A new roof is one of the most significant investments you will make in your home. When repairs are no longer cost-effective, when a roof structure has reached the end of its useful life, or when you are extending or converting a property, a full replacement is the right answer. We install new roofs on all types of residential and commercial buildings across Aylsham, North Walsham, Holt, Reepham, Sheringham, and the wider Norfolk area.
Roofs come in a wide range of pitches, materials and configurations. Getting the specification right for your property type matters as much as the quality of the labour.
Before any tiles go on, a proper new roof starts with the structure beneath. We strip the existing covering, inspect every rafter, purlin and ridge board, and replace any timber that has rotted or weakened. Cutting corners on the structure is what causes a new roof to fail prematurely, so this stage is not optional.
Once the structure is sound, we lay a breathable roofing membrane across the whole deck. This underlayer keeps driven rain and wind-blown moisture out even if a tile is dislodged, and it allows the roof space to breathe correctly, reducing the risk of condensation build-up in the loft.
Battens go over the membrane at the correct spacing for the tile or slate being used. Pitch, tile weight, and exposure all influence batten gauge. A steep, exposed roof on the edge of Sheringham or Mundesley needs different calculations to a sheltered low-pitch roof in a town centre courtyard.
We then fix the new covering. The main options for pitched roofs are:
Lead or code-matched alternatives are used at all valleys, around chimney stacks, and at abutments with walls or dormers. Flashings are one of the most common points of failure on older roofs, so these are done properly rather than patched with surface sealant.
Ridge tiles are bedded or dry-fixed depending on the system. Dry-fix ridge systems have largely replaced traditional mortar bedding on new roofs because they allow movement without cracking and do not rely on mortar that can wash out over time.
Garages, extensions, and bay-window roofs are often flat or very low pitch. For these sections we use either high-performance torch-on felt systems or EPDM rubber membrane. Both systems outperform the old three-layer felt that was standard on most mid-century extensions.
We work across a wide area of North and mid-Norfolk. Regular areas include Aylsham, North Walsham, Holt, Reepham, Wroxham, Stalham, Sheringham, Mundesley, Sprowston, Hellesdon, Hethersett, Thorpe St Andrew, and Norwich itself. If you are in a village nearby any of these towns, get in touch and we can confirm whether we cover your postcode.
Working at height on a stripped roof carries serious risks. Beyond the safety aspect, a poorly installed roof causes problems that may not show for a year or two: trapped moisture from inadequate ventilation, tiles lifting in wind because fixings were underspecified, or water tracking behind flashings because lap lengths were too short. These faults are expensive to put right and often require the area to be stripped again.
A professional roofer will also know which materials are appropriate for planning purposes. Some parishes in Norfolk, particularly those with conservation area designations, have restrictions on tile type, colour, and profile. Getting this wrong before you start can mean an enforcement notice requiring you to redo the work at your own cost.
We will visit the property and assess the existing structure, roof area, pitch, and any complications such as chimneys, rooflights, or party walls before we price the job. You will get a clear, itemised quote so you know what is included. Lead times vary with demand and the time of year, so the sooner you contact us, the sooner we can plan the work around you.
Scaffolding is erected before the old roof comes off. We work methodically across the roof so that no large section is left open overnight wherever that can be avoided. At the end of each day, any open sections are covered. Once the new roof is complete and the scaffolding is struck, we clear all waste from the site.
The cost of a new roof depends on its size, the complexity of the structure and the material chosen: natural slate and clay plain tiles sit at the higher end, while concrete interlocking tiles are more economical. A proper quote should include scaffolding and waste removal. Flat roof replacements on a standard single garage or extension typically cost £800 to £2,500 depending on area and system specified.
Call us to arrange a roof survey and we can give you a proper price based on your actual property rather than an estimate over the phone.
