When a roof has deteriorated past the point of economic repair, a full replacement is the most cost-effective long-term answer. We strip existing coverings, assess the underlying structure, and re-roof to current standards with a ten-year workmanship guarantee.

A roof replacement becomes necessary when tiles or slates are failing across large areas, the underlying felt has rotted through, or recurring repair bills are outweighing the cost of starting fresh. Many homes in Haverhill built in the 1960s and 1970s are now at this stage — original concrete interlocking tiles have reached the end of their serviceable life, and mortar bedded ridges are crumbling. A full replacement resolves all of this in a single project.
We strip the roof completely, removing all old coverings down to the bare timber. The rafters and structural timbers are inspected at this point and any damaged sections replaced before we proceed. New breathable underlay is fitted, followed by battens set to the correct gauge for the chosen tile or slate. Ridge and hip tiles are mechanically fixed with stainless steel clips rather than relying on mortar alone, which extends the maintenance-free period considerably. All lead flashings are replaced as part of the contract.
Attempting a like-for-like patch on a failing roof is a false economy. Water that has been ingressing through worn tiles causes timber decay that is only visible once the roof is stripped. Replacing the roof professionally means the structure is inspected properly and any hidden problems are dealt with rather than covered over. Our team work at height every day and carry all appropriate insurance and safety equipment — it is not a job to price-cut on by using uninsured labour.
We survey the roof before quoting, confirm the programme in writing, and keep the property weathertight each evening during the strip. Most replacement roofs on Haverhill properties are completed within four to six working days. All work is guaranteed for ten years.
Roof replacements in Haverhill typically cost between £4,800 and £11,000, with the main variables being roof size, pitch, tile specification, and the extent of any structural timber repairs required.
