When Is a Roof Replacement Necessary?
A roof replacement is needed when repairs are no longer enough to keep your building safe and sound.
A key sign is frequent, heavy damage, such as rotting timbers, widespread leaks or missing tiles across large sections. When repairs become costly and frequent, replacing the roof is often cheaper and more practical in the long term.
Roofs endure a lot of wear and tear, and parts such as slates, stones, tiles or beams will need replacing. We deal with these issues quickly.
Your roof's age matters too. Many roofing materials have a life span, and once they deteriorate past it, the roof may no longer be effective. If your roof is over 20-30 years old and still showing wear and tear, a replacement may be the best option.
Other signs include severe weather damage, persistent sagging, or ongoing problems with ventilation or insulation. A weak or inefficient roof can deteriorate further and sky-rocket your energy costs. A modern, durable system will save you money and protect you better.
Types of Roofs We Replace
We have the skills and tools to replace many types of roof. Tiles are one of the most common materials, and weather exposure can damage them. If your roof has clay, concrete or slate tiles, we can install a brand-new, durable system that improves its appearance and protects your home.
We also replace flat roofs often, especially on commercial buildings, garages and extensions. Older flat roofing materials deteriorate once they reach the end of their lifespan, causing water pooling and leaks. We offer GRP fibreglass, high-performance felt and EPDM rubber.
Our team also replaces pitched roofs, which are designed for durability and drainage. If your roof structure has reached the end of its life, or has too much storm damage for a quick repair, we'll provide a reliable replacement.
Materials We Use for Roof Replacement
Flat Roofers Basingstoke uses high-quality materials for your roof replacement, chosen for weather resistance, durability and a long-lasting finish.
Concrete and clay tiles are popular with building owners and designers. They protect well against the elements and improve the property's appearance. They come in various shades, styles and colours to match your design.
For flatter roofs, we use GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and high-performance felt. EPDM rubber is very flexible and resists extreme weather, while GRP fibreglass gives a durable, smooth surface that prevents leaks. They suit extensions, garages and commercial properties.
We also work with slate roofing, a traditional choice known for its longevity and natural appearance. Slate is highly resistant, so it suits harsh weather, and it can last for many decades.
Whatever the material, our team will give you an efficient, professional installation.
Cost of Roof Replacement
In the UK, the cost of a roof replacement varies with the materials, the size of the roof and the complexity of the installation. On average, replacing a tiled roof on a standard three-bedroom home can cost between £5,000 to £12,000. The extent of the work and the tiles chosen affect the price.
Flat roofs are usually cheaper, at around £1,500 to £4,000, especially for smaller areas like extensions or garages. EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass often cost more than traditional felt roofing, as they are a little more durable.
Property condition, access and extra insulation can also raise the cost of roof replacement. A complete quote covers materials, labour and any scaffolding. A brand-new roof can be costly, but it reduces the need for frequent repairs and lasts longer.
