How much does a new roof cost in York?+
A typical semi-detached new roof in York starts around £6,500 including scaffold, strip-out, breathable membrane, new battens, concrete interlocking tiles and dry-fix ridges. Pantile and natural slate replacements sit higher. Every quote is fixed in writing before work starts.
How long does a full new roof take?+
Most standard three-bed properties are stripped, re-membraned and re-tiled in 5 to 7 working days, weather dependent. Complex roofs with dormers, valleys or chimney work run 8 to 14 days. Your quote gives the exact schedule.
Will my house be exposed overnight?+
No. We plan every strip-and-cover so a full weather cover, either fully re-tiled or a heavy-duty tarpaulin correctly fixed, is in place at the end of every working day.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?+
Standard like-for-like re-roofs are permitted development in almost all cases. Changes of material (e.g. concrete tile to natural slate) or roofs in conservation areas can need consent, we'll flag it on survey and, if you'd like, we handle the application.
How long will a new roof last?+
A properly specified new roof carries a service life of 40 to 60 years, and often longer with natural slate. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years in writing, and materials carry their own manufacturer warranty.
Do you handle re-roofs on listed and conservation-area property?+
Yes. We match tile, slate and detailing to the original, work closely with the conservation officer where required, and use lime mortar and traditional lead where a modern equivalent isn't appropriate.
Can you re-roof around solar panels?+
Yes, we remove and refit solar arrays as part of a new roof, or coordinate with your installer. We'll set that out clearly on the quote so there are no surprises.
Is scaffolding included in the price?+
Always. Every quote includes full scaffold, edge protection, waste removal and skip permits where needed, one fixed number covers the whole job.
