What's involved

New Roofs in Aylsham

A new roof installation is needed when an existing roof is beyond economical repair, when you're extending or building new, or when a property has been re-roofed with poor materials that are now failing. It's a substantial piece of work, but done properly it protects the whole building for decades.

The work begins with stripping the existing roof covering back to the deck or rafters, checking for any rotten timber and replacing it before anything else goes on. We then install modern breathable felt underlay, new battens, and lay your chosen tile or slate. Ridge tiles are bedded and pointed, lead flashings are dressed around chimneys and abutments, and guttering connections are checked. For new builds we work from the structural drawings and liaise with the main contractor.

Skimping on a roof installation creates problems that are expensive to fix later. Poorly laid tiles lift in high winds, inadequate flashings allow water into the wall cavity, and substandard underlay fails within a few years. A properly installed roof by an experienced roofer avoids those costs entirely.

We survey the roof before quoting, so there are no surprises on the bill. Most new roof installations on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached in Norfolk take three to five working days. We clear all waste and old materials from site before we leave.

A new pitched roof in Aylsham typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000 depending on size, pitch, and the tile or slate chosen, with natural slate sitting at the higher end of that range.

Questions

What people ask first.

Most homeowners in Aylsham should budget between £5,500 and £12,000 for a new pitched roof on a standard semi-detached or detached house. The main cost factors are roof area, pitch, and whether you choose concrete tiles, clay tiles, or natural slate. We provide a full written quote after surveying the roof, so you know exactly what's included.
If more than a third of the tiles or slates are cracked, slipping, or missing, or if you are getting water ingress in multiple places, a full replacement is usually better value than ongoing repairs. We can carry out a survey and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your property.
Minor repairs such as replacing a small number of broken tiles or re-bedding loose ridge tiles typically cost between £150 and £400 in the Aylsham area. More involved work like repairing a chimney flashing or fixing a leaking valley will usually fall in the £300 to £700 range. We give you a clear price before we start.
Flat roofing is almost always priced per square metre, with the total depending on the system chosen, the size of the roof, and whether the deck needs replacing underneath. In Aylsham, EPDM and GRP flat roof installations typically run between £70 and £110 per square metre fully installed. A small garage or extension roof of 20 square metres would therefore fall in the £1,400 to £2,200 range.
For a typical semi-detached property in Aylsham, most customers budget between £800 and £1,500 for a full fascia, soffit, and guttering replacement. The final price depends on the total run of boards, whether any rafter feet need repair, and how many storeys need access. We provide a written quote after a free roofline survey so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Replacing the lead flashing on all four sides of a standard chimney in Aylsham usually costs between £400 and £700, including repointing the chase. If only the front apron and back gutter need attention, the cost is lower. We quote per job after inspecting the chimney, not on a blanket day rate.
Chimney rebuild costs are not usually quoted per metre because access, brick matching, and the number of pots all affect the price significantly. As a rough guide, a full rebuild of a standard single stack above the roofline in Aylsham, including scaffold and new lead, runs between £1,500 and £2,800. A partial rebuild of the top two or three courses is typically £900 to £1,400.
For a standard two-storey property in Aylsham, chimney removal including scaffold, making good the roof, and disposing of the brickwork typically costs between £900 and £1,800. The price varies with the height of the stack, the type of roof covering, and how much tile or slate work is needed to close the opening neatly. We give a fixed price after seeing the job.
