Not sure if you need a full re-roof?
Most roofs will give you 40–60 years of good service before they need replacing. If yours is showing multiple slipped or broken tiles, sagging timbers, damp patches inside, or the felt underneath has perished — it's worth getting us out for an honest look. We'll tell you straight whether a repair will see it right or whether a full re-roof is the smarter long-term option.
New roof installations
What a full re-roof really involves.
A modern re-roof is a proper piece of construction — much more than swapping tiles. Here's what you're actually paying for, and why doing it once, properly, saves money for decades.
Common problems on older roofs
- Widespread slipped or cracked tiles across multiple slopes
- Perished roofing felt visible from inside the loft
- Sagging ridge line or bowed rafters
- Nail sickness on slate roofs — slates slipping despite looking sound
- Damp patches, staining and mould in loft insulation
- Failed lead flashings and crumbling mortar joints throughout
Signs it's time for a full re-roof
- The roof is over 50 years old and hasn't been overhauled
- You've had multiple repairs in the last few years
- Daylight is visible through the felt from inside the loft
- Insulation feels damp or looks discoloured
- Neighbouring similar properties are being re-roofed
- You're renovating and want confidence in the roof for the long term
Benefits of a professional new roof
A properly specified new roof brings the roof structure up to current British Standards for insulation, ventilation and weather resistance. You'll get better thermal performance in winter, less heat gain in summer, no more anxiety when a storm blows in, and a roof that adds real, tangible value to the property. Done right, it's a 40 to 60-year fit-and-forget upgrade — often longer with natural slate.
Materials we use
- Concrete tiles — Marley, Redland and equivalent leading brands
- Clay tiles and traditional pantiles for period properties
- Natural slate — Spanish, Welsh and Cembrit fibre-cement equivalents
- Treated softwood timber battens to BS 5534
- High-performance breather membrane underlays
- Code 4 and Code 5 lead for all flashings and valleys
- Dry ridge, dry verge and dry hip systems as standard
Typical lifespan
A concrete tile roof installed to modern standards should give 40–60 years of service. Clay tiles and pantiles routinely last 60–100 years. Natural slate can comfortably exceed a century with only occasional refixing of individual slates. The underlying felt and battens typically outlast the tile covering when installed correctly.
Maintenance advice
New roofs are close to maintenance-free for the first two decades. A brief visual check every couple of years, a gutter clear-out each autumn, and prompt attention to any obvious storm damage will keep it in good order. Every 10–15 years it's worth having flashings and pointing inspected for early signs of movement.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does a new roof take to install?+
Most residential re-roofs in Wisbech and King's Lynn take between 3 and 7 working days, depending on the size of the property, the pitch, and the weather. Larger or more complex roofs — such as those with multiple gables, dormers or chimneys — can take a little longer. We'll give you a realistic timescale as part of the written quote so you know what to plan for.
How much does a new roof cost?+
Every roof is priced individually because no two properties are the same. The main factors are the size of the roof, the tiles you choose (concrete, clay or natural slate), whether the timbers need any work, and access. We come out for free, measure up properly, and give you a fixed, written price with no hidden extras.
Do I need scaffolding for a new roof?+
Yes — a full re-roof is always carried out from scaffold for safety and quality. We arrange the scaffold as part of the job, so you don't need to organise anything separately. The scaffold cost is included in your quote up front.
Will you match my existing tiles?+
On a partial re-roof or extension we'll do our best to match the existing tiles as closely as possible in colour, size and profile. On a full re-roof you have a free choice of tile — we'll show you samples of concrete, clay and slate options so you can pick a finish that suits the property.
How long will a new roof last?+
A properly installed roof using quality materials should give you 40 to 60 years of service, and natural slate roofs can last considerably longer with occasional maintenance. All of our new roofs are built to modern British Standards using treated timber battens, breather membrane, and dry ridge / dry verge systems as standard.
Do you cover new roofs on extensions and garages?+
Absolutely — we install pitched tile roofs and flat roofs on extensions, garages, porches and outbuildings across Wisbech, King's Lynn and the surrounding Fenland. If you're working with a builder we're happy to coordinate directly with them.
