How long does a re-roof take?

A typical terraced or semi-detached re-roof takes around one to two weeks, weather permitting. We give you a realistic timescale with your quote.

Concrete tile, natural slate or a flat roof, which should I choose?

It depends on the property and the roof. Concrete tiles are hard-wearing and cost less, natural slate lasts longest and suits period homes, and flat systems suit extensions and dormers. We talk you through what fits your home and budget.

Will you match my existing tiles?

For a partial re-roof we do our best to match the profile and colour. For a full re-roof you can choose a fresh covering across the whole roof.

Do you provide the scaffolding for a new roof?

Yes. Safe scaffold access is part of the job and is included in your written quote, so there is nothing extra for you to arrange.

Is a new roof guaranteed?

Yes. All of our work is guaranteed, and we walk the finished roof with you before we clear the site and sign off.

How much do new roofs cost?

New roofs are priced per property rather than off a list. The cost depends on the size, pitch and shape of your roof, the covering you choose, how much scaffold the job needs, and any timber or leadwork repairs found once the old covering is off. We survey the roof free of charge, then put a fixed, itemised price in writing so you can see exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.

How long do new roofs last?

It depends on the covering. Concrete tiles typically give around 40 to 60 years, clay tiles often well over a century, and natural slate can outlast the building beneath it. Flat roof systems are shorter lived, with modern GRP fibreglass usually rated around 25 to 30 years. Lifespan also rests on the parts you never see, the membrane, the battens and the leadwork, which is why we replace those rather than covering them up.

What fitting new roofs in Ware involves

Every re-roof starts by stripping the old covering back and checking what is underneath. Rotten battens and tired rafters are replaced, a breathable membrane goes on so the roof space can vent, and we re-batten to the correct gauge for your covering.

The details are what make new roofs last. Ridge bedded and pointed, verges closed, valleys dressed, fresh lead to chimneys and abutments. None of that is visible from the ground, and all of it decides whether a roof reaches thirty years or sixty.

What we check before quoting in Ware

Rafters and battens for rot, sag or undersizing
Chimney abutments packed with mortar instead of lead
Valleys that have been patched rather than properly relaid
Ventilation, so the new roof space does not trap moisture

We look for all of it at the survey stage, so the written price you accept is the price you pay.

Choosing a covering

Most new roofs in Ware come down to one of three coverings. We will tell you honestly which we would fit on your own house.

Clay and concrete tile

Hard wearing and the most common choice locally. Clay colour is burnt in, so it never washes out. Concrete costs less and still gives decades.

Natural slate

Fireproof and fully waterproof, and it shrugs off high winds and driving rain. Suits period homes, and lasts longer than anything else we fit.

Flat roof systems

GRP fibreglass and felt for extensions, garages and dormers. Quicker to install, cheaper to maintain, and solar-ready if you want it later.

What affects the cost of new roofs in Ware

No two roofs price the same, and anyone quoting over the phone without seeing yours is guessing. Four things move the number:

Size, pitch and shape, and how many valleys and hips the roof has
The covering you choose, from concrete tile to natural slate
Access, and how much scaffold is needed to work safely
Any chimney, leadwork or timber repairs found once the roof is stripped
