Fewer unknowns during a major roof renewal
One planned programme
We coordinate scaffold erection, roof stripping and installation around one job.
Choices explained plainly
We discuss slate, tile and roof details before materials are agreed.
A roof checked underneath
Removing the old covering lets us assess areas hidden from normal view.
When repairs no longer make practical sense
Reroofing a house replaces an ageing or widely deteriorated covering instead of repeatedly patching separate faults. We inspect the visible roof and consider what may need checking once the old slates or tiles come off. This helps you understand whether local repair is still sensible or a complete renewal is the sounder use of your money. Covering choice, ventilation, leadwork and drainage details all matter. For a smaller standard house, a full re-roof will typically fall within the £8,000 to £10,000 guide, although size, access, materials and hidden deterioration can change the final scope.
A clear sequence from stripping to final checks
We begin with an assessment and a free, project-specific quote. If you proceed, we plan scaffold access before removing the old covering. Once exposed, the underlying roof can be checked and prepared for its new weatherproof layers, battens and chosen slates or tiles. We then complete ridges, verges, valleys and lead details before carrying out final checks. Because we can manage both roofing and scaffolding in Exeter, you avoid arranging two separate firms and trying to make their dates line up.
Frequently asked questions
Is the £8,000 to £10,000 figure a fixed reroofing price?
No. It's a useful guide for a smaller standard house, not a fixed price for every property. Roof area, covering choice, access, leadwork and the condition found beneath the old roof all affect your written quotation.
Can we stay at home while the roof is replaced?
Often, yes, although reroofing is noisy and removing the old covering creates disruption. We explain the planned sequence and access arrangements before work begins so you know what to expect around the property.
How do we decide between roof repairs and a full re-roof?
We look at the spread of damage, the age and condition of the covering, recurring leaks and the roof beneath accessible areas. A focused repair may suit isolated damage, while widespread failure can make renewal more sensible.
