New Slate Roof Installation in Newbury

R W Roofing Services Ltd completed this new slate roof installation in Newbury after the customer contacted us with concerns about expanding foam insulation that had been installed between the roof rafters.

The presence of the existing expanding foam meant the property was unable to proceed with sale until the foam issue and roof structure had been properly addressed. Following inspection, a full new roof installation was recommended to provide a suitable long-term solution.

Why the Customer Contacted R W Roofing Services

The customer contacted R W Roofing Services Ltd after concerns were raised about expanding foam insulation within the roof space.

The foam had been installed between the rafters, which created problems when the property was being prepared for sale. The customer needed the roof properly assessed and a suitable solution carried out so the property could move forward.


What We Found

Following inspection, it was clear that the existing roof required more than a minor repair. The expanding foam issue needed to be addressed properly, and the roof coverings and structure had to be considered as part of a long-term solution.

Because the property was located within a conservation area, the appearance of the new roof was especially important. The finished roof needed to provide modern performance while remaining sympathetic to the character of the original property.


The Work We Carried Out

Our team fully removed the existing roof and replaced it with a new roofing system designed to bring the property up to modern-day standards.

To preserve the appearance of the property, Grade 1 Spanish natural slates, were selected. These provided a high-quality, durable finish while maintaining a traditional look suitable for a conservation area.

The complete roof structure and roof coverings were upgraded as part of the installation, giving the property a modern, high-performance roof while keeping the character and appearance required for its setting.


The Finished Result

The completed roof gave the property a durable new slate covering with a traditional appearance appropriate for the conservation area.
