Re-Roofing & Roof Replacement in Bicester

When you choose Ox Roofing Ltd for your re-roofing project, whether in Bicester, Banbury or across Buckinghamshire, our professional team undertakes a thorough process. We don't just put new tiles on old problems. Our work typically includes:

1. Carefully stripping away the old roof covering.
2. A detailed inspection of the underlying roof structure, including rafters and battens.
3. Any necessary repairs to the timber structure to ensure it's sound.
4. Installing new, high-quality breathable underfelt or membrane and appropriate battens, all compliant with current UK Building Regulations (BS 5534).
5. Fitting your chosen new roofing material – be it slate, clay or concrete tiles, or a modern flat roofing system.
   As NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CPS) certified roofers, we can self-certify that all our re-roofing work meets these strict regulations, saving you time and money.

The time it takes to complete a re-roofing project can vary. Factors like the size and complexity of your roof, the type of materials being used, and even the unpredictable British weather can play a part. For an average-sized home in areas like Witney or Didcot, the work might take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. What we can promise is that our experienced team at Ox Roofing Ltd works efficiently and with great professionalism to minimise disruption. We’ll always provide you with a clear estimated timeframe before any work begins and keep you informed throughout the process.

We understand that having any major work done on your home or business can be a concern. A full re-roof is a significant undertaking, and there will naturally be some level of activity on site. However, the Ox Roofing Ltd team is committed to minimising disruption to your daily life. Our professionalism means we manage every site carefully, keeping things as tidy as possible and ensuring all waste materials are responsibly removed upon completion. We treat your property in Abingdon, Thame, or anywhere in our service area with the utmost respect throughout the re-roofing work.

Choosing the right company for your re-roofing project is vital. At Ox Roofing Ltd, we offer more than just a new roof; we provide peace of mind. Here’s why so many homeowners and businesses across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and even parts of Warwickshire and Berkshire trust us:

• NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CPS) Certified: We're certified under the only government-licenced scheme for roofing. This means we can self-certify that our re-roofing work meets UK Building Regulations (Approved Document L1B). This saves you the hassle and cost of a separate Building Control inspection, and you receive a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate directly from us.
• 10-Year Insurance Backed Guarantee (IBG): All our domestic re-roofing work comes with a 10-year IBG, part of our NFRC CPS accreditation. This protects your investment, even in the unlikely event our company ceases trading.
• SMAS Worksafe Accredited: For our commercial clients in places like Northampton or Leamington Spa, this demonstrates our commitment to the highest health and safety standards.

• Transparent & Honest Service: We provide detailed, clear quotations with no hidden surprises, just honest advice and quality workmanship using the best materials. Our experience and professionalism ensure a quality result every time.

Your investment in a new roof is substantial, and we believe it should be protected. As NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CPS) members, Ox Roofing Ltd provides a 10-Year Insurance Backed Guarantee (IBG) on all domestic re-roofing work. This isn't just our promise; it's an independent policy that offers you, the homeowner, complete peace of mind. It means that should our company unexpectedly cease trading during the guarantee period, your new roof is still covered. This is part of the trusted service we offer.

For most re-roofing projects, especially if you're replacing like-for-like materials (e.g., old tiles with new tiles) on your home in Carterton or Aylesbury, planning permission is generally not required. However, if your property is a listed building or located within a conservation area, different rules may apply, and it's always best to check with your local council.
Regarding Building Regulations, these absolutely do apply, particularly concerning thermal efficiency (Approved Document L1B) and structural safety. The good news is, as an NFRC CPS certified company, Ox Roofing Ltd can self-certify that your re-roofing work complies with all relevant Building Regulations. This means you won't need to arrange (or pay for) a separate inspection from your local council's Building Control department. We provide you with a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate directly, simplifying the entire process.
