What to look for in the photos
The gallery is not just for appearance. It shows the process: old roof condition, membrane and batten work, slate or tile installation, dry ridge details, flat roof deck preparation, torch-on felt and finished rooflines. That matters because hidden preparation is often what decides how long a roof repair or replacement lasts.
Preparation
Look for breathable membrane, straight batten work, sound timber, clean roof edges and proper preparation before the visible finish goes on.
Detailing
Ridges, valleys, verges, leadwork, gutters and flat roof edges are the details that often decide whether a roof remains watertight.
Finished result
The finished work should look tidy, aligned and properly protected, with waste removed and the roof left safe and presentable.
