What Liverpool Homeowners Should Know About Re-Roofing
Re-roofing is one of the most significant investments a homeowner can make. It protects your property from the elements, enhances its appearance, and increases its value. At Furber Roofing, we approach every re-roofing project with the highest standards of workmanship.
A typical re-roofing project begins with a thorough survey by our qualified assessors. They inspect the current roof, check timbers, battens, and coverings, and provide advice on materials. Whether you choose natural slates, man-made slates, or clay and concrete tiles, our goal is to ensure your roof is both durable and visually appealing for decades.

Step 1: Initial Survey and Advice
Every Liverpool roofing project begins with an on-site survey. Our surveyors assess:
- Slates, tiles, flashing, gutters, and chimney stacks
- Timber and batten condition
- Compliance with Building Regulations and British Standards
- Safety measures, including scaffolding requirements
We also provide samples of slates and tiles so you can see and feel the material before making a decision. By setting expectations early, homeowners fully understand the scope, timing, and cost of their project.
Step 2: Health, Safety, and Scaffolding
Most roofing work requires scaffolding under Health and Safety regulations. At Furber Roofing, we have in-house scaffolding teams available 7 days a week. This keeps projects on schedule and ensures safety for both our team and your family.
Our teams are fully trained and equipped, allowing us to handle complex or emergency roofing situations quickly.
Why Scaffolding Matters in Liverpool
Scaffolding protects your property, your family, and our team while giving us full access to carry out repairs or re-roofs efficiently.

Step 3: Roof Stripping and Preparation
Once scaffolding is in place, we carefully strip the old roof. For slate or tile roofs, this involves:
- Removing old slates or tiles
- Replacing timber battens
- Installing breathable roofing felt to protect your property
Existing slates in good condition can often be re-used, sorted, and pre-selected for quality to maintain a traditional look. For new slates or tiles, installation meets modern durability, waterproofing, and wind-resistance standards.
Step 4: Installation of Roof Coverings
Our team has extensive experience with slating and tiling, using a wide range of natural and manufactured materials.
Slate Options for Liverpool Homes
We source natural slates from across the UK and abroad, offering a variety of colours and finishes. For traditional or modern properties, our team advises on the best choice to suit your roof and style.
Tiling Options for Liverpool Properties
We work with all major manufacturers to provide clay or concrete tiles. With guidance from our experts, you can choose a tile that is both long-lasting and visually appealing.
During installation, we pay attention to:
- Hip and ridge tiles (often dry-fixed)
- Flashing and leadwork at valleys, parapets, and dormers
- Chimney stack and mortar work, including pointing, capping, and fitting pots or cowls
Example: Last month, we re-roofed a Liverpool property after storm damage, replacing 120 square metres of slate and completing the project in 10 days with scaffolding fully managed in-house.
Step 5: Storm Damage and Emergency Considerations
Liverpool’s weather can be unpredictable. Storm damage may lead to urgent roofing needs. Our dedicated emergency repair teams are available 7 days a week to respond quickly, making roofs safe and watertight to prevent further damage.
We handle everything from slipped slates to full-scale emergency replacements, working with major insurance companies to simplify the claims process. Temporary repairs allow your property to remain protected until full restoration can take place.
Step 6: Compliance, Guarantees, and Peace of Mind
Re-roofing in Liverpool requires compliance with Building Regulations and BS5534 standards for slating and tiling. Furber Roofing is a member of Competent Roofer, allowing us to self-certify all refurbishment work on domestic, commercial, and industrial properties.
