Tile roof replacement for a family home

A complete re-roof of a small brick family home in Sweden — stripped, rebuilt and re-tiled quickly without cutting corners, with new battens, underlay, ridge work and chimney flashings.

Brick family home in Sweden with a newly replaced dark concrete tile roof

The brief

The family was living in the house throughout, so the roof could not stay open overnight and the work had to be fast. The brief was a full-quality replacement — not a patch — delivered on a tight schedule, with the old tiles, battens and underlay removed and everything rebuilt in sequence.

How we built it

We planned the strip-and-rebuild in sections so the house was always weathertight by evening. Each slope was stripped, re-battened and re-felted before the new concrete tiles went on, with ridges re-bedded and chimney flashings renewed. Two chimneys, full gutter line and verge details were finished as part of the same visit — no return trips.

Outcome

A clean, even dark tile roof completed in two weeks with minimal disruption to the family, new flashings and ridge details throughout, and a written guarantee on the work — quick, but built to the same standard as our larger re-roofs.

  • They stripped the old roof and had the new tiles on before the autumn rain. Weekly photos meant we never once had to chase them. The finish around the chimneys is better than the original.
  • From the first site visit to handover it was the same person, and he answered the phone every time. The house was ready on the date written in the contract — I did not think that still happened.
  • The parquet they laid is the first thing every guest comments on. They protected the rest of the flat, worked cleanly, and the final invoice matched the quote to the euro.
  • Our sauna heats evenly, the benches are solid, and two winters later not a single board has moved. They explained every material choice before we paid for anything.
  • They built the terrace on ground screws without touching the garden, wired the lighting, and were gone in days. It has become the room we use most from May to September.
  • A seven-thousand square metre site cleared, graded and replanted around a working kindergarten, with zero disruption to the children. The most organised contractor we have hired.
