New Roofs & Re-Roofs in Ollerton
A new roof on a Ollerton home has to deal with sheltered to the east by Sherwood Forest but very open from the west, so leading-edge tiles on west-facing slopes take a beating, and the right specification matters as much as the workmanship. We've installed new roofs across an ex-mining town on the edge of Sherwood Forest with terraced ex-colliery housing in New Ollerton, an older village core at Old Ollerton and large modern estates pushing toward Boughton, and we tailor every quote to the property in front of us. From the breathable membrane up to the ridge, every detail is picked to suit the building, the street and the local climate in NG22.
