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.

Re-roofing a typical UK semi commonly ranges £5,000–£9,000 depending on size, materials and access. Free fixed survey and quote.

What's included

  • Stripping the old covering and disposing of waste responsibly
  • Replacing damaged battens and fitting breathable underlay
  • Installing new tiles or slates to match your property and area
  • Fitting dry ridge and dry verge systems for storm resistance
  • Renewing all lead, flashings and roofline as needed
  • Building Regulations compliance and notification where required

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
