What's involved

New Roofs in your area

A new roof is one of the most significant investments you'll make in a property, and getting the specification right from the start determines how long it lasts. We install new roofs on everything from Victorian terraces in the Traverse area to modern new-builds on the outskirts of town, as well as garages, extensions, and outbuildings across the surrounding villages.

The work typically begins with a full structural check of the rafters and decking before any new materials go on. We strip back to the bare timbers where needed, replace any damaged sections, and install the chosen covering — whether that's concrete or clay plain tiles, interlocking tiles, natural slate, or a modern synthetic alternative. We fit new underlay, battens, ridge, valleys, and flashings as standard. We don't cut corners on the details because that's where most leaks start.

Having a professional install your new roof isn't just about the physical work — it's about getting the right materials specified for the pitch and exposure of your particular property, ensuring your warranty is valid, and having someone accountable if anything goes wrong. DIY or cut-price roofing often leads to expensive remedial work within a few years.

We'll visit your property to assess the roof structure, discuss your material options and budget, and provide a written quote with no obligation. Most residential new roofs in Bury St Edmunds take between three and seven days depending on size and access. We're fully insured and offer a workmanship guarantee on all new roof installations.

A new pitched roof installation in Bury St Edmunds typically costs between £5,000 and £14,000 depending on size, pitch, and the roofing material chosen.

Questions

What people ask first.

A new pitched roof on an average three-bedroom semi in Bury St Edmunds typically costs between £5,000 and £10,000, depending on the size, pitch, and materials used. Slate and clay tiles sit at the higher end; concrete interlocking tiles are more affordable. We'll give you a fixed written quote after a free site survey so there are no surprises.
If more than 25–30% of the tiles are cracked, slipping, or missing, if there are multiple active leaks, or if the timbers underneath are rotten or sagging, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repairs. A free inspection from us will give you an honest assessment — we'll tell you clearly whether a repair will genuinely fix the problem or just delay the inevitable.
Simple repairs like replacing a few broken tiles or re-bedding a section of ridge typically cost between £150 and £400. More involved work such as chimney flashing replacement or repairing a leaking valley usually falls between £400 and £1,200. We'll give you a fixed price after inspecting the roof so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.
Flat roof replacement using EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass in Bury St Edmunds typically costs between £70 and £110 per square metre, including stripping the old roof, replacing any rotten deck, and installing the new system. A standard single garage roof of around 15 square metres usually costs between £1,100 and £1,700 all in. We'll give you a fixed quote after a free site survey.
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached in Bury St Edmunds, you should budget between £900 and £1,800 for a full fascia, soffit, and guttering replacement. The price depends on the size of the property, whether there are any rotten rafter feet to repair, and which products you choose. We provide a written, itemised quote before any work starts.
Lead flashing replacement around a chimney stack typically costs between £250 and £600 in Bury St Edmunds, depending on the size of the stack and how much lead needs replacing. A full valley re-lead on a larger property will cost more — usually £400 to £900. We provide a written quote after a free roof survey so you know the exact cost before we start.
A full chimney stack rebuild in Bury St Edmunds typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500. The main variables are the height of the stack, how many courses need rebuilding, and whether you need reclaimed brick to match the original. The quote includes scaffold hire, new lead flashings, and re-pointing — there are no hidden extras.
A chimney take-down on a typical semi-detached house in Bury St Edmunds costs between £800 and £1,800, including scaffold hire, safe demolition, internal capping, and re-tiling the roof opening. The price varies depending on the height and size of the stack and how complex the roof infill is. We provide a fixed written quote after a free site visit.
