Why Should I have a Roof Replacement done?
Over time, roof tiles can lose their structural integrity, becoming brittle and ineffective. This is especially noticeable in terracotta tiles, which may flake and crumble over time – a condition often referred to as “tile cancer.” When your roof tiles reach this stage, a roof replacement is essential to maintain the integrity and safety of your home.
What is Involved in a Roof Replacement?
At Right Choice Roofing, every roof replacement starts with safety. We install a compliant safety handrail to protect workers and your property.
Step 1.
Safety handrails installation
Before we begin, we prioritise safety by installing compliant handrails around your roof. This ensures a secure environment for our team and your property.
Step 2.
Removal of tiles and battens
We carefully remove all existing roof tiles and battens, taking the roof back to its bare trusses. This provides a clean foundation for the replacement.
Step 3.
Re-battening with sarking
New battens are installed with precise spacing for your chosen Monier tiles, and sarking is applied if required to improve insulation and water resistance.
Step 4.
Loading and laying Monier tiles
Your new Monier tiles are loaded onto the roof and laid in your preferred alignment—whether staggered or straight—for a sleek, polished look.
Step 5.
Bedding and flexible pointing
Ridge caps, valley tiles, and gable tiles are secured with a sand-cement mix and reinforced with flexible pointing, ensuring long-lasting strength and durability.
