Answers to common questions about our Professional slate and tile roofing installations and repairs across St Austell.
Why Choose Cornwall and Plymouth Roofing?
Choosing a roofer is a big decision, and you need a local team you can trust. Because we focus exclusively on domestic roofing, we treat your home with the utmost respect. We never leave a mess behind and always keep the site safe for your family and pets.
We carry full Public Liability Insurance to give you total peace of mind while we work at height. Our pricing is completely transparent, with free written, no-obligation quotes provided upfront so you know exactly what you are paying for. With years of hands-on experience battling the local coastal climate, we know exactly what it takes to build a roof that lasts.
How do I know if my St Austell home needs a roof repair or a full replacement?
If you only have one or two cracked tiles from a recent storm, a simple repair is usually enough to stop water coming in. However, if the timber joists are sagging, or you constantly find damp patches in your loft after a heavy downpour, a complete replacement might be the most cost-effective option. We always offer honest, straightforward advice during our free inspection.
What is the difference between natural slate and concrete tiles?
Traditional slate is a natural stone that looks incredibly beautiful and easily lasts over a hundred years. It is the perfect choice for historic or premium homes across Cornwall. Concrete tiles are a more budget-friendly alternative that comes in a huge variety of colours and profiles. They offer brilliant durability and are widely used for modern pitched roofs.
Do I need planning permission to change my roofing materials?
In most cases, replacing a roof is considered permitted development and does not need planning permission. However, if you live in a St Austell conservation area or want to drastically change the height or material of the roof, you might need planning consent. We help you check with the local authority before any work starts.
How long does it take to install a new slate or tiled roof?
A standard domestic roof replacement normally takes between one and two weeks. This timeframe depends on the size of your property, the complexity of the pitch, and the great British weather. We work quickly and efficiently to keep your home exposed to the elements for the shortest time possible.
