Great question!

Repairs can be attractive at first due to the lower cost compared to a roof replacement, however they don’t always provide a long-term solution. The age and condition are the two main factors to consider when deciding which way to go.

When a roofing contractor is asked to repair an old or rusty roof, it’s very unlikely that any form of guarantee will be placed on the completed job. It’s this lack of guarantees that often sees a lot of the home owner’s money being spent in vain chasing leaks over repeated visits.

If the leaking roof is free of rust, then leaks are generally a result of poor workmanship during the original installation. It can just be a case of some flashings being resealed. It’s in this case that a simple repair makes sense and can be carried out with confidence.

Needless to say, replacing your roof is the sure-fire way to ensure your home is protected from the elements for decades to come. It’s a fixed price solution with low to no maintenance and in most cases will outlast you.

If you’re still unsure of what the best option for you is, DTM Metal Roofing can provide you with a complimentary, honest roof inspection where we provide clear expert advice based on the condition of your roof and your requirements.

The average residential roof replacement will typically be completed within 2-3 days.

We want to keep you safe and comfortable throughout the roof replacement process.

In most cases, you do not need to move out for the full project. However, depending on the scope of work, there may be short periods where we ask you to stay clear of certain areas while our team is working. This helps us complete the job safely and efficiently while keeping disruption to a minimum.

Before your project begins, our team will walk you through what to expect, including timing, access requirements, and any steps you may need to take on the day. That way, you know exactly what is happening and can plan around the work with confidence.

Our tradesmen will knock on your door and introduce themselves before starting work at 7am. Depending on the size of your project, they will generally finish around 4pm.

You can rest assured we monitor the weather and watch the radars very closely. Our roofing tradesmen take care in only removing sections of the roof at a time and re-roof as they go, ensuring we can quickly make your property watertight before we leave for the day.
