New roof installation →How to choose the right roofing type for a Richmond property
The best roofing types decision starts with the building, not a brochure. Pitch, structural capacity, neighbouring materials, planning sensitivity and budget all matter. Richmond Roofing Group surveys first, then recommends roof tiles, roof slates, felt roofing, GRP or EPDM with clear reasons.
Pitched roofs across Richmond upon Thames commonly use concrete tiles, clay tiles or natural slate. Flat roofs on extensions and garages more often use torch-on felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber. Mixing systems is normal — many homes combine a slate main roof with a felt or EPDM rear extension — and the junctions between those systems decide whether you stay dry.
Roofing types FAQ for Richmond homeowners
Which roofing type lasts longest? Natural slate and well-detailed EPDM or GRP can all deliver decades when installed correctly; lifespan depends on detailing as much as the product name. Is felt roofing outdated? Not when specified as a proper multi-layer torch-on system with correct falls — though GRP or EPDM may suit complex shapes better. Can you mix tiles on the main roof with a flat extension? Yes — most Richmond homes do — and the abutment detail is critical.
Do you match existing tiles and slates? We source the closest available profiles and explain any limits honestly before work starts. Will Peacock Insurance cover every roofing type? Cover applies on qualifying new installations where criteria are met; we confirm eligibility in writing. How do I choose between roof tiles and roof slates? Streetscape, pitch, budget and structural capacity guide the choice — our survey makes that practical rather than theoretical.
