What's involved

New Roofs in your area

A new roof is one of the most significant investments you'll make in a property. We work on everything from traditional pitched roofs on Victorian terraces in the town centre to new-build detached homes out towards Kentford and Red Lodge. If you're building an extension or your existing roof structure has deteriorated beyond repair, a full new installation is often more cost-effective than repeated patching.

The work begins with a structural inspection to assess the rafters and any existing timbers. We strip back to the bare structure, replace any damaged rafters or purlins, then install breathable membrane, treated battens, and your chosen tiles or slates. We use concrete interlocking tiles, clay plain tiles, and natural Welsh slate depending on the property and planning requirements. Ridge, hip, and valley sections are all bedded and pointed with flexible mortar to prevent future movement.

A poorly fitted roof can fail within a few years through poor ventilation, incorrect overlap, or inadequate fixings. Damp timber, mould in the loft, and ceiling stains are all consequences of installation shortcuts. Using a qualified local roofer means the work is done to manufacturer specifications and building regulations where applicable.

We provide a written quote before any work starts, with no hidden extras. Most new pitched roofs on a three-bedroom semi take three to five days to complete. We clear all waste and leave the site clean each day. Our work carries a ten-year workmanship guarantee.

A new pitched roof on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newmarket typically costs between £5,500 and £9,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and material choice.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new pitched roof on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newmarket typically costs between £5,500 and £9,000. Larger detached properties, steep pitches, or natural slate materials will increase that figure. We provide a fixed written quote after a free site survey so there are no surprises.
If you're experiencing recurring leaks in different areas, large numbers of cracked or slipped tiles, or your roof is over 40 years old, replacement is usually the better option. Constant repairs add up and rarely fix the underlying issue of degraded felt and aged tiles. We'll give you an honest assessment during a free roof survey.
Minor repairs such as replacing slipped tiles or repointing a ridge section typically cost between £150 and £450 in Newmarket. More involved work such as replacing a chimney flashing or repairing a section of damaged decking will cost more. We provide a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins.
GRP fibreglass flat roofing in Newmarket typically costs between £70 and £110 per square metre, fully installed including decking and edge trims. A standard single-storey extension roof of around 20 square metres would therefore cost in the region of £1,400 to £2,200. We provide a fixed quote after measuring the roof.
For a typical three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newmarket, full fascia, soffit, and guttering replacement usually costs between £800 and £1,400. Detached properties or those with more complex rooflines will cost more. We give a fixed written quote before any work starts so there are no surprises.
Step and cover flashing repairs around a chimney stack in Newmarket typically cost between £200 and £600, depending on how many courses of flashing need replacing and the accessibility of the stack. Full valley or parapet lead replacements cost more and we price these individually after inspection. We provide a written quote before any work starts.
A full chimney rebuild from roof line to pot in Newmarket typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500. The main variables are the height of the stack, whether one or two flues are involved, and the cost of erecting scaffold in your particular access situation. We provide a free survey and fixed written quote before any work begins.
Chimney take-down costs in Newmarket typically range from £1,200 to £2,500 for a standard one- or two-flue stack on a semi-detached or terraced house. The price depends on the height of the stack, how much roof make-good is required, and scaffold access. We include all waste removal in our quotes.
