The mix of new roofs in Newmarket is unlike anywhere else on the map. The Victorian terraces on All Saints Road and off the High Street are slate, failing through nail fatigue rather than the slate wearing out, with shared valley gutters running between properties. The Edwardian villas on Fordham Road are large hipped roofs with long lead hips and cast iron guttering that has to come off and go back. Around the town centre the interwar and post-war stock is concrete tile at end of life on mortar-bedded ridges. Then there are the stable blocks and stud buildings out to Kentford and Moulton, long low slate and profiled-sheet spans most roofers will not quote. Every one gets surveyed from the loft as well as the roof.
CB8 · Suffolk
A re-roof is the one time in fifty years that the structure is visible. Stripping the covering and putting a new one straight back on without checking what is underneath wastes that opportunity, and it is the reason some new roofs sag within a decade.
A re-roof is the one time in fifty years the structure is visible. On the CB8 terraces we expect to find the shared valley and the wall plate before we find a tile problem, and both get priced and agreed before the strip starts. On Fordham Road the leadwork is the job: long hips remade in code 5, and the cast iron taken down, checked and refitted rather than swapped for plastic on a villa that suits neither. Exposure changes the fixing schedule everywhere here. With almost no wind break across the ground by the gallops, ridge, verge and the long low-pitch stable spans go on dry-fix and mechanical clips throughout, never mortar alone. West Suffolk Council is the planning authority, and the High Street and the historic training yards are conservation areas, which catches more stud and stable buildings than owners expect. On a working yard, scaffold and delivery timings are agreed round the horses before anything is booked.
We survey from inside the loft as well as from outside, because the roof structure tells you more than the covering does. The quote is itemised: scaffold, strip and disposal, structural repairs if any, membrane and battens, covering, dry-fix components, leadwork, and making good. You can see exactly what each part costs, and nothing appears halfway through as an extra.
Ventilation is where most new roofs are quietly compromised. A breathable membrane is not a substitute for eaves and ridge ventilation on every build-up, and sealing a roof tight without a path for moisture is how you get condensation dripping onto new insulation. We specify the ventilation as deliberately as we specify the tile.
What moves the price. The three things that move a re-roof price are scaffold, the covering you choose, and what the strip reveals. We give you a fixed price for the first two and an honest, itemised range for the third, agreed with you before anyone touches it.

“Tommy and his team were excellent workers, they replaced my flat roof on my extension, removed spray foam from my loft, and replaced my roof with a new one, also releaded a chimney and removed a chimney. Very friendly team, cleaned up after themselves every day.”
“Within 3 days I had a new dry ridge system installed and a new tiled porch roof. I am very pleased with the work. The team were very professional, very friendly and explained how they planned to complete the work.”
“Responded quickly to my request, arrived to fix the problem early morning the day after my request. Dealt with it quickly and efficiently.”

It depends where it sits and what it is. Agricultural and equestrian buildings have their own permitted development rules, but the High Street and the historic training yards are conservation areas, and West Suffolk Council will look closely at anything visible from them. We establish the designation and the building use before quoting a covering.
It is much cheaper if it is. One lead valley serves both roofs, so relaying your half and lapping into the neighbour's old lead leaves a joint that will fail. If they are not ready, we form a proper edge and quote their side separately. Both options go to you with photographs before the scaffold is booked.
A typical semi-detached is four to seven working days once scaffold is up, weather permitting. Larger period properties with complex leadwork run longer, and we give you the programme in writing before we start.
We only ever strip what we can make watertight the same day, and the roof is sheeted overnight. That is why we work in sections rather than stripping the whole roof on day one.
