New roofs and roof replacement for Dumfries homes
Material choice should suit the property: natural slate is prominent in Dumfries's traditional built fabric, while concrete tiles are familiar on later housing and extensions may use flat systems.
The repair is specified for the actual roof rather than inferred from the property location alone.
- Match the existing roof where practical.
- Follow the complete rainwater route.
- Plan access before the work is agreed.
