Frequently Asked Questions About New Roof Construction(FAQs)
How long does a new roof construction take?
A typical pitched roof on a standard home takes 1–2 weeks to complete, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Larger or more intricate builds may take longer due to scaffold requirements and specialist detailing.
What is the lifespan of a new roof?
A well-built tiled or slate roof can last 50–100 years with proper maintenance. We use only premium materials and proven installation methods to maximise your roof’s durability.
Do you handle building regulations and planning permission?
Yes — we ensure all work meets UK Building Regulations and can liaise with local authorities on your behalf if approvals are needed. We offer streamlined commercial roofing services for our valued clients.
How much does a new roof cost in Reading?
Costs vary depending on roof type, materials, and design complexity. We provide detailed, itemised quotes after a site survey to give you complete transparency.
What roof pitch is best for new roof construction in Reading?
For pitched roofs in the UK, the optimal pitch depends on the roofing material and local weather exposure. Clay tiles generally require a minimum pitch of 35°, while interlocking concrete tiles can be installed as low as 15° with appropriate underlay. Slate roofs often perform best at 30° or more to aid water run-off. We calculate roof pitch using both manufacturer guidelines and BS 5534 standards to ensure long-term performance and compliance.

What Our Customers Say !
Julian and his CRS Roofing team rescued me following two disastrous roofing companies that had previously failed to properly diagnose and fix the problem. The team arrived on time and worked hard to complete a very good job. I would certainly use CRS Roofing for any future roofing work.
Tony
Julian and his team had to replace a flat roof that was disintegrating. They arrived on time, completed the job to an excellent standard and left the property clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.
Lisa
I needed a flat roof replacing & a chimney repointing and was recommended CRS by a friend. Their work was of good quality and the roofers were friendly and tidied up after themselves. I’m happy with the standard of work.
