Roof Replacements in Cromer

How we handle roof replacements

There comes a point where patching a tired roof stops making financial sense. If you're calling a roofer out two or three times a year, the mortar on the ridge has crumbled away, or the felt underneath has rotted and water is tracking through, a full roof replacement is almost always the more economical long-term decision.

We carry out full roof replacements on properties of all ages across Cromer, Overstrand, Mundesley, Holt and the wider North Norfolk area. The process starts by stripping everything back to the rafters - old tiles, battens and felt all come off. We inspect the timber structure carefully at this point; on older properties it's common to find some rafter ends or fascia boards that need replacing, and we'll always show you what we've found before doing any additional work. New breathable membrane, treated timber battens and your chosen tile or slate then go on in sequence.

A roof replacement carried out properly will last 40 to 60 years. Using a qualified roofer matters because the details - correct batten gauge for the tile profile, adequate ventilation to prevent condensation, properly dressed lead at every junction - are what determine whether it lasts that long or starts failing within a decade.

We erect scaffolding on every replacement job; no shortcuts with ladders on a full strip. Most standard domestic replacements are completed in four to six working days. You'll get a written quote upfront, and we keep you informed if the strip-off reveals anything unexpected. All replacement roofs we install carry a ten-year workmanship guarantee.

Roof replacement in Cromer for a standard three-bedroom house typically costs between £6,000 and £14,000 depending on roof size, materials and the condition of the underlying structure.
