Average cost of a roof replacement in Nottingham
JTB Roofers Nottingham advise building owners that your roof is one of the most important components of your property. Roofs are constantly exposed to the elements all year round, meaning they are likely to be in need of repair on occasions. If you find that your roof is in need of frequent repairs then it may be time to consider having a complete roof replacement. To understand if a new roof is a cost-effective option, our roofers in Nottingham have put together a table below detailing the average cost of a new roof and also roof repairs. This should help improve transparency when agreeing the final cost for the project.
What Aspects Affect the Cost of a New Roof?
There are different factors that will affect the final cost that you will pay for a roof replacement. Some of these are outlined below:
The size of your roof – Roofs that have a larger surface area will require more materials and labour and will therefore be more expensive.
Scope of the project – If the project is a like-for-like replacement, this will be a lower cost than if structural alterations are needed on the underlying roof construct.
The property height – Taller properties will need more scaffolding so that roofers in Nottingham can safely carry out work
The shape of the roof and design complexity – Roofs with more complex designs will require skilled work and as a result additional labour, leading to increased costs.
Material choice – Finished roof coverings differ in price depending on the material. Slate usually is the most expensive finish. This being said, it has the greatest lifespan when compared to clay or concrete.
Cost to remove waste – The cost to remove any waste material needs to be accounted for. The price of skip hire will need to be included in the final cost.
Other roof related work – If you also have your fascia and soffit panels replaced and also gutters and downpipes then this will affect the final cost of the project.
Roof type – Flat roofs are usually less expensive to replace than pitched ones. However, it should be highlighted that they also have a shorter lifespan. Traditional materials used on flat roofs such as asphalt are cheaper than contemporary materials like PVC and fibreglass.
JTB Roofers Nottingham would like to highlight that the costs we have outlined below are average prices to be used as a guide and not actual costs. Prices can vary depending on several aspects that we have listed above. If you require free expert advice and a competitive quote please

JTB ROOFERS NOTTINGHAM - NEWS POSTS
Meet our Master Roofers in Nottingham
In this section we introduce on of our master roofer in Nottingham, John. John has been working on roofs in the Nottingham area for close to a decade. In that time there is no roofing problem he has not seen.
Below he discusses some roofing tips, including five common roofing problems for building owners in Nottingham, how to tell when your property is in need of a new roof and what you should do if you are experiencing roofing problems.
Five Common Roofing Problems
- Roof Leaks - John notes that leaking roofs are a common issue that Roofers Nottingham are called to deal with. Roof leaks can have a number of causes. Left unrepaired, roof leaks,can cause expensive structural damage so be sure to call a professional roofer for a thorough inspection.
- Damaged Roof Tiles - John is called out to repair damaged roof tiles on a daily basis. Damaged can be caused by several factors including natural wear and tear, storm damage, uv exposure etc. Although, you may see the damage as superficial, damage to your roof covering can lead to roof leaks.
- Pooling Water - Standing water is another common issue that John sees on a day-to-day basis. This is a typical problem for those who have flat roofs. Water can start to pool on your roof as it sinks and lead to serious structural damage. John recommends contacting your local professional roofer as soon a possible.
- Damage to Roof Flashing - Flashing is a crucial component that is installed around joints or difficult areas on your roof to protect them from water damage and leaks. These areas include the chimney, skylights, venting pipes, and heating and cooling systems. Proper installation and attachment are essential to prevent any issues from arising. If the flashing becomes damaged, your roof and joints any protrusions become exposed, resulting in various problems, such as roofs leaks. If you detect any damaged flashing, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified professional.
- Roof Ventilation Problems - John advises when your roof's ventilation system is not functioning correctly, it can cause issues both inside and outside of your house. Inadequate roof ventilation results in moisture buildup in your attic, which can raise the temperature inside your home. This condition can eventually lead to a range of issues, such as damage to your roof membrane, deterioration of your roof covering, insulation problems, structural damage to rafters, and high energy costs. Additionally, during winter, it can contribute to the formation of ice dams, which pose both safety and structural problems. It is recommended to have your roof inspected by professional roofers in Nottingham to determine if your ventilation system meets the required standards.
How to Know if I Need a New Roof?
Our master roofer in Nottingham, John, notes that a pitched roof's lifespan can extend up to 100 years. John advises the longevity of your roof depends on a number of factors such as:
- the external elements it is exposed to
- the roof design (flat roofs usually have a shorter lifespan than pitched
- the material composition
- the care and maintenance it receives
- age
John recommends performing regular inspections of your roof, approximately once a quarter, to ensure it remains in optimal condition. With the naked eye or binoculars check for for signs of wear and tear, particularly around areas of flashing, guttering, ridges, and fascia and soffit boards. Loose tiles or shingles, excessive moss growth, and leaks in your internal roof space are all indicators that your roof needs attention.
If you do start to notice frequent repairs are required or an excessive amount of roof leaks, it may be time to contact a professional roofing team, such as JTB Roofers Nottingham, for a replacement roof. Roofers in Nottingham can assess your roof and related components to determine the extent of any necessary repairs and provide an honest evaluation of the remaining lifespan of your roof.
I am Experiencing Roofing Problems What Should I do?
if you are experiencing roofing problems, our master roofer, John, recommends contacting your local professional roofers in Nottingham as soon as possible. Failure to do so, could lead to more expensive damage to your property.

JTB Roofers in Nottingham - Surveys and Reports

JTB Roofers Nottingham employs cutting-edge technology to provide efficient and accurate roof surveys through drone technology. By utilising drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced imaging software, we ensure comprehensive assessments of roofs without the need for costly and time-consuming manual inspections. Our drone surveys offer unparalleled detail, capturing images and data from multiple angles to identify potential issues such as leaks, damage, or structural weaknesses. With this innovative approach, JTB Roofers Nottingham delivers swift and precise evaluations, enabling us to offer clients informed recommendations and efficient solutions tailored to their roofing needs. Trust JTB Roofers Nottingham for expert drone surveys that prioritise safety, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.
Roofs and their fixtures have a natural timespan. Factors that can influence the lifespan of a roof and its connected components include the roof makeup, the roof type, and the elements to which the roof is naturally exposed. As a general rule, a roof can last anywhere between 15 to 100 years. Flat roofs usually have a shorter lifespan than those that are pitched.
Here at JTB Roofers Nottingham our independent contractors recommend routinely surveying your roof and its fixtures for evidence of damage and wear and tear. Recognising any damage and conducting roof-related repairs will not only improve the lifespan of your roof and related components, it may also help save effort, time, and money in the future.
Our JTB Roofing Nottingham team understands the difficulties involved in inspecting your roof from ground level. In addition, the untrained eye may find it difficult to identify damage or wear and tear. This is why we advise that you contact a roofing specialist like Roofers Nottingham, to conduct a detailed inspection and report as a matter of routine. Please note, roof inspections must only be undertaken by trained roofers who have the correct equipment and the knowledge and skills to conduct such an inspection, for health and safety reasons. However, there are some general signs you can look out for to identify the current state of your roof. This can be done from ground level with the naked eye or binoculars.
Try to take a look at the visible roof tiles or shingles. Check whether they are securely fitted, whether any are loose or have slipped. Also, inspect the verges of your roof. If you have a dry verge ensure all plastic cappings are in place on the tiles or shingles. For wet verge roofs check whether the sand/cement mortar is still intact. Additionally, survey your roof for any growth of moss, possible gaps or leaks, or any other debris. Other things to check include ensuring your guttering is fitted securely with brackets to the fascia boards, and your gutters and downpipes are free from blockages and leaks. When inspecting the guttering, Roofers Nottingham advise building owners to try and ascertain whether rainwater is being transported safely into the guttering and not flowing behind, down, or even underneath the fascia boards.
JTB Roofers Nottingham also recommends that building owners regularly check their roofs internally, if it is safe for you to do so. If you have safe access to your roof internally, inspect the condition of the timber rafters and the sheathing. You should not be able to see any light coming in from the outside. If you can see daylight, there is a possibility of rainwater ingress. Check your insulation to ensure it is dry. Wet insultation is not fit for purpose and is a sign of a leaky roof.
Here at JTB Roofers in Nottingham, we survey and report on the overall condition of your roof. This helps to identify any defects and areas that may be in need of repair. Our roof repairs Nottingham team will safely conduct a complete survey of your flat or pitched roof. Following the survey, we will report on any repair work that may be required and the most cost-effective solution. JTB Roofing Nottingham provides roof surveys to domestic, commercial, and industrial building owners. Please contact a member of our Roof Repairs Nottingham team for further details.

Our independent roofing Nottingham contractors prioritise excellent service and customer satisfaction, and will only class a project as complete once the customer is satisfied. All work is completed in accordance with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, as roofing work has the innate risk of working at height. Before commencing any project we complete a full risk assessment as the safety of our staff and the public is of paramount importance to us.
Here at JTB Roofers in Nottingham, when constructing or replacing a new roof we follow a process, as outlined. Firstly, we inspect your roof to fully evaluate its current state. If we have been asked to construct a roof on a new-build property we follow the designs provided by the customer, so long as they are feasible. At this point in the project, we also undertake a full risk assessment. The next stage is to safely strip back your existing roof (if applicable); this includes flat roof coverings, roof shingles, roof tiles, membranes, etc. Generally, for pitched roofs our Roofing Nottingham team lay a new protective covering on the timber rafters which will then be secured with wooden batons. We intend to complete this stage of the job within one day to ensure the property is waterproof and not vulnerable to the elements for longer than is necessary. Lastly, we finish with your choice of roofing materials, for example tiles or shingles. Our contractors also fit any metal or lead flashing over chimneys, roof valleys, skylights, etc. This enhances the durability of the roof and keeps the building waterproof.

Why do roofs need to be replaced?
Our team are experts for roofing Nottingham and we regularly try to explain to our customers why their roof may need to be replaced. Any good roofers in Nottingham will be able to advise on your roof condition, but as a homeowner or landlord, you must consider whether replacing your roof will offer better value for money than carrying out multiple repairs.
The main issue when it comes to assessing the condition of a roof is the fact that you can only see a limited amount of detail from the ground, and you may only notice that you have an issue with your roof once leaks or other issues begin to occur. One simple way to help guide your decision on whether to replace your roof is to consider the age of your roof. If the roof hasn’t been replaced in 50 years or more, then it may be time to consider replacing it entirely. However, that may not always be the case. Flat roofs tend to last much shorter periods of time, such as 20 years or less. In addition, your roof may suffer from defects due to poor workmanship, or as a result of storm damage, which may mean that your roof’s lifespan is severely shortened. Therefore, roofing Nottingham always recommend a survey from one our experienced roofers in Nottingham.
To get a good understanding if your roof needs replacing, look inside the upper rooms of the property. If you notice leaks, water stains, or black mould, this can be an indication of a defective roof. In addition, if the roof itself appears to sag, this can be a sign that there is problem with the structural integrity of the rafters, so urgent attention is required. If you can safely access your loft, it is worth checking to see if you notice visible rot in the roofing timbers. Another check that can be carried out from the loft is to assess if any daylight is visible, as this is a sure sign that cracks and holes are present in the roof, which water will eventually find a way through.
If you need an expert opinion on your roof, then call JTB Roofing Nottingham for a free quote. Our roofers in Nottingham will provide trusted advice and will be able to recommend the most cost-effective method to replace your roof. We will offer guidance on tile choices, timescales and pricing options, to make sure that your new roof stands the test of time.
How long will my roof replacement take?
At JTB Roofers Nottingham, we generally say that a new roof replacement from start to finish will take anywhere from 1-2 weeks on average. That is not to say that every roof is completed within these timescales, as there are some crucial factors that will affect the length of time as follows:
Weather conditions - inclement weather such as rain, wind, frost or snow can make it unsafe to work on your roof. In addition, if the forecast is bad, then it is not a good idea to start stripping your roof as this can leave it open to the elements. At roofers Nottingham, we carefully monitor the weather forecast to guide our schedule.
Size and complexity of your roof – larger roofs will naturally take longer to replace due to the additional work that is required, and complex roofs will require a more thought-out design which can increase the time necessary to complete the works. Larger roofs will also require more scaffolding, and this will take longer to erect and take down which will affect the time for your roof replacement.
Scope of the works – if your roof needs any structural alterations such as replacement of rotten roof timbers, then this will add time on to the job. In addition, if your roof replacement involves the replacement of a dormer window or the install of a skylight, then this will affect the time taken.
At JTB Roofers Nottingham, we are aware that a roof replacement can cause significant disruption and stress. That is why we aim to complete all our roof replacements as quickly and efficiently as possible. Get in touch with us today to discuss your roofing requirements.

Our contractors are often called out to customers when these substances have blocked gutters and downpipes, restricting the safe transportation of rainwater. For more information on our roof cleaning services contact our Roofing Nottingham team today.
JTB Roofers in Nottingham - Fascias and Soffits
Our Roofers Nottingham team offers fitting and maintenance of fascias and soffits for building owners as part of our roof-related services. These services are provided for both domestic and commercial properties. Our trusted contractors are proficient in fitting, repairing, and maintaining fascia and soffit panels. Fascia and soffit boards are an essential component of a building as they comprise the outer structure of the roof base. On the majority of buildings the guttering is fitted to the fascia panels. Proper care and maintenance of these boards is important as they offer protection and ventilation for your roof. The absence of any aeriation can encourage condensation to form internally, potentially leaving wooden rafters vulnerable to decay. In addition, routine maintenance of fascia and soffit boards enhances the aesthetic aspect of your building.
JTB Roofers in Nottingham estimates the lifespan of wooden fascias and soffits to be approximately 10 years. Panels made from PVC are understood to last slightly longer. JTB Roofing Nottingham consistently recommends that our clients routinely survey and maintain boards to increase their lifespan. Although, as with any building component, eventually new fascias and soffit boards will be required. When inspecting your panels for any faults or damage, check for any discolouration on the edges and any tears or cracks. Also look out for water travelling from your roof and behind the fascia boards instead of into the guttering.
Our expert contractors are experienced in fitting fascia and soffit panels on newly-constructed residential and commercial buildings. Roof Repairs Nottingham can also be employed to replace current boards as well as to maintain them. If you require specialist advice on the present state of your fascia and soffit panels, Roofers Nottingham can visit your property to conduct an inspection and recommend which types of repairs may be beneficial.
In relation to the installation or replacement of panels, JTB Roofing Nottingham supply and install high-quality PVC or hardwood fascia and soffit boards. We recommend that our customers purchase PVC boards rather than hardwood as PVC has increased durability and requires less maintenance. The replacement and installation stages for fascia and soffit panels is detailed below:
- Strip the current fascia and soffit boards, including guttering.
- Remove the first row of shingles, tiles, or other roof covering.
- Survey the existing roofing membrane to ensure it is fit for purpose.
- Inspect the timber frames and complete any repair work where necessary.
- Install new fascia and soffit panels, either hardwood or PVC, and install ventilation system.
- Fit new gutters and downpipes where required.

JTB Roofers in Nottingham - How our Roofing Work is Done
When it comes to the basics of roofing, our roofers in Nottingham know a thing or two! We have worked on many roofs over many decades meaning we have expertise in all areas of roofing.
At JTB Roofing Nottingham, we always follow a logical process when replacing a roof. This will begin with an initial assessment of the property, arranging of material orders and delivery, site scaffold setup, transportation of materials to height, removal of the old roof covering and replacement of the new roof. Once the necessary access arrangements are in place and materials have arrived on site, the process to replace the roof covering can be carried out in a matter of days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Roofers Nottingham will make sure to keep your property watertight during the roof renewal and this involves keeping a check on the weather conditions. If poor weather is forecast, we will liaise with you to make sure that a suitable schedule for the works is rearranged.
Our Roofing Nottingham team always make sure to work quickly and safely when carrying out roofing works. If the work is quick in nature such as a small-scale repair, then a ladder may be perfectly acceptable, however we advise all our customers against doing any roofing repairs on their own. Longer duration roofing works will require the use of scaffolds and other specialist working from height equipment. Depending on the configuration of your property, more detailed and advanced working at height solutions may be necessary.
If a full roof replacement is necessary, then our roofers Nottingham will make sure that the roof structure itself can accept the weight of the new roof covering. If there are structural issues with your property, these should be rectified prior to replacing the roof. Our expert Nottingham roofers will help to identify any cause for concern with your property that will affect the roofing works.
Roofing does not need to be a stressful drawn-out process. Our Roofing Nottingham team will make the process stress free, keeping you informed all the way. We will make sure our roofing programme aligns with your overall project delivery timescales and you can trust roofing Nottingham to get the job right first time!
Flat vs Pitched Roofs
At JTB Roofing Nottingham, we undertake full roof replacements and repairs on both flat and pitched roofs, however we get many people asking which type of roof is best for longevity and performance. When considering whether to add a flat or a pitched roof to your property, our roofers in Nottingham recommend that you take the following points into consideration:
Pitched Roofs
Pitched roofs are more traditionally used on properties within the UK, so a roof of this shape is more likely to be in keeping with the character of surrounding properties and therefore be more likely to please the planning department dealing with roofing Nottingham.
Pitched roofs tend to last longer than flat roofs, due to the inherent durability of the materials used and due to the fact that there is less opportunity for water to sit and pool on them as is the case with flat roofs. This pooling effect can begin to cause leaks as the flat roof membrane wears down over time. Pitched roofs allow for greater utilisation of space as rooms can be fitted in the roof space, or the loft can be used for additional storage. This advantage is not present with flat roofs. Greater amounts of insulation can be added to pitched roofs, due to the additional loft space. Generally, a minimum 300mm of loft insulation is deemed acceptable under building regulations, however, adding this level of insulation to a flat roof will affect the height of the finished roof.
Flat Roofs
At JTB Roofers Nottingham, we do get many homeowners, who wish to add a flat roof extension to their property and there are some benefits to this.
Flat roofs are cheaper and easier to install than pitched roofs and can easily incorporate roof lights. In addition, modern flat roofing membranes such as single ply, PVC and rubber have a contemporary appearance and also improve the lifespan of flat roofs as opposed to traditional felts. On single storey buildings such as bungalows, flat roof extensions may be your only option and flat roofs can really be useful where a pitched roof would adversely affect the neighbour’s property.
It is important to consider the positives and negatives of either a flat or pitched roof depending on your individual circumstance and there will be times where one has a clear advantage over the other. If you are still unsure about which roof will be best for your property, give the roofing Nottingham team a call and our experienced roofers in Nottingham will be able to offer bespoke advice and affordable solutions for your particular property. Whether it is a flat or a pitched roof, our skilled roofers in Nottingham can take care of all your roofing needs!
JTB Roofers in Nottingham - Roofing Terminology
At JTB Roofing Nottingham we like to keep our customers abreast of general roofing practices and terms. Clients that have a basic knowledge of roof-related terms can make more informed decisions and are less likely to pay over the odds for any work. Below is a list of roofing terminology that we believe will be useful for our clients.
Pitched Roofs – This type of roof has a pitch greater than 10 degrees. The majority of buildings in the UK have roofs that are pitched. This category of roof is usually covered with shingles or tiles.
Flat Roofs – This type of roof has a pitch of less than 10 degrees. Flat roofs are usually fitted on high-rise blocks and commercial properties. Flat roofs are normally covered in a proprietary roofing sheath like single ply.
Hip Roofs – This type of roof has all sides sloping down towards the walls.
Roof Valley – A roof valley is formed when two slopes meet to create a v shape. Valleys are normally lined with lead or metal flashing to keep them watertight.
Roof Ridge – The ridge of a roof is the peak point, where the two sloping sides meet to form an inverted v shape.
Gable Roof – This is a classic roof shape. Two sides slope downwards toward the walls and form a triangular shape from the central ridge.
Roof Verge – Roof verges are the outer edges of your gable roof. Wet verges are usually sealed with mortar. Dry verges have plastic capping.
Single Ply Membrane – This is a type or roof covering made from a synthetic polymer membrane. The roof covering helps to make your roof watertight and is increasingly common on flat roofs.
Fascias and Soffits – Fascias and soffits form the outer covering at the base of the roof. A soffit board sits underneath the eaves. A fascia board runs parallel to the outer edge. Fasica and soffit panels increase ventilation to your roofing system.
Rafters – Rafters are normally made from timber and create the structural framework of a roof.
Tile Battens – Wooden tile battens are used to secure the roofing membrane. Roof tiles or shingles are attached to the battens.
Roofing Underlay – The underlay is a breathable sheath that covers the rafters and increases the roof's waterproofness.
Guttering – Guttering is usually fixed to the fascias. The purpose of guttering is to transport the rainwater away from the roof. Guttering can be made of PVC, timber, aluminium or cast iron
Can I negotiate a cheaper house price if it needs a new roof?
One of the most common services that we get requested at JTB Roofers Nottingham, is to provide a roof survey and quote based on the results of the home buyers survey. There is a good reason that the roof condition is discussed within the home buyers report and that is because the presence of a defective roof can greatly influence the market value and desirability of your property. Our roof surveys can be used as evidence to detail whether you should invest in a property or not and they can also be used as leverage to try and negotiate a better deal with the vendor. If the property is likely to require significant repairs, or a full roof replacement within the next 5 years, then we highly recommend that you attempt to have this value deducted from the asking price, whilst considering any forecasted rise in inflation. For more details on the value of a good roof, we recommend checking out our blog post on whether a new roof is a good investment.
At JTB Roofers Nottingham, our detailed roof surveys and quotations are an excellent way for you to save money on your house purchase and we will even offer you money back on any future roofing services if you choose to have the quoted work carried out by us. Call today for a quote on your homebuyer’s survey and save yourself money and stress in the future.
JTB Roofers Nottingham - Frequently Asked Questions
As well as being an excellent roofing company in Nottingham, we also aim to be a valuable resource for any customers looking for general roofing advice and guidance. Below, you will find some questions that we have been asked over the years and we continually update these, so please check out our homepage at roofers Nottingham regularly for new answers to your questions!
Why Roofing is Important?
JTB Roofing Nottingham understand a roof has an important function, to prevent water ingress and to ensure your building is energy efficient. Additionally, when installed correctly, a roof can provide your property with an aesthetically pleasing look, giving added “kerb appeal”. Roofs ultimately “connect” your outer walls together, allowing a rigid, tough and anchored structure to be created. There are a variety of finishes and materials that can be utilised when building a roof. It is essential that you choose the correct materials for the weather conditions that your roof will face and to provide the finish you desire. A specialist roofing team, like JTB Roofers Nottingham, will be able to advise on the correct materials for the function and finish to your building’s roof. A roof has to be tough and durable as some can be exposed to strong winds, loading and battering from elements. The absence of a stable and effective roof, will leave your home vulnerable to the elements, potentially leading to a number of problems in the future. Contact a member of our Roofing Nottingham team today for further details on our solutions and your free quote.
When do roofs need to be replaced?
When installed correctly, the longevity of a new roof can be approximately 100 years. JTB Roofers Nottingham do advise our clients that for flat felt roofs this can be significantly reduced. As you would expect, roofs that have to withstand harsher climates, will generally need repairing and replacing more regularly than roofs that are not as exposed. Our roofers in Nottingham advise that you routinely inspect your roof for signals of wear and tear. This is particularly true around areas of flashing, guttering, ridges and the fascia and soffit boards. Survey your building for any loose tiles or shingles, excessive growth of moss and leaks in your internal roof space. If you find that you are frequently having to have your roof repaired or recognising an excessive amount of leaks than if might be the right time to call in a professional roofing Nottingham team, like B&S Roofing Nottingham, for a replacement roof. JTB Roofers in Nottingham will be able to inspect your roof and its related components to determine the size of any repairs needed and will be able to provide an honest evaluation of your roof’s remaining longevity.
Can roofs be replaced in the winter?
Customers regularly ask JTB Roofers Nottingham if their roofs can be replaced during the Winter months. To answer this question, it is important to distinguish between a roof repair and a roof replacement. Repairs to roofs can be completed in the Summer or Winter without any hinderance. As matter of fact our Roofers in Nottingham recommend dealing promptly with any minor roofing repairs before they become major defects. For instance, modest roof leaks have the potential to develop into major ones during the Winter. Possibly having disastrous consequences. Roofing Nottingham have successfully undertaken numerous roofing work during the Autumn and Winter.
In terms of the construction of new roofs and replacement roofs, the decision to undertake the project is dependent on the category of roof. For example, flat roofs that use adhesive cannot be fitted when the temperature drops below a certain point. Although, those that are installed mechanically or using a blow torch can be completed in the Autumn and Winter.
When looking at pitched roofs, JTB Roofing Nottingham advise that tile or shingle replacement is not completed when the temperature drops too low. During periods of cold weather, the shingles can easily crack under the exertion of pressure when being fitted. However, tiles and other finished roofing materials are okay to install no matter the weather. Our roofers in Nottingham can complete roof replacement projects during the Autumn and Winter depending on the material constitution and type of roof. For further details and your free quote please contact JTB Roofers Nottingham today.
What is the purpose of roof flashing?
JTB Roofers Nottingham advise our clients that flashing should be installed across all joints on a roof. Features on roofs such as valleys, dormer windows, vents, chimneys, skylights etc. when installed correctly should be sealed with roof flashing. Roof flashing was traditionally made form lead because it was malleable without splitting. However, due to health and safety concerns regarding lead contamination, metal sheet coated with zinc is not a common substitute. When flashing is fitted correctly and is in an adequate state it ensures your roof is watertight. The absence of any flashing would mean water would find its ways between the joints leading to water ingress. To make sure all joints are watertight, our roofers in Nottingham advise having your flashing installed by a professional, like B&S Roofing Nottingham, is paramount. Flashing that is poorly fitted will lead to water finding its way inside your property, causing internal damp and potentially significant structural damage, such as a collapsed ceiling. For specialist roofing advice and your free quote, please contact our JTB Roofing Nottingham today.
Why are gutters important
Here at JTB Roofers Nottingham, our experience has shown us that gutter systems are a part of a building that are routinely overlooked. Gutters and downpipes are critical in protecting your property from water invasion and therefore help to maintain its excellent state. The failure of your gutter system can leave your building vulnerable to pricey and serious structural and foundational issues.
The primary function of your gutter system is to guide rainwater, that has landed on your roof, away from the building and structural foundations. When fitted correctly, the gutter system should allow the water to make its way to the central drainage network. Guttering also provides an aesthetically pleasing look to the base of your roof. Our expert roofers in Nottingham, always remind our customers that gutters and downpipes should be maintained to protect the health of a building. Rainwater that is allowed to fall and pool around a building could lead to water ingress. Furthermore, pooling water over a period of time, could seep into the structural foundations causing rising damp and instability. Stagnant rainwater on the roof can also raise the probability of a roof leak.
JTB Roofing Nottingham recommend routine inspection of your property’s gutters and downpipes to ensure they are fit for purpose. This means they are fitted correctly to their brackets and free from leaks, clogs and any defects. Gutter systems that are sagging, overflowing or incorrectly attached to the building should be dealt with in a prompt manner.

Which roofing sheet is best?
JTB Roofers Nottingham understand that roofing sheet is typically used on steel portal frame commercial buildings such as warehouses, factories, gyms and schools. Metal is a common choice of roof sheet and is excellent for the following reasons: it provides resistance to inclement weather, provides thermal efficiency, provides structural loading benefits, reduces the spread of flame, provides natural daylight, has a high strength to weight ratio and is an extremely durable material.
Suitable metal sheets include hot-dip galvanized corrugated metal sheets and aluminium profiled sheets. It is important that metal sheets are galvanised or contain an anti-corrosive coating to protect against rusting. Profiled sheet, are also available in fibrous cement material, however, the weight of these sheets may outweigh an additional benefit when compared to metal sheets.

Can moss cause roof leaks?
JTB Roofers Nottingham advise our clients that moss growth if left untreated can make its ways between and underneath roof coverings including shingles and tiles. Over a period, this can accelerate the wear and tear of your roof which can eventually lead to significant issues, such as water leaking internally and damaged shingles and tiles. In addition, as the moss covering grows larger and thicker it can displace your roof shingles and tiles. This can have health and safety implications. Our roofers in Nottingham have witnessed roof coverings being blown off during periods of strong wind. You should also be aware that substantial areas of moss growth can entrap silt, dirt, debris and water, increasing the potential for roof leaks.
To prevent significant moss growth, our Roofing Nottingham team advise routine roof care and maintenance by a local professional team like B&S Roofing Nottingham. Here at Roofers Nottingham we provide a cleaning service. This includes a full inspection and clean of your roof. In addition, our experts can also apply a formula to discourage the growth of moss. A full roof clean will also ensure any dirt, debris and silt are fully removed. A final recommendation is to maintain the growth of trees and large bushes in the area. The growth of moss accelerates in a cool and shaded climate. For further details on our roof related services please

Is a leaking roof dangerous?
JTB Roofers Nottingham advise our clients that leaking roofs can lead to significant damage to your property if they are not repaired in a short time. Indeed, a leaking roof should be viewed as a high priority. Insufficient routine maintenance, damage caused by adverse weather conditions and roof insulation that is defective are popular causes of leaking roofs. Our roofers in Nottingham recommend to deal with even the modest of leaks as promptly as possible. Constant internal water invasion has the potential to find its way to the structural foundations of a building leading to pricey and time consuming damage.
Additional points to consider, water ingress has the potential to make internal roof insulation ineffective. If this occurs, your energy bills will, almost certainly, increase. Damp areas inside your building can also lead to the growth of mould and mildew. Occupants that suffer from asthma or sinus troubles should be particularly aware of these implications.
Finally, leaks in a roof can be the source of damage to your internal roof space, such as defects to your attic, ceiling or loft. Indeed, JTB Roofers Nottingham have visited clients properties where internal water invasion has caused damage to plaster and paint on ceilings, walls aand also the electrical wiring. Our JTB Roofing Nottingham team recommend dealing with a damaged roof as promptly as possible.

Why do roofs leak?
At JTB Roofers Nottingham, we get a lot of customers questioning why their roof has leaked, and in all honesty, it can sometimes be very difficult for even the most experienced roofers in Nottingham to find the cause of leaks. Many different factors can lead to a roof leak, and sometimes, what you think is a roof leak, may be an entirely different problem. That said, the most common underlying causes we find behind roof leaks are as follows:
Chimney stacks – if your property has a chimney, chances are you may have experienced some leaks. Chimneys are often the highest and most exposed part of a roof, so they take a beating. Cracked mortar, damaged flashings and structural damage can all cause leaks around the chimney
Age – as with all building elements, roofs have a natural lifecycle. Roofers Nottingham advise building owners that typically roof materials will have a lifespan in the range of 15-50 years depending on the material and level of exposure of the roof, although even the most durable of roof materials will break down of the years. When this happens, leaks can start to become apparent and regular. If this is the case, then it may start to become uneconomical to have multiple repairs to your roof. In this situation, our roofers in Nottingham advise the best option will be to have full roof replacement.
Damaged Tiles - JTB Roofers in Nottingham understand that roof tiles that are broken or have moved out of their original position can be a serious cause of roof leaks. The roof tiles act as the first line of defence against water penetration, so if these are damaged or even poorly fitted, then they will not do an effective job at keeping water out. Water that gets past your tiles, will inevitably begin to damage roof timbers and internal linings. If your roof has an underlay, then this will offer some secondary defence against the water penetration, however over time, this will not suffice as a barrier to water. In addition, some older properties do not have an underlay, in which case there is no secondary protection against leaks. The best way to spot damaged tiles is to regularly check your roof from the ground for obvious signs of wear and tear. If a tile has broken, chipped, or slipped, you may notice evidence of this on the ground around the property. At Roofers Nottingham, we carry out repairs to broken or missing roof tiles, so if you are concerned about this, give us a call and we will be able to help.
Lack of Ventilation -
ventilation of loft spaces is extremely important to ensure that roof spaces do not become saturated with condensation and are able to regularly dry out. Condensation can form in your loft space due to warm air rising from the property below and condensing on cold surfaces in the loft. Over time, this can cause rot and decay to structural roof timbers. If there is inadequate cross flow of air in your roof, then you can get a real problem. Roofs should allow a clear flow of air from one side to the other, through the soffit and the ridge tiles. Where ventilation is not possible at the soffit, vented tiles can be used to allow air to freely ventilate the roof and prevent moisture problems. Our roofers in Nottingham are experts at getting your roof install right the first time, so you won’t have to worry about these issues ever again.
What is chimney pointing?
JTB Roofers Nottingham recommend that building owners routinely have their chimneys inspected and maintained. From experience, the seal created by the mortar in the brickwork can become damaged, particularly when exposed to continual challenging weather conditions. The actual brick makeup of a chimney can last approximately 100 years, however, the mortar which creates the seal has a significantly shorter lifespan. In some situations, this can be as little as 25 years if continually exposed to challenging weather conditions and extreme amounts of rain.
If you find that your chimney requires mortar maintenance, our Roofing Nottingham team advise a course of repointing or tuckpointing. This is a cost saving solution that will benefit the longevity of your chimney. Without the proper chimney maintenance, your chimney could be vulnerable to collapsing in a worst-case scenario. Costing you future time and money.
The purpose of chimney repointing is removing the existing mortar and replacing with a new seal between the brickwork. There are a number of advantages to this repair work which have been outlined below:
- The degradation of the existing mortar is halted.
- You can take confidence that your chimney construct will remain in good condition.
- Replacement mortar works will make sure that water does not seep into your chimney stack. Possibly leading to internal damage to your building structure.
- Mortar replacement is a more cost saving repair than a complete chimney rebuild
- With correct maintenance the full potential value of your property will be realised.

Can I Jet Wash a Roof?
Here at JTB Roofers Nottingham, our recommendation is for building owners to have their roof coverings regularly cleaned and maintained. This process is important to make sure your roof continues to be in a satisfactory condition and protect your property form the external elements. Over a period, silt, moss, dirt and other obstructions can build up on your roof covering. Moss in particular can be troublesome because it holds on to moisture, which adds extra weight to a roof construction. In addition, it increases the potential for water ingress and prevents water from completely draining from a roof. Any leaks, into your internal roof space can lead to substantial damage such as decay to the wooden rafters, mould growth and damage to the décor. A common problem we encounter at JTB Roofers in Nottingham, is silt and moss getting caught between joints and seams. This increases the potential for rainwater leaking into your property.
Manufacturers of roof coverings recommend you refrain from cleaning tiles, shingles etc. with a jet or pressure washer. This is due to the fact the process lowers the protection on the coverings. The finish on tiles and shingles has been constructed to wear over a prolonged time. However, the pressure of the water from the jet wash can accelerate the removal of this protection, shortening the longevity of your roof. Our Roofing Nottingham team also advise that using a pressure washer also raises the potential for leaks, if water seeps beneath the roof tiles or between the joints.
Here at JTB Roofers Nottingham, we advise building owners to scrape the tiles or shingles with a rough bristled brush. Completing this process on a dry day is advantageous as the silt, dirt, moss etc will remove more easily than on a wet day. An anti-weed solution can also be applied to discourage the growth of vegetation on the roof in the future. Our Roofing Nottingham team also advise that you contact your local roof specialists for this course of action. Please refrain from climbing on your own roof due to health and safety. To provide you with peace of mind and to make sure your roof remains in great condition, we recommend routine maintenance and cleaning.

What does roof ventilation do?
JTB Roofers Nottingham advise all building owners to have ventilation systems fitted into their roofs. Air circulation in your internal roof space is essential (e.g. loft, attic), to minimise the amount of moisture and condensation that occurs. . Air circulation in a roof also allows the temperature to be controlled in a property.
Our Roofing Nottingham team are frequently asked if ventilation to a roof is a mandatory requirement. Whilst this is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. Installing an air circulation system, will certainly increase your roof's longevity and help to limit any future issues. This is the reason why our roofers in Nottingham advise regular roof maintenance and correct air circulation to the internal roof space. Common energy efficient alterations include added cavity, floor and loft installation, new window glazing etc. Issues with rising damp also has the potential to increase moisture in your property.
If there are instances of visible condensation, especially during the Autumn and Winter, this could potentially signal that your roof does not have proper air circulation. JTB Roofers Nottingham advise all building owners to inspect their internal roof space for visible droplets of moisture (roof sweating) or areas of damp. This can lead to further issues such as mould and a musty smell.
Carrying out daily activities in your building e.g., cooking, having a shower or bath, cooking, drying clothes causes the formation of hot air. This naturally rises into your internal roof space, such as loft of attic. Without an air circulation system in your roof, the moisture will become trapped and turn into condensation. When this happens, your wooden rafters are vulnerable to decay. The internal roof insulation is also prone to becoming damp which means your property is less energy efficient. In the short-term, you may not recognise the impact of moisture and condensation on your building. However, the chronic formation of moisture and condensation will, almost certainly, cause lasting damage to your roof, structure and potentially the foundations of your building.

What is roof flashing repair?
Here at JTB Roofing Nottingham, we visit a large number of building owners whose roof related problems present themselves as torn or loose flashing. When this occurs it can cause roof leaks. Contemporary roof flashing is manufactured from metal and is fitted where there are joints such as dormer windows, skylights, chimneys etc. Our roofers in Nottingham install flashing to seal the joints and prevent water from seeping into your internal roof space.
Any slight rips or tear in the flashing can easily be repaired by JTB Roofers Nottingham. The material around the tear have been roughened and sealed over with strip of new flashing. This is usually attached with roofing mortar.
Significant and major repairs to flashing will usually require an entire replacement. Our Roofing Nottingham team have visited many customers where this is the case. In this situation a number of roof tiles will need to be removed as well as the existing roof flashing. Fresh flashing will then be fitted and sealed with special masonry caulk. This will ensure your roof is completely watertight.
If you find that your roof is leaking due to damaged flashing, this may have been caused by ice that has melted on your roof. When ice starts to melt it can force its way beneath the roof flashing and the sheath that covers your timber rafters. If your roof is leaking, the culprit could be torn or loose flashing. Our roofers in Nottingham advise building owners that flashing is needed where water tends to pool. Therefore, any damaged flashing can cause significant water invasion. This is the reason Roofers Nottingham recommend routine roof surveys and inspections to identify damaged flashing, loose roof tiles and shingles, damaged guttering etc. For free expert advice and your free competitive quote contact our Roofing Nottingham team today.
Are Roofs Covered Under the Party Wall Act?
At JTB Roofing Nottingham we stress the importance to our customers of making sure they get their roofing work carried out by a set of highly competent and qualified roofers in Nottingham. This is particularly important if your property is adjoined to one or more properties at either side. When your property is reroofed, chances are that some disturbance may occur to the adjoining owner’s property, and it will be your responsibility to ensure that any work on your neighbours side is put back in an equal manner to how it is prior to the roofing works. Roofers Nottingham recommends following the appropriate party wall procedure to formally advise your neighbours of your intention to undertake works. If they have any reason for concern, it can then be addressed whilst the notice has been served. Having a party wall notice helps to avoid costly court fees, so it can be beneficial for you to have this in place. At the very least, it is advisable to discuss your roofing plans with your neighbours and any concerns can be addressed at that point. At Roofers Nottingham, we have extensive experience of working on all different types of roofs, from detached properties to semi detached and terraced houses. We always work carefully and to a high standard, making sure we get things right first time. Contact our roofers in Nottingham to be sure to get your job done professionally and don’t deal with the stress and headache of poor workmanship or issues with the neighbours!
Why do roof tiles slip?
Roof tiles are the first defence your roof has against inclement weather. Our team for roofing Nottingham often gets called to properties where roof tiles have slipped and this can start to cause problems for your property, so this is something that you should get seen to as soon as you notice it. Our roofers in Nottingham are extremely experienced at dealing with slipped roof tiles and one of the most obvious causes why this occurs is because of poor weather. In windy conditions, tiles may be forced out of position, especially if they haven’t been fastened down correctly in the first instance. Recent changes to the British Standards mean that all tiles on a roof must be nailed down and this helps to reduce instances of slipped tiles. Another reason why tiles may slip is due to degradation of nail fixings. At Roofers Nottingham, we have come across many instances where nails have become rusted and damaged, meaning they no longer create a firm fixing into the wooden laths. If laths become wet and rotten, then the strength of fixing can become even worse, exacerbating the problem.
Slipped roof tiles create a weak spot in your roof where water can get in. Furthermore, if wind is able to get under the slipped tile, then further tiles may be moved out of position. To address any slipped tiles you may have, call our team for Roofing Nottingham to get the problem fully investigated and rectified so that you prevent further damage to your property.
Are roofs safe to walk on?
JTB Roofers Nottingham advise property owners to be cautious when assuming a roof is safe to walk on. Bearing your weight on a roof which has not been constructed to stand human impact carries health and safety risks and could lead to fatal accidents. Prior to placing your weight on any roof, you should evaluate the internal structure. Try to determine the material construct of your roof. Our roofers in Nottingham recommend conducting a full health and safety assessment to conclude whether the roof is safe to set foot on. If you are able, speak to an architect or professional roofers, like JTB Roofers Nottingham. Some buildings have designated pathways for you to walk. If you are undecided whether your roof is safe to walk on then it is best to call a professional roofing Nottingham company.

How do roofers charge?
When it comes to having any work done by teams of roofers in Nottingham, it is essential to have a grasp on the amount you should be looking to pay for your new roof. At JTB Roofers Nottingham, we pride ourselves on being one of the most competitively priced roofing Nottingham companies there are. When you have some roofing work that needs doing, roofers Nottingham will need to know the size of the roof, as this will impact material costs and labour. In addition, the scope of the work is crucial. If you are after a roof repair then this will be cheaper than having an entire roof replaced, but keep in mind that smaller jobs will cost more per hour of work carried out. The reason for this is due to time and scheduling. If our roofers in Nottingham are called to make a small repair, this will take time away from doing other larger jobs, so this needs to be factored into the cost. Your choice of roofing materials will also affect the cost of your roofing job. Not all roof tiles are priced the same, however if your spec requires a product with a larger cost, then this will be reflected in the price. Finally, we must also factor in the complexity and safety of the job at hand. If your roof requires a complex scaffold design, or the roof itself needs specialist work, then the price will naturally be higher. At Roofers Nottingham, we always aim to be competitive on price and upfront with our customers about the final amount to be paid. Any changes to the cost will be communicated at the earliest opportunity, so there are no nasty surprises!
Can roofers work in the rain?
A main priority at JTB Roofers Nottingham is the health and safety of our staff, customers and members of the public. Therefore, it is always important that we take in to account the weather conditions when attending to your roof. Our roofers in Nottingham regularly get asked if projects can be completed in the rain. In brief the answer is no! Although, it is not advised to undertake roof related work in the rain, you can have any repairs or roof replacements and constructions scheduled around any adverse weather. We consistently advise our customers that rain can present a serious danger of slips or falls to our Roofing Nottingham team. In addition, if our contractors were to remove your roof covering during bad weather, there is potential for rainwater to enter your building making the electrical wiring unsafe. Furthermore, if aspects of the property or roof were to become damp, such as wooden batons, drywall, paint etc., this can cause substantial defects to your property's structure. This is why we refrain from undertaking roof related work in the rain. Where bad weather take hold our roofers in Nottingham will reschedule the project for closest available dry day.

Should ridge tiles be pointed?
JTB Roofers Nottingham recognise that ridge tiles are purpose built to sit on the ridge at the apex of a roof. Ridge tiles can be of the same or contrasting colour to the shingles or tiles that have been installed. Popular ridge tiles include half-round and angular. Angular ridge tiles are usually fitted on slate roofs.
Ridge tiles are usually the last components to be fitted on a roof. Traditional methods of embedding ridge tiles is with a mortar mix. However, our roofers in Nottingham are also able to install "simple snap" or nail ridge tiles.
Prior to fitting ridge tiles, it is worth contemplating whether you tiles will incorporate a ventilation system. These are available in a number of styles and are usually laid every fourth or fifth tile along.
JTB Roofers Nottingham advise that if your roof design has different ridges meetings, as is the case of a hip roof, then the tiles may need to be adjusted so there is a uniform gap. This should be approximately 10mm which will allow for neat cement pointing between the joints.
Ridge tiles seal the ridges on roofs and should be installed so they overlap the shingles or tiles beneath ny a minimum of 75mm. When using the traditional mortar installation, a solid layer of mortar mix is applied between the joints of ridge tiles to bridge the gap and ensure they are securely fastened. This is also known as pointing.
Roofing Nottingham have highlighted 3 top tips for installing ridge tiles:
- Before applying the mortar, the top of the roof should be dampened. This especially useful in hotter climates as it prevents the mortar from drying too quickly.
- Damped the inner area of the ridge tile and also the edges to improve the bond between the mortar.
- When installing ridge tiles push them down firmly on the mortar bed. Use a trowel to remove any excess mortar around the edges and ensure the pointing between the joints is neat. Make sure nor to smear mortar on the tiles or shingles beneath.

Will I require a structural survey for my new roof?
When carrying out roofing work, it is important to remember that any new roof structure may significantly alter the load on the building. In turn, this can affect the structural movement of the building. Wind uplift forces should also be factored in to any new roof replacement, to ensure that the right type of design solution is adopted. If you are altering the finished covering of your roof, then we recommend consulting with one of our experienced roofers in Nottingham. We will be able to advise on whether a structural survey is required and the most appropriate type of material for your roof and location.
What is a green roof?
JTB Roofers Nottingham are noticing a growing interest in green roofs among residents in Nottingham and the surrounding areas. This trend is expected to continue as more people seek ways to make a positive impact on the environment. The National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) recognizes the role that green roofs play in fighting climate change, particularly in reducing rainwater run-off. Green roofs are also known as eco-roofs, living roofs, or vegetative roofs.
To provide a more detailed explanation, our roofers in Nottingham recognise that green roofs are roofing systems that are partially or entirely covered with vegetation and plants, installed over a drainage membrane and other layers. When properly installed, green roofs allow plants and vegetation to thrive without causing damage to the underlying roof structure.
There are two main types of green roofs: extensive and intensive:
Extensive green roofs - extensive green roofs are typically used for smaller domestic projects such as sheds, garages, and extensions. They require minimal maintenance and often consist of hardy grass, wildflowers, and low-maintenance plants.
Intensive green roofs - on the other hand, intensive green roofs support larger ecosystems and can include larger plants, trees, and bushes. This is why they are sometimes referred to as roof gardens. A layer of soil or medium is required to support the growth of these larger plants.
