New Roofs in Ruddington: Cottage and Modern Home Re-roofs
Ruddington is a village just south of Nottingham where older cottages sit among a good deal of modern housing, and that mix shapes what a new roof looks like. A re-roof on a later family home is largely a matter of structure, pitch and a sensible tile, while a cottage calls for a more careful choice of covering and detailing so it still looks like the building it is.
Evans Roofing Services is based in Beckingham and covers Ruddington and the villages nearby, including Clifton, Keyworth and Cotgrave. We install tiled, slate and flat roofs and carry out complete replacements, matching the specification to the property rather than treating every house the same.
Re-roofing a cottage compared with a newer house
Older cottage roofs can have uneven lines and aged timbers, so stripping one is as much about inspecting the structure as laying the new covering. Anything that has rotted is replaced, and the new tiles or slates are chosen so they sit comfortably on the existing building.
Later homes are usually simpler to cover, but the pitch, the exposure and the loading of the rafters still decide which tile is suitable, and the junctions with extensions need proper detailing.
- Clay or concrete tiles suited to the pitch and structure
- Natural or manufactured slate with appropriate fixings
- Stripping the old covering and checking battens and rafters
- Replacing unsound components before the new system goes on
- Flat roof installations in EPDM, felt or GRP where suitable
Extensions, garages and planning checks
A rear extension or garage roof should complement the main house, whether that means a matching pitched tile roof or a neat flat roof. Planning permission and building regulations may apply to new roofs and extensions, and in an older part of a village it is particularly worth asking your local council before work starts.

New Roofs in Ruddington: common questions
Is a new roof on a Ruddington cottage very different from a modern house?
The process is similar, but a cottage needs more care over the structure, the tile or slate choice and the finishing details. We look at the roof as it stands before suggesting a covering that suits it.
Do I need permission for a new roof?
Replacing like for like is often straightforward, but changing materials, raising the roof or adding an extension may need permission or building regulations approval. Check with your local council, and have the details to hand when you ask.
