When your roof has reached the end of its lifespan, a full replacement is the safest and most cost-effective long-term solution. Our team carries out a thorough structural assessment before removing the old roof covering, inspecting and repairing the timber framework, and installing a brand-new roof using premium materials. We handle everything from scaffolding erection to final ridge tile pointing, leaving your property watertight and looking immaculate. Most standard roof replacements are completed within 3 to 7 days with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question about our roofing services? Find answers to the most common queries below.

The cost of a new roof varies depending on the size of your property, the type of materials chosen, accessibility, and whether any structural repairs are needed. As a rough guide, a standard terraced house roof replacement typically starts from around £4,000 to £6,000, while larger semi-detached or detached properties can range from £6,000 to £12,000 or more. We offer free, no-obligation assessments with transparent pricing and no hidden extras — simply get in touch for a quote tailored to your property.

Most standard roof replacements take between 3 to 7 working days depending on the size and complexity of the job, the weather, and whether any structural timber work is required. Larger or more complex projects may take slightly longer. We will give you a clear, realistic timeline during your free assessment so you know exactly what to expect from day one.

Common signs that your roof may need replacing include the roof being over 20 to 25 years old, widespread cracked, slipped or missing tiles, persistent leaks in multiple areas, visible sagging on the roofline, daylight visible through the roof space, or increasing energy bills caused by poor insulation. We always carry out a thorough inspection and provide an honest assessment — if a repair will do, we will tell you.

We work with a full range of high-quality roofing materials including natural Welsh and Spanish slate, concrete interlocking tiles, clay plain tiles, and modern lightweight composite alternatives. We also install EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems for flat roof sections.

The lifespan of a new roof depends on the materials used and the quality of installation. Natural slate roofs can last 75 to 100 years or more. Concrete tiles typically last 50 to 60 years, while clay tiles can last 60 years plus. Modern flat roof systems such as EPDM rubber carry warranties of 20 to 30 years. With proper installation by an experienced team like ours, your new roof will protect your home for decades to come.

Yes, roofline and finishing work is a key part of our roof replacement service. We install or replace fascias, soffits, guttering, dry verge systems, and lead flashings as standard. We use modern, maintenance-free uPVC products that give your property a clean, tidy finish that lasts for years without needing repainting or upkeep.

Our process starts with a free site visit and assessment. Once you accept our quote, we arrange scaffolding and agree a start date. On day one, we strip the existing roof covering, inspect the timber framework for any damage, carry out necessary repairs, then install breathable membrane, battens, and your chosen tile or slate. We finish with ridge work, lead flashings, and roofline products. Throughout the job, we send you photos so you can see the progress. A final inspection and clean-up completes the project.
