New Roofs & Re-Roofing in East Yorkshire

Re-roofing replaces your entire roof covering — tiles or slates, battens, underlay (felt), and usually the ridge and flashings — giving you a watertight, energy-efficient roof that should last decades. It is the right choice when a roof is reaching the end of its life, suffering repeated leaks, or losing tiles across the whole surface.

A full re-roof, up and over, starts from around £6,500. Re-roofing one side only (the front or the back) commonly ranges £4,000–£6,500 on a semi and £4,000–£6,000 on a terrace. Depends on size, materials and access. Free fixed survey and quote. See our full price guide.

Signs you may need new roofs and re-roofing

Spotting these early usually means a smaller, cheaper job. If any sound familiar, it's worth getting the roof looked at.

  • A roof over 40–60 years old (slate can last longer; concrete tiles less)
  • Repeated leaks appearing in several different places
  • Widespread slipped, cracked or delaminating tiles
  • Sagging roofline or visible dips between rafters
  • High energy bills from a poorly insulated, draughty roof

Hipped roof re-tiled in Sandtoft double pantiles — Beverley

Hipped roof re-tiled in Sandtoft double pantiles

Beverley · New Roofs in Beverley →

The old plain tile roof on this hipped house in Beverley carried a lot of poor repairs, so we replaced it with a new roof in brown Sandtoft double pantiles. The hips and ridge are dry-fixed — mechanically clipped, with no mortar to crack or wash out — the valleys are dry valleys and the gable has a dry verge. The chimney stacks were re-flashed in new lead where they come through the tiles, the junction that most often lets water into an otherwise sound roof.

Re-roof in Russell Bute 3 tiles — York

Re-roof in Russell Bute 3 tiles

York · New Roofs in York →

The original plain tiles on this hipped roof in York were badly spalled, their faces flaking away. We stripped the roof and re-covered it in Russell Bute 3, an interlocking concrete tile made to look like traditional small plain tiles, so the new roof keeps a plain-tile look. It was set out with new breathable membrane and treated battens, then tiled and finished with a dry hip and dry ridge system and a dry valley between the slopes. The finished roof carries solar panels on one slope.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing — frequently asked questions

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.
