Roof Replacements

Roof Replacements

If your roof is leaking repeatedly, losing tiles regularly, or showing signs of structural decay, a full roof replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We carry out complete roof replacements across Mildenhall and Suffolk, using quality materials built to last. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether replacement is genuinely necessary.

What's involved

Roof Replacements in your area

A roof replacement becomes the right call when repair costs are mounting, the structure underneath is deteriorating, or the covering has simply reached the end of its serviceable life. Most concrete tile roofs installed in the 1970s and 1980s are now at or past that point, and many properties in the Mildenhall area still have their original coverings.

We strip the old covering completely, inspect every rafter and the roof deck for rot, woodworm, or movement, and replace any damaged timbers before we start. We then install a new breathable underlay, treated battens, and the new tile or slate covering. We also replace all lead work, ridge, hip, and verge details as part of the replacement — these are not optional extras. Guttering is checked and replaced if necessary.

Skipping a full strip and simply overlaying new tiles on old is a practice that leads to undetected rot, trapped moisture, and premature failure. It also adds unnecessary load to the roof structure. We never overlay without a full inspection, and we'll always tell you honestly if we find problems beneath the surface rather than covering them up.

We offer a free survey and written quote within 48 hours. Most roof replacements on standard domestic properties in Mildenhall take four to six working days. We handle scaffold hire and coordination, remove all waste from site, and provide a ten-year workmanship guarantee on completion. We are fully insured with public liability cover.

A full roof replacement on a three-bedroom detached house in Mildenhall using concrete interlocking tiles typically costs between £7,000 and £12,000, with natural slate adding around 30–40% to material costs.

Questions

What people ask first.

Most standard domestic new roofs take three to five working days from start to finish, including stripping, deck inspection, underlay, battening, and tiling. Larger or more complex roofs with multiple hips, valleys, or chimney stacks can take up to two weeks. We'll give you a realistic programme before we start so you can plan accordingly.
If more than 20–25% of the tiles are cracked, slipping, or missing, the felt underlay has failed in multiple areas, or there is rot in the roof timbers, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued repairs. We'll give you an honest assessment during a free survey rather than recommend work that isn't necessary.
Most standard roof repairs in Mildenhall — including replacing a few tiles, repointing ridge sections, or resealing leadwork — cost between £150 and £600. More involved work such as replacing a full valley or repairing storm damage across a large area typically costs £800–£2,500. We'll give you a written quote after a free inspection so you know the cost before we start.
Flat roof installation in Mildenhall typically costs between £70 and £120 per square metre for EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass systems, including insulation and drainage detailing. A standard single-garage flat roof of around 16 square metres would therefore cost in the region of £1,100–£1,900 fully installed. Traditional torch-on felt is slightly less expensive, though it carries a shorter lifespan.
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Mildenhall, fascia, soffit, and guttering replacement typically costs between £900 and £1,800. The price depends on the total run length, whether the rafter feet need any remedial work, and whether you want uPVC or timber boards. We give fixed quotes before any work starts so there are no surprises.
Lead flashing repairs around a chimney stack typically cost between £250 and £600 in Mildenhall, depending on the size of the stack, how much lead needs replacing, and the ease of access. Re-pointing existing sound lead flashing is at the lower end; full replacement with new Code 4 or Code 5 lead is at the higher end. We'll give you a fixed price after inspecting the work.
A full chimney stack rebuild in Mildenhall, including scaffold, brickwork, new pots, flaunching, and lead flashings, typically costs between £1,500 and £4,000. The main variables are the height of the stack above the roofline, the size of the stack in terms of the number of flues, and whether matching reclaimed brick is needed. We provide a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Chimney stack removal to below roofline level in Mildenhall typically costs between £800 and £2,000 including scaffold, debris removal, and patching the roof covering. Larger stacks with multiple flues, or those on taller properties requiring more extensive scaffold, sit at the higher end of that range. We give a fixed price after surveying the stack so you know exactly what you'll pay.
