Project Case Study
Re-roofing an Amersham home with the existing tiles retained
This residential re-roof in Amersham was carried out to renew the roof structure while keeping the original roof tiles, preserving the character of the property. The existing covering was carefully stripped, the underlying structure renewed, and the same tiles reinstated so the finished roof matches the appearance of the home.
New breathable felt and treated timber battens were installed across the roof, providing a modern underlay system beneath the reused tiles. Code 4 lead flashings were fitted to the key junctions and GRP valleys were installed to channel water away reliably, replacing the older details with long-lasting equivalents.
The existing ridge tiles were re-bedded onto new mortar to complete the roof, giving a neat, traditional finish to the ridge line. The work was carried out by our local roofing team for a property in Amersham.

What was used on this re-roof
A full re-roof is an opportunity to renew the roof as one weatherproof system. On this Amersham project, the existing tiles were in good enough condition to reuse, so the work focused on upgrading the layers beneath and finishing the junctions to a high standard.
- New breathable felt
- Treated timber battens
- Code 4 lead flashings
- GRP valleys
- Existing roof tiles reused
- Existing ridge tiles on new mortar
The Finished Result
A clean, durable finish in Amersham
The completed re-roof gives the Amersham property a refreshed appearance and dependable protection against the weather. The reused tiles sit neatly across the roof, while the new breathable felt and treated battens provide a modern underlay beneath them.
Code 4 lead flashings and GRP valleys finish the vulnerable junctions, and the existing ridge tiles have been re-bedded on new mortar for a traditional, weathertight ridge. The result is a coherent roofline that complements the existing building and gives the homeowner confidence in the condition of the roof above.
