Most new roofs in Woodbridge are a matching exercise before they are anything else. The Georgian townhouses on the Thoroughfare and Church Street carry hand-made clay pantiles and Welsh slate, and both have to be sourced to match rather than substituted, with lime mortar where modern cement would crack straight back out of a soft bed. The Victorian villas in the streets off the Thoroughfare bring deep valleys and complex stacks, usually with lead a previous trade has patched with mastic. Out at Melton, Bredfield and Ufford the period cottages hide the real work: once the pantiles and battens are off, the rafters are often sagged and the original battens are undersized by any modern gauge. That is structural work, and it wants pricing honestly rather than discovering later.

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 large number of Woodbridge properties are Listed, and the town centre, the Thoroughfare and Tide Mill Quay are all conservation areas, so East Suffolk Council conservation officers are involved in anything that changes the covering. Listed Building Consent is a separate application from planning, it takes time, and it is normally where the salvage requirement appears: sound original pantiles set aside and relaid on the elevation facing the street, new tiles used on the rear. We build that into the programme rather than treating it as a delay. Access on the Thoroughfare and Church Street is tight, with no side entry and a live footway, so expect a licensed scaffold and a restricted delivery slot. On the river-facing elevations along the Deben, north slopes stay damp and moss finds the laps, which is a ventilation and pitch question at specification stage, not something to wash off afterwards.
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.”

Yes, if the covering, the material or the detail is changing, and often even for a like-for-like strip where the roof structure is original. Listed Building Consent goes through East Suffolk Council and runs separately from planning permission. We survey, set out what is proposed, and hold the quote open while it is decided rather than starting and stopping.
Usually a proportion of them. Hand-made clay pantiles off a Woodbridge roof are worth salvaging, and a conservation officer will often expect the sound ones back on the street elevation. We sort them as they come off, count what survives, then buy in reclaimed or matched new stock for the shortfall on the rear slopes.
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.
