How much does a new roof cost in the UK?

A new roof typically costs between £5,000-£15,000 for an average 3-bed semi, depending on materials and roof complexity. Natural slate is at the premium end (£10,000-£20,000+), while concrete tiles are more affordable (£4,000-£8,000). Our roofers provide free, itemised quotes.

How long does a full roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements take 3-7 days, depending on size, weather, and complexity. Scaffolding typically goes up a day before work starts. Our roofers will give you a clear timeline during the survey.

What's the difference between slate and tile roofing?

Natural slate is a premium option lasting 100+ years with a distinctive appearance, but costs more. Clay tiles last 50-70 years with excellent colour retention. Concrete tiles are the most affordable, lasting 40-50 years. Each suits different properties and budgets.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof?

Usually no, as a like-for-like replacement falls under permitted development. However, if you're changing the roofline, adding dormers, or live in a conservation area or listed building, you may need approval. Our roofers can advise.

What guarantees come with a new roof?

Our accredited roofers typically offer 10-20 year workmanship guarantees, plus manufacturer warranties on materials (often 30-50 years for tiles/slates). All guarantees are provided in writing before work begins.

Can you work with my existing architect or builder?

Absolutely. Our roofers regularly work alongside architects, builders, and project managers on larger projects. They can provide quotes based on specifications or work independently if preferred.

Complete Re-roof

"Was worried about finding a trustworthy roofer after hearing horror stories. This service connected me with a brilliant NFRC-registered contractor who replaced our entire roof. They provided a detailed written quote, handled Building Regs, and the 15-year IBG guarantee gives real peace of mind."
