Full Roof Replacement With New Tiles, Felt, Battens & Leadwork | Aylesbury
Project Overview
Our team recently completed a full roof replacement in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, transforming the property with a completely renewed roofing system. The existing roof had deteriorated over time, with ageing tiles, outdated underlay, and failing leadwork that no longer offered reliable protection. A full replacement was the best solution to restore performance, improve insulation, and future-proof the home.
Before
The original roof showed clear signs of wear, including worn and uneven tiles, degraded felt, and lead flashing that had begun to fail around key areas such as the chimney. Insulation levels were poor, and the roof structure required careful inspection before new materials could be installed.
After
The completed roof now features brand-new tiles, breathable felt, treated timber battens, and professionally installed leadwork. The result is a clean, uniform roofline with excellent weather resistance, improved thermal efficiency, and a smart, traditional finish that enhances the overall appearance of the property.
Project Breakdown
1. Strip Out & Structural Inspection
All existing tiles, battens, felt, and defective leadwork were carefully removed. The roof structure was fully inspected to ensure it was sound and suitable for the new installation.
2. New Felt & Battens
A high-quality breathable membrane was installed to provide effective moisture control and ventilation. New treated timber battens were then fitted to create a strong, level fixing base for the tiles.
3. New Tile Installation
The roof was re-tiled using durable, high-quality tiles, laid in precise alignment to ensure a consistent and professional finish. The new tiles were chosen to suit the property’s style and surrounding homes.
4. Leadwork Renewal
All leadwork was replaced where required, including chimney flashing and abutments. The new lead was correctly dressed and secured to ensure long-term waterproofing and protection in vulnerable areas.
5. Final Checks & Clean Finish
Once installation was complete, the roof was thoroughly inspected to ensure every detail met our quality standards. The site was left clean and tidy, with a roof built to perform reliably for decades.
End Result
This full roof replacement has significantly improved the property’s weather protection, insulation, and visual appeal. With brand-new tiles, modern breathable felt, solid battens, and expertly installed leadwork, the roof now offers long-lasting performance and a crisp, traditional appearance that adds real value to the home.
