Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost?
A full re-roof typically costs £5,000-£12,000 depending on size and materials. Repairs start from £200-£500.
How long does a re-roof take?
A typical semi-detached re-roof takes 3-5 days. Larger properties may take 1-2 weeks.
Do I need scaffolding?
Most roofing work requires scaffolding for safety. This is usually included in the quote.
How do I know if my roof needs replacing?
Signs include missing or cracked tiles, sagging areas, daylight visible through the roof, persistent leaks, and tiles that are over 50 years old. A professional roof survey (£150-£300) can assess the condition.
What roofing materials are available?
Common options include concrete tiles (£25-£40/m²), clay tiles (£40-£60/m²), natural slate (£60-£100/m²), and synthetic slate (£30-£50/m²). Flat roofs use felt, EPDM rubber, fibreglass (GRP), or single-ply membranes.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
A like-for-like replacement usually falls under permitted development. However, if you are changing the roof height, shape, or materials significantly, you may need planning permission. Listed buildings always require consent.
How long should a new roof last?
A well-installed slate roof can last 80-100+ years. Clay tiles last 50-60 years, concrete tiles 40-50 years. Flat roofs last 15-25 years depending on the material used.
Can I get my roof repaired instead of replaced?
Yes, many issues can be repaired rather than requiring a full replacement. Replacing individual tiles costs £50-£200, repointing ridge tiles £300-£600, and repairing flashing £150-£400. A roofer can advise whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
