Roof Replacements

Roof Replacements in Dereham

Roof replacement becomes necessary when a roof has reached the end of its serviceable life — persistent leaks, widespread slipped or cracked tiles, failing mortar on ridges and hips, and sagging roof lines are all signs that patching is no longer a sensible investment. Many homes in Dereham, particularly post-war semis and bungalows, have original roofs that are now 50 or more years old.

We strip the roof back to bare rafters, check all timbers for rot or insect damage, and replace anything that's compromised before laying new breathable felt, treated battens, and your chosen tile or slate. Lead flashings around chimneys, party walls, and roof windows are replaced as part of the job, not left in place. Where scaffolding is needed — which it almost always is for a full replacement — we arrange and manage this on your behalf.

A full replacement costs more upfront than a repair, but it eliminates the cycle of annual patch jobs that often end up costing just as much over time. New materials also come with manufacturer warranties of 30 to 50 years, and a properly installed roof adds demonstrable value when selling a property.

We carry out a no-charge survey before quoting, so you know exactly what's included and why. Work is carried out by our own team — we don't subcontract. We're fully insured, and every replacement comes with a ten-year workmanship guarantee backed in writing.

A full roof replacement on a typical Dereham three-bedroom house costs between £5,500 and £10,000 depending on materials, roof configuration, and access requirements.
