How long does it take to build a new roof?

A standard residential new roof typically takes between 5 to 10 working days, depending on the size and complexity. We provide a specific timeline before we start so you can plan accordingly.

How do I know if I need a new roof or just a repair?

If your roof is over 25 years old, has widespread tile failure, or if the internal timber shows signs of significant sagging or rot, a new build is often more cost-effective than constant, expensive repairs.

What kind of warranty do you provide?

We stand by our craftsmanship. All our new roof builds come with a comprehensive workmanship guarantee in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty on the specific tiles or slates used.

Will you handle the disposal of the old roof?

Absolutely. On replacement projects, we handle the full strip-out and environmentally responsible disposal of all old materials, leaving your site spotless.

new roof builds

A new roof is the most important investment you will make in your home. At CT Roofing & Carpentry, we don't just "lay tiles"—we build complete roofing systems. Because we are experts in both carpentry and roofing, we ensure that the timber framework beneath your tiles is structurally perfect before the first shingle is ever laid.

Expertly Crafted Foundations. Precision Roofing. Lifetime Protection.

Our New Build Services

Full Structural Timber Framing

Unlike standard roofing companies, we handle the high-end carpentry required for roof trusses and rafters. We ensure your roof’s "skeleton" is perfectly leveled and reinforced to support the weight of your chosen materials for decades.

Slate & Tiled Roof Installations

We offer a wide range of premium materials, from traditional natural slate to modern concrete and clay tiles. Our team ensures every tile is precision-aligned and secured, providing a beautiful aesthetic that boosts your home’s value.

High-Performance Underlayment

The real protection happens beneath the tiles. We use breathable, high-grade membranes and eave protectors to ensure your roof is 100% waterproof while allowing for the essential airflow that prevents timber rot and mold.

Custom Leadwork & Finishing

The "details" are where most roofs fail. We specialize in custom lead flashing for valleys, chimneys, and abutments, ensuring a watertight seal at every joint. We finish every project with professional ridge capping and dry-fix systems.

The CT New Build Process

Consultation & Structural Review

We start by assessing your architectural plans or your current roof's condition. We help you choose the right materials based on your home’s pitch, local weather patterns, and budget.

The Carpentry & Decking Phase

Our carpenters get to work on the framework. We ensure the rafters are sound, the felt and battening are tensioned correctly, and the ventilation is integrated into the structure.

The Final Tile & Handover

Once the "bones" are set, we lay the exterior materials with precision. After a final multi-point safety and quality inspection, we leave your property clean, tidy, and fully protected.

I couldn’t be happier with the work carried out on my roof. The tiles and felt were replaced, and from start to finish the service was absolutely top class.
