Globe Roofing re-roofs and maintains occupied housing association homes, working directly and alongside the principal contractors who deliver regeneration and planned maintenance programmes. This is a growing part of our business, and one we are set up to deliver at volume, with the reliability and communication that working in lived in homes demands.
Re-roofing an occupied property is a different discipline to a new build plot. The home cannot simply be stripped and left, residents are living underneath the work, and the programme has to respect that. We plan the sequence carefully, keep properties weathertight as we go, keep sites tidy and considerate, and keep residents and the client informed. The result is a re-roof delivered to standard with the minimum of disruption to the people in the home.
We cover both planned and reactive work. Planned programmes let us schedule gangs efficiently across an area and give the client cost certainty across a batch of properties. Reactive repair and maintenance keeps stock watertight between programmes, handled quickly by teams who are already working in the area. In both cases the work is documented, so the client has a clear record of what was done and where.
Housing providers and principal contractors choose us because the work is compliant, the delivery is dependable, and we are easy to work with on a long running programme. As part of the Globe Group we can also bring scaffold and safety netting to the same scheme, coordinated under one group, which simplifies the supply chain on a regeneration contract.
Frequently asked questions
Can you re-roof homes that are occupied?
Yes. The majority of our regeneration work is on occupied properties. We plan the sequence to keep homes weathertight throughout, work considerately around residents, and keep both residents and the client informed as the programme moves.
Do you take on both planned and reactive work?
Both. We deliver planned re-roofing and maintenance programmes across batches of properties, and we handle reactive repairs that keep stock watertight in between, using teams already working in the area.
Do you work directly for housing associations or through principal contractors?
Both. We work directly with housing providers and as a roofing partner to the principal contractors who deliver their regeneration and maintenance programmes.
How do you keep a programme on track across many properties?
We schedule gangs by area so the programme runs efficiently, document each property as it is completed, and keep the client updated so there are no surprises. Predictable delivery across a batch of homes is the point of a planned programme.
Can you bring scaffold and netting to a scheme as well?
Yes. As part of the Globe Group we can coordinate scaffold and safety netting alongside the roofing on the same scheme, which simplifies the supply chain for the client.
Which areas do you cover?
We work across the East of England and the Midlands from our base near Cambridge. Talk to us about your programme and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
