Common Problems We Fix
Widespread tile failure
When tiles are delaminating or slipping across the whole roof, ongoing repairs become false economy and a re-roof is the sounder investment.
Sagging or uneven roofline
Dips and waves in the roof suggest failing battens or rafters. A new roof lets us correct the structure as well as the covering.
Recurring leaks
A roof that leaks in a new place each time has usually reached the end of its life. A full replacement resolves the underlying problem.
No underlay or perished felt
Older roofs may have no breathable underlay or perished felt. Re-roofing adds a modern membrane that protects the structure.
Old age
Most pitched roofs last 40–60 years depending on materials. Beyond this, replacement is often more economical than repeated repair.
Severe storm damage
Where wind or impact has damaged a large area, a new roof restores full, guaranteed protection.

How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of a new roof depends on the size and complexity of the roof, the covering you choose — concrete tile, clay tile or natural slate — and whether any structural or timber repairs are needed once the old covering is removed. Scaffolding and waste disposal are also factors.
- The size, pitch and complexity of the roof
- The covering chosen — concrete, clay or natural slate
- Any timber, batten or structural repairs found on strip-off
- Scaffolding, access and waste disposal
- Extras such as new fascias, guttering or insulation

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost?
The cost of a new roof depends on its size and pitch, the covering you choose and any timber repairs needed once the old roof is stripped. Natural slate costs more than concrete tile, and complex roofs with valleys and dormers take longer. City Building and Roofing Ltd provide a free, itemised written quote so there are no surprises.
How long does a new roof take?
A typical domestic re-roof takes around one to two weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, the weather and any structural repairs found when the old covering is removed. We give you a realistic schedule in your quote and keep you updated throughout the works.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Replacing a roof with similar materials is usually permitted development and does not need planning permission. Permission or building control approval may be needed if you change the roof line, alter the materials significantly, or add rooflights or a loft conversion. We will advise you on what is likely to apply.
What roof tiles last the longest?
Natural slate and good-quality clay tiles are among the longest-lasting coverings, often exceeding 80–100 years when properly installed and maintained. Concrete tiles typically last 40–60 years and are more economical. We help you weigh lifespan, appearance and budget when choosing your covering.
How do I know when I need a new roof?
Tell-tale signs include widespread slipped or delaminating tiles, recurring leaks in different places, a sagging roofline, daylight in the loft, perished or missing underlay, and a roof that is simply old. A free inspection will tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense.
Does a new roof add value to a property?
A new roof can make a property easier to sell and more attractive to buyers and surveyors, as it removes a major maintenance concern and can improve energy efficiency. While rarely a profit on its own, it protects the value of the whole building and avoids price reductions for a tired roof.
What is included in a new roof installation?
A full re-roof typically includes scaffolding, stripping the old covering, inspecting and repairing timbers, new breathable underlay and treated battens, new tiles or slate, new flashing, ridge and verge work, and removal of all waste. We confirm exactly what is included in your written quote.
