New Roofs & Re-roofing
New Roofs & Re-roofing in Lincolnshire, Cambs & Norfolk
A new roof is a big decision, and a big outlay. We strip it right back, rebuild it with modern materials and keep you updated with photos the whole way — and most house re-roofs are done in under a week once the scaffold is up.

The problem
When patching stops making sense
A lot of the houses we work on across the Fens were roofed in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The tiles may still look passable from the road, but underneath, the old bitumen felt has gone brittle and torn, the battens have softened, and the mortar on the ridges and verges is cracking out. Each repair buys a bit of time, but the next leak simply turns up somewhere else.
At that point, a re-roof is usually the better use of your money. You replace everything that's failing at once, rather than paying for a series of call-outs that never get to the root of it.
Signs to look out for
- 01Leaks in different places every winter, despite repairs
- 02Torn, sagging or crumbling felt visible in the loft
- 03Moss, lichen and porous, flaking tiles across the whole roof
- 04Soft or rotten battens you can see from inside
- 05A dipping or uneven roof line
- 06Ridges and verges needing re-pointing again and again
How we fix it
How we re-roof a house
We organise the scaffold and skip in advance, so you don't have to chase anyone. Once it's up, we strip the old tiles, battens and felt back to the rafters and check the timbers, letting you know with photos if anything needs attention.
Then we build it back properly: a breathable membrane across the whole roof, new treated battens, and new tiles laid to the correct gauge. Ridges, hips and verges are finished with mechanically fixed dry systems rather than mortar, and we deal with the details that matter — lead around chimneys, valleys, vent pipes and new guttering where needed.
You get photo updates throughout, the site is tidied every day, and you get a clear written quote before any work starts.
What goes into one of our roofs
- Breathable membrane
- Replaces old bitumen felt. Lets moisture escape from the loft while keeping driven rain out, which helps stop condensation.
- New treated battens
- Fresh battens fixed to the correct gauge for your tile, so every course sits straight and secure.
- Concrete, clay or slate-effect tiles
- Chosen with you to suit the house and street — red, brown, grey, pantile or slate-effect profiles.
- Dry ridge, dry hip & dry verge
- Mechanically fixed systems that stay put in wind and frost without regular re-pointing.
Good to know
Planning your new roof
The best time to replace a roof is before it starts causing damage inside. If you know yours is near the end, it's worth getting it surveyed early so you can plan the work for a drier spell, and think about what else to do while the scaffold is up — guttering, fascias, chimney lead or solar.
Before & after

Inside a re-roof
Stage by stage
Re-roof
Solar panel removal & refit
Got solar panels? We take them off and put them back.
Plenty of the roofs we replace already have solar panels on them. That shouldn't stop you getting a new roof — and it shouldn't mean finding a second company to deal with the panels.
We carefully take the panels and rails off, store them safely, re-roof underneath with new membrane, battens and tiles, then refit the rails and panels on the new roof. You get a sound roof under panels that can stay put for years.

In our customers' words
“…The guys were absolutely brilliant and kept us informed about how, when and what was needed then worked amazingly quickly and well to get it done…”
“Needed to have the whole roof removed and replaced. From start to finish they were clear, considerate and professional. The work was completed in under a week… we were so pleased with the price, work and outcome.”
“They arrived soon after my phone call… they had organised the scaffolding in advance and the skip. They kept us informed during the whole process with photos, which was great as I am terrified of heights.”
“…our roof was decaying… the reroof was absolutely spot on, worth every penny. We had a few cheaper quotes but they didn't come across anywhere near as good as these guys.”
“They responded quickly to my enquiry, were honest & transparent about what needed to be done (a new roof, guttering & pointing) & the job was completed within 2 weeks of my enquiry. Extremely professional & dedicated team who take pride in their work.”
“Fast, friendly and knowledgeable team. Replaced the roof on our old cottage for a very fair price. Definitely recommended!”
“Got recommended by a neighbour. Done a brilliant job. Done a complete new roof. Very reasonable pricing.”

FAQs
New roofs: your questions
How long does a re-roof take?
Most house re-roofs are completed in under a week once the scaffold is up, depending on size and weather. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your quote and keep you posted with photos.
Can I stay in the house while you re-roof?
Yes. We strip and re-cover in sections so the roof is never left open to the weather overnight, and we sheet up if rain is on the way.
Do you remove and refit solar panels?
Yes. We regularly take solar panels and rails off, re-roof underneath and refit them on the new tiles.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Usually not when you're replacing like for like. Listed buildings and conservation areas can be different, so we'll flag it if it applies to your property.
What tiles can I choose?
We fit concrete, clay, pantile and slate-effect tiles in a range of colours. We'll suggest what suits your house and the street, and show you examples.
Will you deal with the scaffolding and skip?
Yes. We organise both in advance, so they're ready when we start and gone when we finish.
