fair few have been patched more than once. When the repairs start overlapping, a new roof is often the more sensible step than another round of patching.
Evans Roofing Services is based in Beckingham and covers Carlton and the neighbouring areas of Gedling, Netherfield and Arnold. Re-tiling, complete roof replacements and new roofs for garages and extensions are all part of the work. The aim is a roof that suits the house and lasts, not a change for the sake of it.
What a re-roof involves
The old tiles are stripped, the underlay and battens are looked at, and anything that is no longer sound is renewed before the new covering goes on. On 1930s semis the original felt beneath the tiles is often worn out even where the tiles look presentable, which is why a re-tile is more than a change of surface.
Clay and concrete tiles are the usual choices for pitched roofs, with natural or manufactured slate available where the pitch and structure suit. Ridges, hips and verges are re-bedded or refixed as part of the work.
- Re-tiling in clay or concrete
- Slate roofs, natural or manufactured
- Complete roof replacement with structure inspected
- Bungalow re-roofs
- Garage and extension roofing, including flat roofs in EPDM, felt or GRP
Bungalows and extensions
A bungalow has a lot of roof for the size of the house, so the covering tends to age all at once. A full check from a ladder and from above shows whether a repair will hold or a new roof is the sensible choice.
Planning permission or building regulations approval may apply to new roofs and extensions, so check with your local council. Call or WhatsApp with photos of the roof and a note of any leaks to get a quote started.

New Roofs in Carlton: common questions
Does a 1930s Carlton semi need a new roof if the tiles look fine?
Not always, but the felt under the tiles may have worn out even when the tiles look sound. Daylight in the loft or stains on the underside of the roof are reasons to have it assessed.
Can a bungalow roof be done in a short time?
Many bungalow roofs are simple in shape, which helps, but the time depends on the size, the condition of the timbers and the weather. The likely duration is discussed when the work is quoted.
