Is it for you?
Most people come to us for one of these.
The roof is often the trickiest part of an extension. We build it to your drawings and cover it too.
More head height and more light, with a dormer framed and roofed to match the house.
A dipping roofline or rot in the loft means rafters or joists need replacing before the roof is covered again.
Replacing a tired flat roof with a pitched one on an extension or garage, for a longer life and a better look.
Your options
Three ways to build a roof. We’ll recommend the right one for your drawings and budget.
Best for: Extensions, dormers and awkward shapes where every roof is different.
Rafters, hips and valleys measured and cut by hand on site, so the roof fits the building exactly.
Best for: Extensions, garages and dormers with a flat roof.
New joists and a solid deck, laid to the right fall and ready for a warm roof covering.
Best for: Longer spans, and roofs or floors that need to carry pipes and cables.
Engineered joists with timber flanges and a metal web. They span further than solid timber and leave room to run services through.
What you get
Built to your drawings, and ready for the covering.
When one firm builds the frame and another covers it, problems where the two meet end up being nobody’s fault. We can build the structure and fit the roof, so one team answers for all of it.
How it works
Four steps, and you know what’s happening at every one of them.
We visit, look at the drawings and the building, and talk through how the roof will go together.
An itemised price for the structure and the covering, so you can see the whole cost.
Timbers cut and fixed, braced and made weathertight, ready for inspection.
Your chosen roof covering fitted, the site cleared, and any paperwork handed over.
Our guarantee
Qualifying new roof systems come with a guarantee of up to 25 years on workmanship and materials, depending on the system. The exact length and terms for your job are written into your quote before you agree to anything. We only guarantee full new systems: a repair fixes one part of an older roof, so we tell you plainly what it will and won’t do.

Fitted new roof to conservatory
“Fantastic job. They quickly identified that the existing roof had an insufficient fall and not enough support beams to prevent the roof sagging and pooling. They proposed removing the existing roof and timber work replacing with new beams and a new felt roof. It looks great and we are very happy with the end result. They completed the work in one day and left the site tidy afterwards. Id have no hesitation in recommending”

FAQs
Usually, yes. A new roof on an extension or dormer normally needs building regulations approval and often planning permission, so there will be drawings and sometimes an engineer's calculations. District Roofing builds to those and can talk you through the process if you are at the early stages.
A roof whose rafters, hips and valleys are measured and cut on site rather than made in a factory as trusses. It suits extensions, dormers and roofs with hips, valleys or awkward angles.
Easi-Joist is an engineered joist with timber top and bottom flanges joined by a metal web. It spans further than solid timber and leaves open space to run pipes and cables through.
Yes. If rafters or joists have rotted or sagged, we replace or strengthen them before the roof is covered again, and show you what we have found before any extra work.
