What's involved

Roof Replacements in Wymondham

Roof replacement becomes the right call when tiles are crumbling, the underlay has completely broken down, timbers are rotten, or when persistent leaks can't be traced to a single fixable fault. It's also the sensible choice when a roof is more than 50 to 60 years old and major repairs would only delay the inevitable. We carry out full roof replacements on houses, bungalows, outbuildings, and extensions throughout Wymondham and the surrounding villages.

The process starts with stripping everything back to the bare rafters. We then inspect each rafter and batten, replacing any that show rot or structural weakness. New breathable roofing membrane goes on first, followed by tiling battens at the correct gauge for the chosen covering. We then tile or slate from eaves to ridge, form new flashings in lead where required, and finish with ridge and hip work. Existing guttering and fascias are protected throughout and checked before we leave site.

Skipping the structural inspection during a re-roof is a false economy. Rotten timbers covered over with new tiles will fail within a few years and can create a damp problem inside the roof void. An experienced roofer will spot weak spots that aren't obvious from ground level.

We strip and re-roof in a way that keeps your home weathertight throughout the job. We work in sections where roof size allows, and we always ensure any stripped area is covered and secured at the end of each working day. Most domestic roof replacements in Wymondham are completed within four to eight working days.

Questions

What people ask first.

For an average semi-detached house, budget somewhere between £5,000 and £9,000, depending on the tile or slate choice and roof size. A larger detached house or one with complex hips and valleys will typically fall in the £9,000 to £14,000 range. We provide a written, itemised quote after a free survey so there are no surprises.
A small bungalow typically costs between £4,500 and £7,000 to re-roof, while an average semi-detached house runs from around £6,000 to £10,000. Larger detached properties or those with multiple hips, valleys, or chimney stacks will cost more. We provide a full written quote after a free site survey.
Simple repairs such as replacing a handful of broken tiles or re-pointing a section of ridge typically cost between £150 and £400. If the repair involves forming new lead flashings around a chimney or valley, expect to pay between £300 and £700 depending on the area involved. We'll give you a clear price before any work starts.
GRP fibreglass tends to cost slightly more per square metre than EPDM rubber, but it creates a fully seamless finish that performs very well in exposed locations. Flat roof installation in Wymondham typically runs between £70 and £120 per square metre depending on the system and detailing involved. For most garages and extensions, the difference in material cost between systems is relatively small compared to the labour involved.
For a typical semi-detached house in Wymondham, expect to pay between £1,500 and £3,500 for a full roofline replacement including guttering and downpipes. Larger detached properties or those with hipped roofs will sit at the higher end. We always survey first and give you a written quote before any work starts.
Chimney flashing replacement in Wymondham generally costs between £300 and £700 for a standard single stack, depending on the size of the chimney and the number of lead sections involved. If the surrounding tiles or mortar pointing also need attention, that will be costed separately. We give you a clear written quote after inspecting the stack.
Most chimney rebuilds in Wymondham fall between £1,200 and £3,500, with scaffolding, new brickwork, lead flashing, and a ventilated cap all included. The main variables are the height of the stack and how far down we need to go to reach sound brickwork. We give a fixed price after inspection so you know exactly what you are paying.
Chimney take-downs in Wymondham generally cost between £900 and £2,500 for a standard single stack on a two-storey house, including scaffolding, demolition, and making good the roof covering. Larger stacks or more complex roof coverings such as plain clay tiles will sit at the higher end. We price each job after seeing the stack so there are no surprises.
