New Roof Installations & Full Re-Roofs on the Wirral
A new roof, properly fitted, gives a Wirral property reliable protection against wind and rain, whether the old covering has worn out or you want a fresh installation.
Pitched roofs shed rainwater naturally and, when properly installed, provide long-lasting, reliable weatherproofing for your property.
Slate and tile new roofs and re-roofs are our everyday work, and each Wirral property gets its own assessment before we recommend the option that suits the roof, the budget and the look you want.
New Slate Roofs
A natural stone roofing material valued for its durability, character and traditional appearance – a common sight on older and period properties around the Wirral, and just as suited to a modern new-build installation.

New Roofs on the Wirral: Getting It Right on an Exposed Peninsula
Wirral properties range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas to inter-war semis, bungalows and modern estates, and because much of the peninsula is open and windy, the way a roof is fixed matters just as much as the slate or tile itself. Correct battens, fixings and ridge and verge details are what keep a new roof secure through the winter.
If your home is in a conservation area such as Port Sunlight or Hamilton Square, there may be extra requirements about roofing materials and appearance, so it is worth checking with Wirral Council before work starts. We are happy to talk through slate and tile options to suit your property.

Why Choose KJ for New Roofs on the Wirral?
Planning A Re-Roof On The Wirral
Many Wirral homes were built in the Victorian, Edwardian or inter-war periods, so a re-roof is often the moment to renew battens, felt and fixings along with the covering. Ask us to walk you through what is under your tiles before you decide.
New Roofs For Wirral Period Houses And Suburban Homes
A new roof on a Wirral property depends heavily on the house. Victorian terraces and larger period homes around Birkenhead and Wallasey have different needs from suburban semis in Bromborough and Moreton or detached homes and bungalows in Heswall, West Kirby and Hoylake.
Near the coast we pay attention to wind exposure, fixings and flashings, and in historic areas such as Hamilton Square and Port Sunlight, any work should take account of the building's character and any conservation requirements. We will explain the options and give you a written price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install new roofs on the Wirral?
Yes. We install new slate and tile roofs and carry out full re-roofs for properties on the Wirral.
What’s the guarantee on a new roof?
New roof installations and full re-roofs are covered by our 10-year workmanship guarantee. Roof repairs carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee, though very minor patch repairs may not carry a formal guarantee where the underlying roof structure is already compromised.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full re-roof?
It can be hard to tell from the ground. A single problem on a Wirral roof may be a simple repair, but where the covering has worn out or damage is spread across it, re-roofing may be the better choice. We will inspect it and be straight with you.
What’s the difference between slate and tile roofing?
Slate is a natural stone that lasts and looks traditional, while concrete and clay tiles offer different styles and price points. We will help you choose what suits your Wirral property and budget.
How long does a new roof take to install?
The timescale depends on roof size, pitch, materials and access, and on the Wirral we also allow for the weather. Your quote will include a realistic timeframe.
