Roof Replacements

Roof Replacements

If your roof is past its best — crumbling mortar, repeated leaks or tiles that keep slipping — a full replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing patch repairs. We strip and re-roof domestic and commercial properties across Cromer and North Norfolk, using materials suited to the coastal environment.

What's involved

Roof Replacements in Cromer

There comes a point where patching a tired roof stops making financial sense. If you're calling a roofer out two or three times a year, the mortar on the ridge has crumbled away, or the felt underneath has rotted and water is tracking through, a full roof replacement is almost always the more economical long-term decision.

We carry out full roof replacements on properties of all ages across Cromer, Overstrand, Mundesley, Holt and the wider North Norfolk area. The process starts by stripping everything back to the rafters — old tiles, battens and felt all come off. We inspect the timber structure carefully at this point; on older properties it's common to find some rafter ends or fascia boards that need replacing, and we'll always show you what we've found before doing any additional work. New breathable membrane, treated timber battens and your chosen tile or slate then go on in sequence.

A roof replacement carried out properly will last 40 to 60 years. Using a qualified roofer matters because the details — correct batten gauge for the tile profile, adequate ventilation to prevent condensation, properly dressed lead at every junction — are what determine whether it lasts that long or starts failing within a decade.

We erect scaffolding on every replacement job; no shortcuts with ladders on a full strip. Most standard domestic replacements are completed in four to six working days. You'll get a written quote upfront, and we keep you informed if the strip-off reveals anything unexpected. All replacement roofs we install carry a ten-year workmanship guarantee.

Roof replacement in Cromer for a standard three-bedroom house typically costs between £6,000 and £14,000 depending on roof size, materials and the condition of the underlying structure.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new pitched roof on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cromer typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000. The final figure depends on the roof area, pitch angle, your choice of materials — natural slate costs more than concrete tiles — and how easy it is to access the property. We provide a free, itemised written quote so there are no surprises.
If you're having the same sections repaired repeatedly, if the felt underneath is visibly sagging or rotted, or if more than 20–25% of the tiles are cracked, slipped or missing, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective. We offer a free roof survey in Cromer and will give you an honest assessment — we won't recommend a replacement if a good repair will do the job.
Most standard roof repairs in Cromer — replacing a handful of slipped tiles, repointing ridge mortar or resealing a flashing — cost between £150 and £600. Jobs that require scaffolding, such as chimney repairs or work on a steeply pitched roof, will cost more. We'll assess the job first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Flat roofs in Cromer typically cost between £70 and £120 per square metre installed, so a standard single-garage roof of around 15–18 square metres would cost roughly £1,050 to £2,160. GRP fibreglass sits at the higher end of that range, reinforced felt at the lower end. We provide a free survey and written quote for all flat roofing work.
Fascia and soffit replacement in Cromer typically costs £80–£120 per linear metre for a full strip-and-replace using UPVC, including disposal of the old material. A standard semi-detached property usually runs to around £600–£1,000 for the full roofline. We provide a fixed written quote after inspecting the job, so you won't face unexpected extras.
The most common signs are a damp patch on the ceiling near a chimney breast or dormer window, particularly after heavy or wind-driven rain. You may also see the lead itself has lifted, cracked, or been patched with grey mastic or flashing tape. If a ceiling stain reappears after being replastered, there's a good chance the lead joint above it has never been properly addressed.
A partial chimney rebuild from the flashing line upwards on a standard terraced or semi-detached property in Cromer typically costs £800–£1,800, including new lead flashings and re-bedding the pots. A full rebuild down to roof level will cost more, depending on the height of the stack and the availability of matching brick. We provide a fixed price after inspecting from scaffold — never from the ground.
Chimney take-downs in Cromer typically cost £600–£1,400 for the full job, including scaffold, brick removal, making good the roof covering, and disposal of all material. The final price depends on how high the stack is above the roof line, the type of roof covering, and ease of access. We include everything in a single fixed price so there are no additions on the day.
