Roof Replacement in Clifton: When a Tiled Roof Has Had Its Day
Clifton is a large suburb south of the River Trent, and much of it was built in the post-war years, with later infill squeezed in around the older streets. Roofs from that period have now had a long time in the weather, and many are at the stage where patching them has stopped making sense.
Evans Roofing is based in Beckingham and fits new roofs in Clifton and the neighbouring areas of West Bridgford, Ruddington and Beeston. The work covers tiled and slate re-roofing, flat roof installations and roofing on extensions and garages. A new roof is a bigger decision than a repair, so the starting point is looking at what is actually up there.
Signs a roof has reached the end
Tiles that are crumbling at the edges, patches of repeated slipping, a sagging ridge line and leaks that come back after repair all point the same way. Tiled roofs can also hold moss and grime for years, which hides hairline cracks, so cleaning and then checking the surface carefully is a practical way to decide between repair and replacement.
Once the decision is made, the old covering is stripped, the battens and felt are inspected, and any rotten timber is replaced before the new roof goes on. Planning permission or building regulations may apply to some roof work and extensions, so check with your local council.

Fitting the new roof to the house
Streets in a suburb like this often mix 1930s semis, post-war estates and later infill, so we look at the roof in front of us rather than assuming one type. A new covering on an extension should sit comfortably with the main roof, and a flat-roofed garage may need a completely separate approach.
If you are thinking about replacing a roof, send photos of the slopes and any ceiling stains. Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing and we can talk through the options and give you a quote.

New Roofs in Clifton: common questions
How do I decide between patching and replacing a tiled roof?
Count the repairs and look at the tiles themselves. If fresh problems keep appearing and the surface is crumbling, replacement usually makes more sense than another patch.
Does a new roof mean new battens and felt too?
Often it does, because old felt and battens may have deteriorated. They are inspected when the covering is stripped, and replaced where needed.
