New Roofs in Hucknall: Replacement Coverings and Extension Roofs
Hucknall sits on the northern edge of the Nottingham area, and its streets show several eras at once: older terraces near the centre, post-war housing around them and modern estates beyond. A new roof here can mean quite different things depending on which of those you live in.
We are based in Beckingham and cover Hucknall for new roof work. That includes complete replacements where the old covering has reached the end of its life, fresh coverings on extensions, and flat roofs for garages and similar buildings. The first job is always to see what is actually on the building.
Replacing a worn covering
On older terraces a roof may still carry traditional tiles or slate, and replacing it is a chance to look at the timbers underneath before the new covering goes on. On post-war semis and later estate houses, the existing concrete tiles may simply have weathered out.
A complete replacement can involve stripping the old covering, inspecting the structure, replacing components that need it and installing the new system. Planning permission or building regulations may apply, so check with your local council before you start.
- Clay or concrete tiles chosen for pitch, structure and exposure
- Natural or manufactured slate with suitable fixings
- Full strip and re-roof, with the structure checked
- Replacement of defective components found along the way
Shallow sections, porches and garages
Newer estate houses often combine a pitched main roof with shallow sections and small flat areas over porches and bays. These can wear out sooner than the main roof, and a new roof project is the right moment to deal with them too.
Flat roofs for garages and extensions can be built in EPDM rubber, felt or GRP fibreglass, depending on the building. To talk about a new roof, call or WhatsApp with photos of the existing one and we can give you a quote.
- EPDM, felt or GRP for suitable flat roofs
- Garage and extension roofs that complement the house
- Porch and bay roofs renewed alongside the main work

New Roofs in Hucknall: common questions
Can a new roof be fitted over the old one?
That depends on the existing structure and covering, and it is not something we would decide without seeing the roof. Stripping back usually lets the timbers be checked properly. Where the structure has a clear fall and sound battens, a modern tile can often reproduce the look of what was there before.
Is a modern estate roof any different to replace?
The tiles are often a standard concrete type, so replacement can be straightforward. The small flat or shallow sections over porches and bays still need separate attention.
