Re-roofing in Älvsjö with concrete tiles

A classic concrete tile roof brings new peace of mind to a house in Älvsjö

The house in Älvsjö had a roof with cracked tiles and a waterproof layer that was no longer up to the job. During a roof inspection, we found that the roof had passed its technical lifespan, and that repairs would not be enough to keep the house dry in the long run. Together with the owners, we therefore decided to re-roof with new concrete tiles, a material that has proven its durability on Swedish homes for decades. In the photos, you can see how the work was carried out.

A new roof, layer by layer

Once the old roof had been removed, we inspected the roof trusses and roof boarding, and any damaged boards were replaced. New underlay was then rolled out across the entire roof as a protective waterproof layer. On top of this, new battens were nailed in place, and the new concrete tiles were laid on them in even rows. The flashings around the chimney, ridge and all roof penetrations were given just as much attention as the rest of the roof, as a roof is never more watertight than its weakest detail.

A roof to rely on for many years

The family in Älvsjö now has a roof that protects the house from wind and weather and gives it a well-kept, classic look. A new roof is also an investment that shows in the value of the house the day it’s time to sell. The owners have especially highlighted how clearly we communicated and how smoothly the project ran.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my roof needs replacing, or if a renovation is enough?

It is rarely possible to tell from the ground. Moss and the odd broken tile can usually be fixed, but if the underlay has become brittle or moisture has reached the roof boarding, a replacement is often the better long-term option. We’re happy to come out and assess your roof, and we’ll give you an honest answer about the most sensible way forward.

Can I get the ROT tax deduction when I hire you?

Yes, if you own the property and the work counts as repair, maintenance or renovation. This includes roof replacement, re-roofing and most repairs. The deduction applies to the labour cost and is deducted directly from the invoice. Housing associations (BRF), however, cannot use the ROT deduction for work on the association’s roof.

What warranty do you offer?

With a complete re-roofing, you receive a 30-year watertight roof warranty. For other types of work, the warranty is stated in the quote and the contract, so you know exactly what applies before the work begins. The manufacturers’ product warranties also apply to the materials we install.
