Frequently Asked Questions – Fortress Roofing

How long does a roof replacement take?2025-11-10T15:55:02+00:00

This depends on the roof's size and complexity. Most domestic re-roofs in Chepstow take between 3–7 days. We'll always give you a clear timeline before starting work.

Do you work on both residential and commercial properties?2025-11-10T15:56:11+00:00

Yes. Our team has extensive experience working on everything from homes and apartment blocks to shops, offices, and industrial units.

How quickly can you attend a roofing emergency?2025-11-10T15:58:29+00:00

We prioritise emergency call-outs and aim to attend as soon as possible — often on the same day. Our first step is to make the property safe and watertight before organising a full repair.

Do you offer guarantees on your work?2025-11-10T15:31:40+00:00

Will you dispose of old roofing materials?2025-11-10T15:36:30+00:00

Yes. All old materials are safely removed and responsibly disposed of as part of our service. We leave your property clean and tidy once the job is complete.

Do you handle fascias, soffits, and guttering?2025-11-10T15:38:59+00:00

Yes, we offer complete roofline services. We install, repair, and replace fascias, soffits, and guttering to protect your home from water damage and enhance its kerb appeal.

Can you match replacement tiles or slates to my existing roof?2025-11-10T15:40:27+00:00

In most cases, yes. We source both new and reclaimed materials to ensure a close match in colour, size, and finish, helping maintain your property's original appearance.

Do flat roofs leak more than pitched roofs?2025-11-10T15:41:26+00:00

Not when installed and maintained properly. Modern flat roofing systems are highly durable, fully waterproof, and designed to perform just as well as pitched roofs.

Do you install and repair flat roofs?2025-11-10T15:46:57+00:00

Yes. We install, repair, and replace all types of flat roofs, including felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, and liquid roofing systems — ideal for extensions, garages, and commercial properties in Chepstow.

How long will a new roof last?2025-11-10T15:49:28+00:00

Lifespan varies depending on materials and installation quality. Slate roofs can last over 70 years, clay tiles 50–60 years, and concrete tiles around 40–50 years. Flat roofing systems typically last 20–40 years with proper care.

What types of roofing materials do you work with?2025-11-10T15:52:38+00:00

We work with a wide range of materials, including slate, clay tiles, concrete tiles, felt, single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber, and liquid-applied systems. We'll recommend the best material for your property, style, and budget.

Can you work on listed or heritage buildings in Chepstow?2025-11-10T14:31:41+00:00

Absolutely. We have extensive experience working on listed and period properties in and around Chepstow. Our team uses approved materials and traditional methods to preserve the building's character while ensuring long-lasting protection.

How can I tell if my roof needs repairs or a full replacement?2025-11-10T16:00:28+00:00

If you notice small issues like a few missing tiles, minor leaks, or damaged flashing, repairs are often sufficient. However, if your roof is old, leaking frequently, or showing widespread wear, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective solution. Our team will assess your roof and provide honest advice on the best option.
