Signs You Need a Roof Replacement
Not every leak means a whole new roof is needed. Often a targeted repair will do the job, and we will always tell you honestly if that is the case. However, there are some clear signs that a full roof replacement in Croydon or Surrey is the more cost-effective long-term option.
- Widespread slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
- Repeated leaks in different areas of the loft or ceilings
- Sagging roof lines or rotten timbers and battens
- Failed or perished underlay letting in damp and draughts
- Moss, porous tiles and crumbling mortar on ridges and verges
- A roof that is simply reaching the end of its natural lifespan

Putting off a replacement can lead to damp, mould, damaged plaster and costly internal repairs. Installing a new roof at the right time protects the structure of the building and saves you from the distress and expense that a leaky, worn roof causes.
Roofing Materials We Install
We install every new roof in a wide range of styles and materials, and we will help you choose the option that best suits your property, budget and local surroundings.

Slate Roofs
Natural slate is a classic choice on many Victorian and Edwardian homes in Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and across South London. It is long-lasting, attractive and weathers beautifully over time.
Clay, Terracotta and Concrete Tiles
Clay and terracotta tiles offer a warm, traditional look, while concrete tiles are durable and cost-effective. Both are popular on suburban homes in Croydon and Surrey, and we can source tiles to match existing roofs closely.
Shingle and Flat Roofs
We also fit shingle roofs and, for extensions, garages and dormers, modern flat roofing systems. If part of your property has a flat roof, see our flat roof repairs and GRP fibreglass roofing page for more detail.
Our Roof Installation Process
We keep the process clear and straightforward, so you always know what is happening and when.
- 1
Free Survey and Quote
One of our roofers visits your property, inspects the existing roof, discusses what a new roof would involve and talks through your options. We then provide a clear, written, no-obligation quote explaining the work needed and how long it will take.
- 2
Planning and Preparation
Most like-for-like re-roofs do not need planning permission, but changes to the shape, height or materials of a roof, or work on a listed building or in a conservation area, may do. The Planning Portal guidance on roofs is a useful starting point, and we are happy to advise on what applies to your property.
- 3
Strip, Repair and Install
We put scaffolding and protection in place, strip the old coverings, check and repair the timbers, then fit new breathable underlay, battens and your chosen tiles or slates. Ridges, hips, valleys and flashing are finished carefully for a weathertight result.

Clean-Up and Handover
Once the work is complete we clear away all waste, take after photographs and walk you through the finished job. Your new roof is then covered by our ten-year guarantee.
How Much Does a New Roof Cost?
The new roof cost for any property depends on several factors, so we always price each job individually after a survey rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all figure. The main things that affect the price are:
- The size and pitch of the roof and how easy it is to access
- The materials you choose, from concrete tiles to natural slate
- The condition of the timbers and how much repair they need
- Extras such as chimneys, valleys, dormers, skylights and roofline work
- Scaffolding requirements for your street and property

New Roof FAQs
How long does it take to install a new roof?
A typical new roof on a house takes between a few days and two weeks, depending on size, weather and the condition of the timbers. We will give you a clear timescale with your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a roof replacement?
Usually not for a like-for-like replacement. Changes to height, shape or materials, listed buildings and conservation areas can be different, so check with your council or ask us for advice.
Is my new roof guaranteed?
Yes. All of our work comes with a ten-year guarantee, and we are fully insured for every job we carry out.
Can you match the look of my existing roof?
Yes. We carefully match the style, colour and material of your current roof or neighbouring properties so the result blends in with your street.
Should I repair my roof or choose a full roof replacement?
If the problem is limited to a few slipped tiles, a small leak or worn flashing, a repair is usually the sensible choice and we will tell you so. A roof replacement becomes better value when the tiles or slates are failing across the whole roof, the underlay has perished or the timbers are rotten, because repeated repairs on an old roof soon cost more than starting again. During our free survey we check the roof covering, battens, underlay and timbers from the loft, then explain which option makes sense for your home and why.
What does a roof replacement include?
A full roof replacement normally includes scaffolding, stripping the old tiles or slates, checking and repairing the timbers, new breathable underlay and treated battens, your new tiles or slates, and new ridges, hips, valleys and flashing. Where needed we can also replace fascias, soffits and guttering at the same time, which saves putting scaffolding up a second time later. Your written quote lists each item, so you can see exactly what you are paying for before any work starts.
Can I stay in my home while my roof is replaced?
Yes. Almost all of our customers stay at home throughout the work. We keep the roof weathertight at the end of every working day, protect your garden and driveway, and clear waste as we go. We agree working hours and access with you before we start, and we keep neighbours informed where scaffolding sits on a shared boundary.
Do you carry out roof replacement across Croydon and Surrey?
Yes. We replace roofs throughout Croydon, Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and the rest of South London, as well as across Surrey. Wherever you are, the survey and quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.
