Full Re-Roofs in Spittalfieldfor Homes and Bungalows
When a roof has reached the end of its life, Craig and the team carry out a full re-roof, start to finish.
Service overview
What Is Full Re-Roofs?
A full re-roof replaces the entire covering on a pitched roof, from strip-off through to the finished roof, including the valleys and lead work that go with it. Ericht Roofing carries out full re-roofs on houses and bungalows across Perthshire and Angus.
Who it's for
It's for homeowners whose roof has reached the end of its life: widespread slipped or broken slates, repeated leaks in different places, or a roof that has been patched so many times it no longer makes sense to keep repairing it.
When you need it
A re-roof is worth considering when repairs are needed every year, when many slates or tiles are failing at once, when you can see daylight in the loft, or when you are renovating and want the roof sorted for the long term.
Why professional help matters
A re-roof is one of the biggest jobs you'll have done on your home. Rita I. said she 'couldn't have picked a more professional and capable company to carry out the recent re-roofing of my bungalow'. You want a team that turns up every day, works hard and leaves the site tidy.
The cost of waiting
What Happens If It's Ignored
An old roof that is failing in several places will keep costing money until it is replaced. Each repair holds for a while, but the underlying cause, a roof covering at the end of its life, is still there.
Risks and damage
- Leaks appear in new places, damaging ceilings, insulation and loft contents.
- Roof timbers exposed to water over time can deteriorate.
- Slipped slates can fall, creating a hazard below.
- Annual repair bills mount up with nothing to show for them long-term.
Common mistakes
- Carrying on with piecemeal repairs on a roof that needs replacing.
- Choosing a roofer who can't explain what they'll do with valleys, flashings and lead.
- Not checking insurance before letting a team onto the roof.
- Going with a company where you never meet the person responsible for the job.

In detail
Full Re-Roofs: The Detail
House and bungalow re-roofs
Full re-roofs are carried out on houses and bungalows. Bungalow roofs can be large for the footprint of the home and often include hips and valleys, so experience with those details matters.
Valleys and lead as part of the job
Re-roofing isn't just the main slopes. Valleys, flashings and chimney lead work are where roofs often leak, so they are dealt with as part of the re-roof rather than left as an afterthought. Craig also carries out Level 1 lead welding.
Slate roofs
Many homes in Perthshire and Angus have slate roofs. Where a slate roof has reached the end of its life, replacement or reslating is carried out; see the slate roofing page for more detail.
Keeping the site tidy
A re-roof generates a lot of material. Customers have mentioned how tidy the team is, and that's a deliberate part of how every job is run.
Where we re-roof
Re-roofs are carried out across Perthshire and Angus, including Perth, Blairgowrie, Dundee, Pitlochry, Alyth, Coupar Angus and Aberfeldy.
Signs your roof needs replacing
Frequent slipped slates across different parts of the roof, repeated leaks in new places, daylight visible from the loft, sagging lines along the roof, and a history of annual repairs are all signs a roof is reaching the end of its life. On older homes the fixings holding the slates often fail across the whole roof at around the same time, which is why problems seem to multiply.
What a re-roof involves
The old covering is stripped, the roof is prepared for the new covering, and the new roof goes on along with the valleys, flashings and chimney lead that make it watertight at the joins. Doing all of this in one project means every part of the roof starts again from new rather than old details being left to fail later.
Bungalow re-roofs
Bungalows often have large roof areas relative to the size of the home, with hips, valleys and sometimes dormers. Rita I. had her bungalow re-roofed by the team and described them as professional and capable. Experience with these details makes the difference between a roof that looks right and one that performs.
Weather and scheduling
Re-roofing in Scotland means planning around the weather. Craig will talk to you about timing and keep you informed as the job progresses, and the roof is protected while work is under way.
Is a re-roof worth it?
A new roof ends the cost and disruption of ongoing repairs and protects everything underneath it. With guarantees of up to 15 years and a team customers describe as hard working and tidy, it's a long-term fix rather than another short-term patch.
What to expect from your free quote
When you get in touch, Craig arranges a time to come and look at the roof. He'll go up, look at the problem properly and take photos so you can see exactly what he's seen, which matters on a part of your home you can't easily check yourself. You'll then get a clear price for the work, with no pressure and no obligation to go ahead. If something can be repaired rather than replaced, he'll tell you. If the roof is beyond repair, he'll explain why.
Why a small, owner-led team makes a difference
Ericht Roofing is a small, hands-on team led by Craig. That means the person who quotes your job is the person responsible for doing it, and the person you phone if you have a question. There's no hand-off between a salesperson and a subcontractor you've never met. Customers pick up on this in their reviews: they describe Craig as honest, genuine, punctual and hard working, and many come back to him for further work.
Preparing for the work
Before work starts, Craig will talk you through what's happening and roughly how long it will take. It helps to clear access to the side of the house where the work is being done, move cars away from the driveway if materials need to be dropped there, and let neighbours know if access passes their property. Throughout the job the team keeps the site tidy, a point customers mention again and again.
