How long does a re-roof take?
A typical semi-detached or terraced house takes 5–10 working days depending on size, covering and weather. We give a firm timescale in your quote.
How much does a new roof cost in East Yorkshire?
As a rough guide, a full re-roof — up and over, front and back — starts from around £6,500 on a semi-detached or detached house, depending on size, materials, access and whether structural work is needed. Re-roofing one side only, the front or the back, typically costs £4,000–£6,500 on a semi and £4,000–£6,000 on a terraced house. We provide an exact fixed price after a free survey.
Do I need planning permission to re-roof?
Usually no — like-for-like re-roofing is normally permitted development. It does fall under Building Regulations, which we handle. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent, and we will advise you.
Will you remove and dispose of the old roof?
Yes. Stripping, removal and responsible disposal of all old materials is included in the price.
Do you take a deposit?
No. We take no deposit and no staged payments — you pay on completion, when the roof is finished and you are happy, against a full written invoice. Bank transfer, cheque or cash.
Is scaffolding included in the price?
Yes. We arrange the scaffolding and it is included in your fixed quote — one price covers the whole job.
Who will actually be working on my roof?
Our own team, led by an NVQ Level 3 qualified roofer — we never subcontract a re-roof. The company carries £5 million public liability insurance.
Can you re-roof in winter?
Yes — rain, snow or blow, we work year-round and plan each stage around the forecast so the roof is never left exposed overnight.
What do I get at handover?
A full written invoice, your 15-year workmanship guarantee, and drone photographs of the finished roof — proof of every ridge, valley and flashing from angles you would otherwise never see.
