Full Roof Replacement in Devon & Cornwall

It can be hard to know if you need a few repairs or a complete replacement. If you notice several of the following issues, a new roof is likely the most cost-effective and secure long-term solution:

• Your Roof's Age: If your roof is over 20-25 years old, it's likely approaching the end of its effective lifespan, even if there are no obvious leaks.
• Constant Repairs: Are you frequently calling out roofers to fix slipped slates, cracked tiles, or small leaks? These are often symptoms of a wider failure.
• Visible Daylight: If you can see daylight through the roof boards in your loft, it’s a clear sign that your roof covering is compromised.
• Heavy Moss Growth & Debris: While some moss is normal, excessive growth can hold moisture against the tiles, causing them to break down, especially during winter frosts. Finding lots of grit from your tiles in the gutters is another bad sign.
• Sagging: A dip or curve in the roofline is a serious issue that points to potential structural problems. It needs immediate professional assessment.

The cost of a new roof varies significantly based on several factors. These include the size and complexity of your roof, the materials you choose (e.g., natural slate is more expensive than concrete tiles), ease of access, and whether any structural timbers need replacing. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after our free inspection so you know exactly what the cost covers.

For an average-sized semi-detached or terraced house, a full re-roof typically takes between 5 and 10 working days. This can be affected by the weather and the extent of any underlying timber repairs. We will always give you a realistic timeline before we start work.

In most cases, you do not need planning permission for a re-roof, provided you are using similar materials to the original roof. However, if your property is a listed building or located in a Conservation Area or a National Park, there will be strict requirements. We can advise you on this during our initial survey.

A re-roof is a major project, so some disruption is unavoidable. However, our professional team works efficiently and tidily to keep it to a minimum. We use scaffolding and sheeting to protect your property and ensure the site is left clean and safe at the end of each day. You can usually remain in your home while the work is being done.

Absolutely. A new roof is a major selling point. It gives potential buyers confidence that they won't face any large repair bills for many years. It also improves your home's kerb appeal and can even enhance its energy efficiency, which is great for your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.
