About roof replacement

A full roof replacement is one of the biggest jobs a home ever needs, and the one where choosing the right roofer matters most. A proper re-roof means stripping the old covering, inspecting and repairing the timbers, fitting a modern breathable membrane, re-battening, and re-covering in tile or slate with correctly detailed ridges, verges, valleys and flashings. The roofers we connect you with quote from a proper survey — not a drive-by glance — itemise materials by name, handle scaffolding and building-regs notification, and back the work with a written workmanship guarantee alongside the manufacturer's warranty on materials.

How we help

Find Trusted Roofers is a national network that connects UK homeowners with local roofers. We are not a roofing contractor and we don't do the work ourselves — instead, you tell us about your roof replacement job once, and we match you with a roofer in our network who covers your postcode and works on your roof type. Every roofer quotes from their own survey; you deal directly with them and choose whether to proceed.

We check the roofers in our network against Companies House, confirm public liability insurance, and note any TrustMark, NFRC or CompetentRoofer membership. We verify what we can — we don't guarantee the work, which is contracted directly between you and the roofer.

Available across the UK

We connect homeowners with local roofers offering roof replacement in towns and cities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Browse areas we cover.

Roof Replacement — FAQs

How much does a new roof cost in the UK?
A typical three-bed semi re-roof in concrete tile runs roughly £5,500–£9,000 including scaffolding; clay tile and natural slate cost more. Complex roofs, dormers and chimney details add to the price. Always compare itemised quotes, not single round numbers.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most domestic re-roofs take 5–10 working days once scaffolding is up, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs, or houses with multiple valleys and dormers, can take two to three weeks.
Do I need planning permission to replace my roof?
Usually not if you're replacing like-for-like. You may need permission if you change the roof's appearance significantly, and conservation areas or listed buildings have stricter rules — often requiring matching slate. Building regulations do apply to re-roofing, and your roofer should handle notification.
How do I know my roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
Widespread underlay failure, tiles that have gone porous or delaminated across the whole roof, repeated repairs in different areas, and sagging battens all point to replacement. A trustworthy roofer will show you photographs from the roof itself as evidence either way.
What guarantee should I get with a new roof?
Expect a written workmanship guarantee of at least 10 years from the roofer, plus manufacturer warranties on tiles and membrane which often run 25 years or more. Insurance-backed guarantees are available and worth asking about.
