4.4 (68)
Falkirk & Central Scotland

When a roof is past patching, we strip back to the rafters and rebuild properly: new sarking boards, breathable membrane, battens, then slate or tile through to a finished ridge. Built to handle a Forth Valley winter, not just pass a first inspection.

What's included

  • Full strip and re-roof
  • New sarking boards and breathable membrane
  • Slate or concrete tile installation
  • New-build roofing
  • Roof line and pitch changes
  • Skip and waste disposal included
£4,000 - £18,000+

A full new roof installation on a standard semi runs from roughly four to twelve thousand pounds, driven mainly by roof size, pitch, and material choice between concrete tile and natural slate. Bigger detached properties and complex roof lines cost more.

New Roof Installation FAQs

Can't find it? Call us on 07884 463991

When does a roof need full replacement rather than repair?

When the sarking boards have failed, slates are widely cracked or slipping, or repairs would cost close to a full re-roof anyway.

How much does a new roof cost?

Typically £4,000 to £18,000 or more, depending on size, pitch and material choice between concrete tile and natural slate.

Do you install both slate and concrete tile?

Yes, and we'll talk through the difference in cost and lifespan for your property.

Does the price include scaffolding and waste disposal?

Yes, our written quotes include scaffolding and skip or waste disposal costs, not just materials and labour.

How long does a full re-roof take?

Most standard house re-roofs take several days to around a week, depending on size and weather.

Do you handle new-build roofing too?

Yes, alongside re-roofing existing properties, we install roofs on new-build projects.

What's included in the sarking and membrane upgrade?

New sarking boards and a breathable membrane underneath the new covering, which improves both weatherproofing and ventilation.

Can you change the roof pitch or line during a re-roof?

In some cases, yes - we'll advise what's structurally possible during the survey.

Will you match my roof to neighbouring properties?

Yes, on terraces and semis we can match material and colour to the properties either side where required.

How do I book a new roof installation?
