Repair the Existing Flat Roof
If one part of the roof is leaking and the rest is sound, a repair may solve the problem. We can discuss that before you commit to a bigger alteration.

Flat-to-Pitched Roof Conversions
Talk Through the Options Before Changing Your Roof
Changing a flat roof to a pitched one affects its shape, support, appearance and drainage. We start with the building and what you want to achieve. Before choosing tiles or slate, the design needs checking and any specialist input or approvals need to be clear.
What Matters Most
Is a Conversion Right for You?
Tell us about your roof, what's prompted you to get in touch and what you'd like to achieve. We can then talk through the work that may be needed.
1. Discuss Suitability With Us
Some garages, extensions and other buildings can take a pitched-roof conversion. The existing structure and proposed design need checking before you decide to go ahead.
2. Tell Us Why You Want to Change It
Are you replacing an ageing roof, trying to improve drainage or planning a wider renovation? Knowing your aim helps us discuss the options that make sense for your property.
3. We Discuss the Wider Changes Needed
The new shape will affect the roof edges, drainage and connections to the building. Any structural design or approvals need to be considered before the work is agreed.
4. Compare Repair and Replacement Options
Keeping a flat roof may still be the right choice. We can discuss repair, replacement and conversion, and explain what needs checking before we can quote.

Your Roof Conversion Questions
Answers to common questions about our work.
Have something else you'd like to ask? Tell us about your property and we'll talk it through with you.
Can Every Flat Roof Be Converted to a Pitched Roof?
No. The existing building needs to be suitable for the proposed roof and its supports. The design and any relevant requirements should be checked before you choose the covering or agree the work.
Will a Pitched Roof Automatically Solve a Leak?
The cause of the leak still needs checking. It may be a problem with the covering, a junction or the drainage that a repair or new flat roof could resolve. We can discuss those options alongside conversion.
Do I Need Planning Permission?
That depends on your property and the changes proposed. Confirm any planning requirements before commissioning the work, and check building-control requirements separately. A change to the roof's shape or appearance needs considering as part of that process.
Will Structural Design Be Needed?
It may be needed. A change in roof construction can affect how the building carries the load, so the required assessment and design need confirming. Structural calculations are included only if they've been expressly agreed as part of the quote.
Can a Garage or Extension Roof Be Considered?
Yes, we can discuss garage and extension roofs. Send us the existing layout, any drawings and the reason you'd like to change it. Suitability will need checking for your particular building.
What Covering Can the New Pitched Roof Have?
Slate or tiles may be suitable, depending on the pitch and construction of the new roof. Once the design is understood, we can discuss the covering and how the edges and junctions will be finished.
Is Keeping a Flat Roof a Reasonable Alternative?
Yes. A repair or replacement flat roof may suit the building and what you want to achieve. We can help you compare the work involved in each option before you decide.
What Should I Provide for an Initial Enquiry?
Send your postcode, any drawings and photos taken safely of the roof and surrounding building. Tell us what you'd like to change, how the space below is used, and about nearby windows or access restrictions.
