| NEW ROOFS |
At Findley Roofing we understand that undergoing any new full roof project is one which takes careful thought and planning to achieve best results. It may be the biggest investment a homeowner may spend on their property to achieve a higher property value, and higher energy efficiency rating.
We are experts in working with a budget to get the best value for money spent on the roof, and achieve lower energy bills, higher property value, and more importantly peace of mind for the customer in knowing that all new roofing projects come with our FRB 10 year Warranty. The warranty may well be used in selling the property and can be transferable to any new homeowner.
We undergo many new roofing projects every year, from slate, artificial slate, clay, concrete, pan tiles, rosemary’s… the list goes on. Whatever the customer wants, we will provide. All new roofing projects undergo extensive stripping, new Tyvek or Marley breathable membranes, all new laths, and new tiling.
From 2007 we have now introduced new dry ridge systems to all of our roofing projects, which removes the old fashioned method of cementing ridge tiles to the roof which can crack and break easily. The new system offers customers complete peace of mind in knowing that the ridge tiles are able to flex and move with the expansion of the roof without risk of any breakages, and are instead fastened to the main roofing timbers via a full bracket system.
If you are considering a new roof, wherever possible, the company directors will view your property and provide you with a concise free quotation, and more importantly the advice needed to complete your project.
Please have a look at some of our case study’s of recent new roofing projects.
You will also get to see some of our teams at work, and what to expect from a new roof installation. |

| NEW ROOF CASE STUDIES |
CASE STUDY 1
Miss Robertson, Tynemouth
New Semi-detached roof installation.
Miss Robertson was suffering from an array of tiling problems due to this 1936 property suffering badly in high winds and storm seasons. Instead of spending money year on year on this older roof she opted to have a full new HIP Spec 2008 roof installed. This gave the following benefits:
Benefits
1.
Passes current HIP Inspection for roof security. (Useful if ever selling the property as your HIPS Pack done by estate agents will fly through and more often potential buyers will want to view properties with a clean bill of health.)
2. Energy efficiency. Felt membrane prevents heat loss from your loft space. Further Kingspan and other energy saving items may be installed. i.e. Solar paneling to heat water etc.
3. Zero maintenance. Tiling is interlocked with all of its neighbours on three sides to prevent any movement lifting, slipping. In fact, the roof is that secure it becomes difficult to remove tiles once a new roof is fully fitted.
4. Peace of mind. Knowing your roof is governed by a full 20 year warranty. Sandtoft, and Marley websites currently put a life expectancy of over 90-100 years on such a new roof.
5. Property value. On average a good solid roof structure adds around 8-14% more value to your property. A new roof however costs no where near that figure, thus your investment into a new roof adds value to your property.
6. Finished look and desirability. New roofs look significantly smarter and well balanced. With a wide range of coloured tiles available the homeowner can create that perfect look to match existing brickwork and surroundings.

CASE STUDY 2
Mr and Mrs Dryden, Tynemouth, Tyne & Wear
New Semi-detached roof installation.
Here Mr and Mrs Dryden suffered from an array of problems caused by their old and shabby looking concrete tiled roof causing leaks. Batons on the roof began to rot and break down causing tiles to slip and fall.
Areas of the roof had sustained damage from falling tiles.
Lead valleys were particularly affected and the final straw seemed to be a major leak into the ground floor kitchen caused by fallen tiles making incisions into the code 4 lead valley’s.
After inspecting our work on previous properties in Tynemouth, My & Mrs Dryden decided they wanted to rid themselves of the burden in maintaining this old roof and opted for a brand new modern, durable, more energy efficient, and stylish roof of which they could be proud.
With all the trimmings of a full DRY VERGE system, DRY RIDGE SYSTEM, new Toughened fibre glass VALLEYS and panoramic VELUX Windows, Findley Developments were able to create this ultra modern roofing system.
Mr & Mrs Dryden were absolutely astounded by the results, and very proud to have Findley Developments complete the work.
