What's involved

New Roofs in Dereham

A new roof is needed when repair work is no longer practical — typically when a roof is over 30 years old, when more than 30% of the tiles or slates are failing, or when the underlying timber structure has deteriorated. Homeowners in Dereham with older semi-detached and detached properties often reach this point after decades of Norfolk's damp winters and strong easterly winds.

The work involves stripping the existing roof covering, inspecting and replacing any damaged rafters or battens, fitting new roofing felt or breathable membrane, and laying your chosen tile or slate. We also replace all lead flashings, ridges, and hip details as standard, and fit new UPVC fascias and soffits if required. Most standard three-bedroom properties in Dereham take three to five days to complete.

Using a professional roofer rather than attempting a patch-and-hope approach matters for several reasons. A properly installed roof relies on correct lap distances, adequate ventilation, and watertight detailing at every junction. Get any of those wrong and you'll have leaks within a year. A professional installation also comes with manufacturer-backed material warranties and workmanship guarantees.

We begin every job with a full survey and written quotation at no charge. Once you're happy to proceed, we agree a start date, order materials, and keep you updated throughout. We leave the site clean and tidy each day and carry full public liability insurance. All our new roofs come with a ten-year workmanship guarantee.

A new roof on a typical three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dereham costs between £5,500 and £9,000 depending on the materials chosen and the pitch and complexity of the roof.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new roof on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dereham typically costs between £5,500 and £9,000. The price depends on the roof size, pitch, material choice (concrete tile, clay tile, or natural slate), and whether fascias and soffits need replacing. We provide a free, itemised written quote before any work begins.
A repair makes sense when damage is isolated — a handful of slipped tiles or a small section of failed flashing, for example. Replacement is more cost-effective when over 25–30% of the roof covering has failed, when the timbers underneath are rotting, or when the roof is over 40 years old and showing widespread deterioration. We'll tell you honestly which option is right after a free survey.
Minor repairs such as replacing a handful of slipped tiles typically cost between £150 and £350. Re-ridging a terraced or semi-detached house in Dereham usually falls between £400 and £800. More involved work such as replacing chimney flashings or repairing valley gutters can range from £300 to £700. We provide a written quote after inspection so there are no surprises.
A GRP fibreglass flat roof in Dereham typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre, fully installed. A standard garage roof of around 20 square metres would therefore cost in the region of £1,400 to £2,400. EPDM rubber systems are similarly priced and may be more economical on larger areas. We'll give you an exact figure after measuring up and assessing the existing deck.
Fascia and soffit replacement in Dereham typically costs between £80 and £120 per linear metre for uPVC boards, including labour, materials, and waste removal. A typical three-bedroom semi with around 30 metres of fascia runs between £900 and £1,500 depending on access and whether any rafter foot repairs are needed. We provide a fixed written quote before work starts so there are no surprises.
A standard chimney flashing replacement in Dereham typically costs between £250 and £600, depending on the size of the chimney stack and the amount of lead required. Full lead valley replacements on a larger period property can run from £800 to £1,800 or more. We give a fixed written quote after inspecting the area so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.
A chimney rebuild from the flashing line upwards in Dereham typically costs between £800 and £2,000, including scaffold, materials, and new pots and flaunching. If new leadwork is required at the same time, that adds to the cost depending on the size of the detail. We give a full written quote after inspecting the stack — the price won't change once you've accepted it.
Chimney take-downs in Dereham typically cost between £700 and £1,500 for a standard residential stack, including scaffold, demolition, roof reinstatement, and waste removal. The main variables are the height of the stack, the pitch of the roof, and whether we need to source matching tiles or slates to reinstate the roof covering. We provide a full fixed-price quote before any work begins.
