When a roof reaches the end of its serviceable life, replacement is the most reliable long-term fix. We handle complete roof strip-offs and re-roofs across Newmarket, from interwar semis to modern detached homes. We work efficiently to minimise disruption and protect your property throughout.

Roof replacements become necessary when tiles are cracking, the felt beneath has rotted, or a roof has simply reached 40 to 50 years of age and is causing repeated problems. Many homes in Newmarket still carry their original concrete interlocking tiles from the 1970s and 1980s, and these are now reaching the point where patching is no longer economic. A full replacement gives you a clean slate and decades of reliable performance.
We start by stripping all existing tiles, battens, and felt down to the bare timber structure. We check every rafter for rot, woodworm, and structural movement, replacing any compromised timber before anything goes back on. New breathable roofing membrane is laid across the whole roof, followed by pressure-treated tanalised battens and your chosen tile or slate. All lead flashings around chimneys, dormers, and abutments are replaced at the same time — leaving old lead in place on a new roof is a false economy.
Many homeowners delay replacement and spend more on emergency call-outs over five years than a replacement would have cost. A failed underlay cannot be fixed from the outside — water tracks along the timber and reaches ceilings without any visible tile damage. Professional replacement eliminates the root cause rather than managing symptoms.
We schedule roof replacements to avoid prolonged exposure to the weather, typically completing the strip and re-cover in the same week. We use scaffolding on all two-storey properties as standard. Our replacements come with a ten-year workmanship guarantee and we're fully insured.
A full roof replacement on a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newmarket costs between £6,000 and £10,000, depending on roof area, pitch, and the tile specification chosen.
