It's the point where a roof stops being patched and starts protecting your home for another lifetime. ### Who it's for Homeowners with roofs over 50 years old, buyers who've had a survey flag widespread nail fatigue or sagging, and landlords who need one certain price to close the file. If you've had three separate repairs in three years, a new roof is almost always cheaper long-term than a fourth. ### When you need it When more than 20% of tiles are cracked or slipping, when timbers show water staining across multiple bays, when the felt has perished and light shows through in the loft, or when you're already scaffolded for a large repair and the maths point one way. ### Why it matters A DIY or price-only replacement lasts 15 years. A properly built roof, correctly spaced battens, breathable membrane, mechanically fixed ridges to current Building Regs, lasts 60+. The difference is entirely in the specification and the hands doing the work. What happens if it's ignored ## Small problems don't stay small. A roof issue left alone compounds quickly. Water tracks, timber rots, and repair scope escalates by season. Here's what we see when a customer waits. ### Water ingress you can't see yet By the time a ceiling stain appears, water has usually been tracking through the roof structure for months, rotting rafter ends, soaking insulation, and corroding fixings. Replacing rotten timber costs multiples of a new roof carried out before the damage spreads. ### Failing felt and nail fatigue Bituminous felt has a 30–40 year service life. Once it fails, wind-driven rain reaches the battens and rafters directly. Iron nails corrode, tiles slip, and the roof enters a phase of accelerating repairs that never quite catches up. ### Cheap replacements that fail early The most expensive roof is the one you pay for twice. Skipping breathable membrane, using undersized battens, or mortar-bedding a ridge where dry-fix is required will pass a driveway inspection and fail its first hard winter. ### Insurance and mortgage risk Homebuyer surveys routinely flag ageing roofs, and lenders can retain funds until remedial work is documented. A specified new roof with a written 10-year guarantee removes that entire category of risk from a sale. Our process ## From first call to final tidy-up. - 01 ### Free on-site survey We inspect the loft, the covering, the flashings and the timbers, photograph everything, and talk through your options honestly, including cheaper repair routes when they make sense. - 02 ### Written specification A written fixed-price quote within 6 hours landing in your inbox: exact scope, tile or slate specified by manufacturer, membrane grade, ventilation and insulation notes, timescale and price. Fixed, not indicative. - 03 ### Scaffold and strip Scaffolding erected to safe working platforms. Existing covering, battens and felt stripped back to rafters. Timbers checked and any rot cut out and replaced before we go further. - 04 ### Membrane, battens, coverings Breathable underlay laid in overlapping courses, battens set to correct gauge for the covering, then re-tiled or re-slated. Ridges and hips fixed with modern dry-fix systems to Building Regs. - 05 ### Sign-off, clean-down and guarantee Final inspection with you, all waste removed, gutters cleared. You get the 10-year written workmanship guarantee in writing and manufacturer product warranties for the materials. Why homeowners pick us ## What you actually get. ### A 60-year roof, done once Correct specification and full re-lay means you're not budgeting for another roof in your lifetime, or your children's. ### One fixed price Free survey, one number written down before we lift a slate. No day-rate creep, no 'while we're up there' extras. ### Fully scaffolded, fully insured Proper working platforms, edge protection and both public and employers' liability insurance in place on every job. ### Employed team, not sub-contractors The same employed team of 10 you meet on survey day is on-site through completion. Nobody drops in for a day and disappears. ### 10-year written guarantee The 10-year written workmanship guarantee is issued on completion, the workmanship, in writing, for a full decade. - ### Weather-planned and on schedule We plan strip-and-cover in a single weather window so your roof is never exposed overnight. Start date is the date on the quote. The detail ## Materials, methods and where they apply. Every new roof we build is specified for the property in front of us, a Victorian terrace in Bishopthorpe needs different detailing than a 1990s detached in Haxby. Below is a summary of the materials and methods we use, and how we adapt them across York, the North Yorkshire coast and East Riding. Areas covered York, Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Pickering, Malton, Beverley, Selby, Hull, see all locations ### Tile and slate materials we work with We fit natural slate, fibre-cement slate, concrete interlocking tiles, clay plain and pantile in both standard and hand-crafted profiles. Choice depends on the property age, planning constraints, weight, budget and how the roof reads from the street. Natural Welsh and Spanish slate, best for pitched roofs on period property and heritage terraces - Clay pantiles, the Yorkshire standard on much of the East Riding coast, hard-wearing and correct in character - Concrete interlocking tiles, best-value option on standard pitches, wide colour range, long service life - Clay plain tiles, small-format tile for steep pitches, gables and heritage restoration ### Membrane, battens and fixings Roofing failures usually start below the tile line, not on it. We use only breathable underlay to modern BS 5534 standards, tanalised graded battens sized correctly for the covering, and stainless or hot-dip galvanised nails matched to the material. Every ridge, hip and verge is mechanically fixed with a dry-fix system to eliminate the mortar failures that pattern the older housing stock. ### Ventilation and insulation upgrades A new roof is the correct time to sort ventilation and insulation. Poorly ventilated cold roofs create condensation, which rots timbers from inside. We fit soffit vents, over-fascia vents, tile vents or ridge ventilation to suit the build-up, and we're happy to spec top-up loft insulation to current Building Regs U-values during the same job. ### Residential vs commercial new-build For domestic re-roofs, the priority is watertightness, longevity and street-level appearance. For commercial premises, warehouses, workshops, small industrial units, the priority shifts to fast turnaround, minimum disruption to trading, and long-life low-maintenance coverings such as profiled metal or reinforced membrane systems. We handle both, and we phase commercial work around your opening hours where we can. ### Building Regs, Part L and Part F Any re-roof covering more than 25% of a roof pitch triggers a Part L thermal upgrade obligation. We handle the notification and the upgrade, usually loft insulation top-up, or breathable insulation between rafters where a warm roof is required, as part of the quoted price so you're not left chasing paperwork. FAQ ## Straight answers, no waffle. How much does a new roof cost in York?+A typical semi-detached new roof in York starts around £6,500 including scaffold, strip-out, breathable membrane, new battens, concrete interlocking tiles and dry-fix ridges. Pantile and natural slate replacements sit higher. Every quote is fixed in writing before work starts. How long does a full new roof take?+Most standard three-bed properties are stripped, re-membraned and re-tiled in 5 to 7 working days, weather dependent. Complex roofs with dormers, valleys or chimney work run 8 to 14 days. Your quote gives the exact schedule. Will my house be exposed overnight?+No. We plan every strip-and-cover so a full weather cover, either fully re-tiled or a heavy-duty tarpaulin correctly fixed, is in place at the end of every working day. Do I need planning permission for a new roof?+Standard like-for-like re-roofs are permitted development in almost all cases. Changes of material (e.g. concrete tile to natural slate) or roofs in conservation areas can need consent, we'll flag it on survey and, if you'd like, we handle the application. How long will a new roof last?+A properly specified new roof carries a service life of 40 to 60 years, and often longer with natural slate. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years in writing, and materials carry their own manufacturer warranty. Do you handle re-roofs on listed and conservation-area property?+Yes. We match tile, slate and detailing to the original, work closely with the conservation officer where required, and use lime mortar and traditional lead where a modern equivalent isn't appropriate. Can you re-roof around solar panels?+Yes, we remove and refit solar arrays as part of a new roof, or coordinate with your installer. We'll set that out clearly on the quote so there are no surprises. Is scaffolding included in the price?+Always. Every quote includes full scaffold, edge protection, waste removal and skip permits where needed, one fixed number covers the whole job.
