Full Structural Rebuild & Modern Roof Upgrade
We recently completed a full new roof installation in Ash Vale, Surrey, stripping the existing roof back to the original structural timbers to allow a complete rebuild and long-term upgrade.
This roofing project required significant structural correction before a new system could be installed, ensuring the property in Ash Vale now benefits from a straight, level, and fully compliant roofing structure built to modern standards.

Roof Stripped Back to Structural Timbers – Ash Vale Project
The works began with the complete removal of the existing roof covering. Once exposed, it became clear the roof structure required substantial correction and strengthening.
Our roofing team installed new structural timbers alongside retained sound sections, removed defective timbers, and introduced new firrings where required. The existing roof was sitting at multiple inconsistent levels, which had affected both its performance and overall alignment.
Bringing the structure back to a straight, properly aligned framework required careful measurement, structural planning, and skilled carpentry. The result was a stable and uniform roof plane ready for modern roofing materials.

Structural Levelling & Realignment
Due to uneven roof heights and inconsistent framework, extensive corrective work was carried out, including:
• Levelling the roof structure
• Realigning rafters and supporting timbers
• Installing firrings to achieve correct fall and pitch
• Ensuring structural integrity throughout
Correcting these issues ensures proper drainage and long-term durability — particularly important for properties in Ash Vale and the wider Surrey area, where consistent rainfall can expose weaknesses in poorly aligned roofs.

New Roofing System Installed
Once the framework was corrected, we installed a complete new roofing build-up including:
• New high-performance roofing felt
• New treated battens
• Breathable super quilt membrane for improved insulation and ventilation
This modern roof build-up improves thermal performance while maintaining proper airflow within the roof structure, helping to reduce condensation and future moisture issues.
⸻
Rooflight & Ventilation Upgrades
As part of this new roof installation in Ash Vale:
• Two old Velux roof windows were removed
• Two new Velux units were professionally installed
• The existing flue was removed and replaced with a new compliant system
These upgrades improved natural light, ventilation, and overall roofing performance while ensuring compliance with current building standards.
⸻
Dry Ridge, Dry Hip & Valley Installation
To complete the installation, we fitted:
• Dry ridge system throughout
• Dry hip system throughout
• A new valley system
Dry systems provide enhanced weather resistance, improved longevity, and significantly reduced maintenance compared to traditional mortar-based ridge systems — making them ideal for long-term performance in Surrey homes.
