Are you considering a new roof for your Aberdeen home?
If that is the case, you have arrived at the proper location. Each year in Aberdeen, we do between 30 and 40 new roof jobs. There are also plain tiles, natural slates, synthetic slates, and curved tiles. A new roof may increase the value of your home, give you peace of mind, and enhance its appearance. More pragmatic reasons for replacing your roof include avoiding future maintenance and corrective repairs, and having a fully guaranteed new roof to provide a worry-free retirement.
Prior to continuing, we’d like to state that we are proud members of the NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors), the UK’s top roofing regulating body. We had to meet stringent requirements in both our work and administrative/office divisions in order to be eligible for membership in this distinguished organisation. The NFRC conducts regular audits/tests of our work standards and business processes, which means that displaying the logo to your right demonstrates confidence, peace of mind, and professionalism.
If you want to create something really unique by designing and building your own new house, we can also supply high-quality roofing services tailored to your specific needs for new construction homes.
Thanks to our years of experience, Luke Lloyd Builders can advise you on the entire range of current roofing products available, suitable alternatives for replacing roofs on listed and heritage properties, and the best solution for your unique circumstances and requirements.
Luke Lloyd Builders is capable of reroofing a broad variety of structures, from conservatories, garages, and house additions to total roof replacements for both residential and commercial buildings.
We project manage the whole roofing process, including any associated joinery, roughcasting, and reinstatement work, so you don’t have to take time off to plan and coordinate additional trades, leaving you free to enjoy the protection and beauty of your new roof.
We cover areas such as Ballater, Braemar, Stonehaven, Peterhead, Inverurie, Huntly and Turriff.
Take a look at our new video to see what we’ve been working on lately.
If you’re considering replacing your home’s roof, the first step is to call us to arrange for an inspection and a free, no-obligation estimate. Our highly trained and experienced Aberdeen roofers will provide guidance and assistance in picking the finest new roof covering for your house. Consider the cost, neighbouring roof coverings, and the current capabilities of your timber roof structure (for example, putting a heavier covering on your roof will require some structural reinforcement).
A new roof on a normal family building will take around 6-9 working days to instal. As a result, scaffolding should be expected to remain on your property for around two weeks. We can supply scaffold alarms for those concerned about robbers or who live in heavily crowded areas.
Roof coverings are available at a variety of pricing points, ensuring that there is something to fit every budget or aesthetic choice.
Lead flashings are always included in new roofs, as are minor chimney repairs (pointing, etc. ), valley replacement, and ridge tile replacement (unless asked otherwise, for example, with ornamental ridges that you wish to keep).
Additionally, we provide a ‘tac-back’ service in which the current covering is inspected for quality and, if deemed satisfactory, is carefully removed and maintained. The felt and battens are replaced, as well as other standard re-roofing components, and the recovered covering is reinstalled with new nails. Following the removal of the slates or tiles, some material would be required to make up for the damage. This option is ideal for people on a restricted budget, those who value aesthetics, or those who operate in a conservation area where the cover must match the original design.
Nail rot is usually the cause of roof collapse. When reinstalling a tac-back, the nails are visibly renewed.
Porous coatings are another important cause of failure. The majority of roof coverings have an outer layer that is resistant to water intrusion. The exceptions include clay tiles and real slate, which are more costly due to their scarcity. The exterior layer of manufactured covers deteriorates and wears away with time, allowing water to penetrate the covering material. Frost damage, as well as normal water absorption damage, all contribute to material breaking.
You did an excellent job. I'm pleased with the quickness and quality. I would strongly suggest the service if you're needing a garage conversion.
Service that is really professional. I was really pleased with the quality of my flooring and the water damage repairs since the staff on site were fast and thorough. Exceptional communication throughout the entire process. I would certainly use this service again.
Last year, I had Luke Lloyd Builders undertake a variety of jobs for me, and I was always pleased with the results. This time, he did a fantastic job of repairing and repainting the water-damaged ceilings in the unit I'm about to sell. I'm hoping he'll build me a new kitchen next time! What a "Find!!
Had some assistance with the kitchen makeover; excellent work, on time and on a budget 🙂 and it looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to cooking in the new kitchen! Thank you, gentlemen.

Regardless of the sort of roof you have, our roof solutions are tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and budget. It’s reassuring to know that at Luke Lloyd Builders, we put a great emphasis on completing every part of the installation. First and foremost, it is of the greatest possible quality.

Please contact us if you’d like to speak with one of our friendly professionals about your roofing requirements. We will provide you with a free quote that details the work requirements as well as all associated costs. Our experts are always willing to assist in any manner they can. As a consequence, Luke Lloyd Builders will make certain that our services suit both your roofing needs and your personal goals.
Cost – The most costly tiles are plain tiles, followed by slates. The least costly tiles are profile tiles.
Tiles – Natural Slate, Synthetic Slate, Plain Tile (bottom left), or Profile Tile are the many types of cover available (below).
Look – Will a new cover make your home stand out too much from the crowd?
Locality – Choosing a local firm will unquestionably save you money. We have three offices and accomplish a large number of projects each year. We cover the whole of Aberdeen, including Newton Mearns, Shawlands, Govan, Parkhead and Bearsden.
Aesthetics – Are you renewing for aesthetic or utilitarian reasons?
Structure -Do you want to replace a lighter covering with a heavier one, which may necessitate some modest structural reinforcement? We are Competent Roofers Accredited, which means we may self-certify for jobs that are similar in nature (no building control necessary!). You will still receive a certificate of completion.
Insulation – The current required insulation depth by the municipality is 270mm (when possible).
Building Control – A completion certificate is required for a new roof. As members of the Competent Roofer Association, we are allowed to self-certify most projects… As a result, there are no additional expenditures associated with building control.
From start to end, your project will be given individual attention. By maintaining communication with you, the client, we ensure a smooth transition between processes and, most importantly, a successful project and a satisfied customer.
When it comes to quality and architecture, the consumer comes first. We take pleasure in using only the best for your project, including the best tools, building processes, and staff.
Here at Luke Lloyd Builders, we endeavour to guarantee that our firm meets the rules of industry and progress. To facilitate the comfort of our clients, our commitment to the quality of our work is demonstrated by our participation in numerous distinguished industry schemes and associations.
When you replace your roof, the work may be subject to a building code inspection. This requires paying a fee to the town for a building inspector to ‘certify’ the work and provide you a completion certificate. While this may seem like an inconvenient expenditure, the majority of people will agree that having the work examined by an objective, competent expert can only be a good thing. A few years ago, respectable firms such as ours were invited to apply to become members of the ‘Competent Roofer’ programme.
The system examined (and continues to evaluate) roofing businesses on a random basis for compliance with building codes and competence. Following passage, companies were able to self-certify roofing projects that did not need structural changes. This obviates the need for building rules and, more importantly, the accompanying expenses (which may total up to £400 for a new roof). You will continue to receive the same certificate upon completion of the project.
Building codes for new roof construction place a premium on structural capability and insulation. Insulation rules now require 270mm of rock wool insulation or 100mm of foam board insulation. These rates are subject to vary, however the majority of homes we re-roof require additional work. You may insulate your home on your own, but we will need to inspect the completed job before giving a completion certificate.
Excellent value for money
The majority of people would agree that a new roof adds value to a home and effectively pays for itself in terms of equity. It may be viewed as an investment rather than a direct cost, and the prevention of future roofing problems swings the balance in favour of value for money.
If you want to sell in the next few years, a new roof will increase the value of your house and almost likely increase the sale price by at least the cost of the new roof. You would have the essential documentation (completion certificate, guarantee, etc.) to present to your solicitor, and your home would be more energy efficient as a consequence of the minimum insulation requirements required when replacing your roof.
As a buyer, I’m sure you’d agree that having a new roof done by a reputable company with all of the necessary documentation is a significant bonus. It’s impossible to give an exact estimate for re-roofing your home, however a new roof on a terraced dwelling with a completely new covering for an up and over apex would start at around £5299+vat. This is obviously simply to give you a sense of the bracket you’re up against. Scaffolding is included, as is every other component of the new roof (materials, rubbish disposal etc).
Insurance-Backed Guarantees
We give standard guarantees on all new roof projects (and repairs), but for people seeking peace of mind in the case of a company’s bankruptcy or other comparable occurrences, an insurance-backed guarantee is a wise decision. Additionally, they outperform the previously described selling lures. Since 1984, our business has been in existence, and we have no intention of ceasing! However, we are no more immune than any other business to unfavourable circumstances. Additionally, you may conduct research on us, develop a personal relationship with us, and trust us to execute your project, but the person who acquires your house will have no knowledge of us. This is why it is suggested to use an insurance-backed guarantee. It will cost around £100 and may be arranged through our membership in the NFRC (the primary regulating organisation for roofers). It is, in our opinion, worthwhile to have!
Yes. A new roof is very costly, but it has several advantages. Normally, a new roof will take at least 20 years, and the materials used and the charges for the skilled operators who erected the roof are therefore worth the cost. If you want to instal an existing roof or have a new roof, we will inform you.
Wood sheet roof may endure for 10-30 years, asphalt shingle-composite roofs for 20 years on average and fibre cement shingles for around 25 years on a long-lasting basis. However, climatic circumstances, such as storms, grass and snow, can decrease the life expectancy of all roof types.
If your roof is lifted, coiled or unsound with two or more layers or a single one. In our experience, however, re-roofs are 20 to 40 percent less lifetime for new shingles.
Luke Lloyd Builders recognises the need to ensure that the correct styles and materials for your budget are in place. For this reason, we provide a wide selection of roofing options. We are always happy to provide support and free surveys to examine any needs or damage to the roof and provide professional advise on the roofing. We deliver a free quotation without commitment and professional advise before we start any roofing tasks. Our skilled professionals will complete your task within your budget and on schedule if you decide to deal with us. You will rely on where you live in Glasgow, the size of the roof you want and the type of structure with which we operate. Contact your phone for an estimate of your roofing project and arrange a visit.
A new roof unquestionably increases the value of your home. A new, guaranteed roof not only addresses roof issues, but also improves the look of your home. Considering this, you may view the purchase of a new roof as an investment in your most valuable asset. If a new roof costs ten thousand pounds but raises the value of your property by twelve thousand, you are effectively gaining two thousand pounds from the investment. Select a covering that will retain its appearance for a lengthy period of time, such as natural slate or the premium colour Redland 49s, to maximise the value of your investment.
A newly installed roof that is correctly installed looks beautiful and may dramatically improve the appeal of your home. Request cover samples from your contractor and seek help on how to incorporate them with the surrounding neighborhood's architecture and characteristics. A skilled contractor who enjoys his or her work will strive to make your project seem excellent. It's a fantastic addition to anyone's portfolio who possesses the ability.
Along with being a sound investment, a new roof fitted by a reputable supplier will include a warranty. The guarantee period varies according on the kind of cover, but it should never be less than 10 years for competent craftsmanship. Additionally, certain businesses may provide guarantees and completion certifications backed by insurance (meaning no need to involve the local council in building control). Ideally, you should work with one of these organisations, as the accreditation process is fairly thorough. Additionally, it evaluates the business's financial sustainability, guaranteeing that your contractor will not disappear if an issue arises. The NFRC and Competent Roofer both have more information on these accreditations.
As a result, you now possess an enticing, secure, and long-term investment. What is there not to like? Prospective purchasers will almost certainly be swayed in the right direction and will be more prepared to pay the asking price. Individuals strive to maintain their lives free of stress and little inconveniences. Your new roof investment takes care of the bulk of those issues in one fell swoop. On the other hand, if you're considering selling your home, a damaged roof may work against you. With roof studies becoming more common in home purchases, purchasers are informed before to closing that major maintenance would be required shortly thereafter. Following your customer's receipt of this information, it is quite common for the buyer to get roof replacement bids (based on the survey findings) and negotiate the purchase price with you, the vendor. This basically takes the ball out of your court, and when you contemplate the possibility of having a new installation and adding the cost to your offering price, it looks to be a backwards strategy in the long run.
Once the current (old) roof covering is removed, your contractor may easily install or supplement the insulation in your roof area. This can have a significant impact on your energy usage and heat retention in your home. We are all aware that heat rises, and if your loft area is losing heat, your heating system will have to work harder and for a longer period of time. This would result in higher energy expenses than necessary. In the UK, new roof construction must adhere to minimum insulation criteria. To obtain approval for the job, you would need to install the highest amount of insulation possible, according to the existing regulations. In summary, with each new roof replacement job, you will maximise your energy savings by installing loft insulation.

Aberdeen is a port city in northeast Scotland, at the confluence of the Dee and Don rivers. The city has an international population due to its offshore petroleum sector. It’s also known as the “Granite City” because of its many long-lasting grey-stone structures. The Marischal College, a 19th-century Victorian landmark that currently serves as the City Council’s offices, is typical.
