When repairs are no longer keeping the water out, a full re-roof is the job that finally puts it to bed. Most pitched roofs across Derby and Nottingham last somewhere between 40 and 70 years depending on the covering — so if yours is reaching that age, sagging between the rafters, shedding tiles or letting damp into the loft, it's usually more cost-effective to replace it than to keep patching.

We strip the old covering right back, check and treat the timbers, and rebuild the roof properly from the membrane up. You get a clear written quote before we start, a fixed price with no surprises, and a roof that's good for decades.

Signs you might need a new roof

It's not always obvious from the ground. The clearest signs are persistent leaks that come back after repairs, several slipped or cracked tiles at once, a roofline that's started to dip or sag, daylight or damp visible in the loft, and crumbling mortar along the ridge. If you're seeing two or three of these, it's worth a free survey before the next big storm.

Tiles, slates & materials

We fit concrete interlocking tiles (the most cost-effective and very durable), traditional clay tiles for period and conservation-area properties, and natural or fibre-cement slate where a slate look is wanted. On older Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire homes we'll match the existing covering as closely as possible so the new roof looks right for the property.

Every re-roof goes on over a modern breathable membrane, which lets the roof space ventilate and helps prevent condensation — a common cause of "leaks" that aren't actually coming through the tiles at all.

How long does a re-roof take?

A typical semi-detached or terraced house takes around 3–5 working days once the scaffold is up, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs take longer. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your quote and keep you updated as the job progresses.

FAQs

Common questions

Every roof is different — size, pitch, access, the covering you choose and whether the timbers or guttering need work all affect the price. That's exactly why our surveys and quotes are free: we'll measure up, talk through the options and give you a clear written price with no obligation.

Yes. We provide a workmanship guarantee on every re-roof, and the tiles, slates and membranes we fit carry their own manufacturer warranties on top. We'll confirm the details in writing with your quote.

No. A re-roof is all external work, so you can stay in the property throughout. We protect the area around the house, keep things tidy and clear away all waste when we're finished.

Yes — if only one slope or section has failed we can re-cover that part rather than the whole roof. We'll always recommend the most sensible option for your roof and budget rather than over-selling the job.
