New Roofs in Reading
Reading's diverse housing stock means new roof installations vary considerably across the town. In the Victorian terraces of the inner suburbs it is typically a full strip-and-reslate job, replacing the breathable membrane and battens as well as the covering. On the post-war suburban housing to the east and west it is more often a concrete tile re-roof where the original felt underlayer has become brittle and is no longer performing. Legacy Roofing surveys and installs new roofs across Reading.
Properties on the Reading University estate in Earley and the residential streets of Palmer Park regularly come to us for full re-roofing — many of the inter-war semis in these areas have had a single overlay of concrete tile on top of the original slate, and that system is now at the end of its life.
