New Roofs in Keyworth: Tiled, Slate and Flat Roof Installations
A new roof is a big decision on a village house, and in Keyworth the starting point is usually the property itself. Detached and semi-detached homes sit alongside a good number of bungalows, and each one asks a slightly different question of a roof. A bungalow has a large, low-sloped roof area that is very visible from the street. A detached house tends to have several elevations facing the weather.
Evans Roofing Services is based in Beckingham and covers Keyworth and the surrounding villages. We install new roofs and replace worn ones, working with tiles, slate and flat roofing systems, and we look at what is on the building before suggesting what should go back on it.
What a full re-roof in Keyworth can involve
A complete replacement usually starts with stripping the old covering and checking the timbers and battens underneath. Anything that has softened or split is replaced before the new system goes on, because a fresh roof laid over tired timber does not last as it should.
Bungalows often suit a lighter concrete or clay tile, while some older detached houses may be better served by natural or manufactured slate. The choice depends on the pitch, the structure and how exposed the roof is.
- Tiled roofs in clay or concrete, matched to the pitch and structure
- Slate roofs, natural or manufactured, with suitable fixings
- Flat roofs in EPDM rubber, felt or GRP fibreglass
- Garage and extension roofs that sit neatly with the main house
- Stripping, structural checks and replacement of damaged components
Planning a new roof for your house or bungalow
Changing the shape of a roof, adding a dormer or building an extension may need planning permission or building regulations approval, so check with your local council before work is agreed. A like-for-like covering is often simpler, but it is still worth asking.
If you are weighing up a replacement, send us a few photos of the roof from the ground and any areas that concern you. Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing and we can discuss the job and give you a quote.

New Roofs in Keyworth: common questions
Is a bungalow roof easier to replace than a two-storey house?
Access is often simpler on a bungalow because the work is nearer the ground, but the roof area can be large. The covering, timbers and edges are checked in the same way as on any other house.
Can I change from one type of tile to another?
Often you can, provided the roof structure can carry the new covering and the pitch suits it. Some changes may need approval, so check with your local council first.
