Look out for missing, cracked or curling roof tiles, persistent leaks, sagging areas, moss growth, or rising energy bills—these are signs your roof may need professional attention. If you spot several issues or your roof is over 25–30 years old, it may be more cost‑effective in the long run to replace it.
Slate, clay or concrete tiles and GRP fibreglass perform well here—a damp, changeable region. Fibreglass, in particular, offers seamless waterproofing and low maintenance—ideal for flat roofs and extensions.
We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year—ideally in spring or autumn—and after storms. Regular checks and gutter cleaning can prevent leaks, keep insulation effective and extend your roof’s lifespan.
Monarch Roofing handles everything from new slate/tiled roofs and felt or GRP systems, to roofline replacements, Velux window installations and emergency repairs—across both residential and commercial sectors, with full compliance and guarantees.
Using an NFRC CPS-approved contractor like Monarch Roofing gives you peace of mind that your roof refurbishment project is being carried out to the highest industry standards.
Where applicable, we can self-certify certain types of roof refurbishment work (such as slating, tiling, felt, GRP, and more) in line with building regulations, without the need to go through local authority building control. This applies when 50% or more of the roof is being replaced on a like-for-like basis.
For projects outside the scheme’s scope — such as new builds, structural changes, or less than 50% replacement — we’ll guide you through the correct process and liaise with building control where needed.
We also provide 10-year insurance-backed guarantees via QANW, offering additional protection for your investment.
Lifespans vary by material: built‑up felt and modified bitumen typically last 20–30 years, while GRP or other membranes can endure even longer with proper maintenance. Regular servicing can extend this life further.
