Material Choices: Slate, Clay, and Concrete Tiles

  • We offer a complete range of pitched roofing solutions. For heritage properties in Norfolk and Suffolk, we recommend natural or high-quality imitation slate for a classic, long-lasting finish. Clay tiles provide traditional colour and texture, while concrete tiles offer a highly durable, cost-effective option available in modern profiles and colours. We supply tiles in various shades, including popular Terracotta Red, Deep Charcoal, and subtle Greys, ensuring we match local architectural styles.

Modern Techniques and Ventilation

  • A full re-roof by our experts involves installing breathable, vapour-permeable underlays, and secure dry-fix ridge and verge systems — eliminating the need for mortar and vastly improving weather resistance. We ensure adequate loft ventilation (via continuous eaves or tile vents) to prevent condensation and timber decay, essential for the longevity of homes in the often damp East Anglian climate.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for a full re-roof varies significantly based on roof size, pitch, and material choice. We never provide a price without seeing the property first — our free, detailed on-site survey allows us to accurately assess the condition of the existing timbers, measure the roof area, and provide a fixed written quotation. For a typical 3-bed semi, re-roofing costs generally range from £6,000–£12,000 depending on tile choice.

For traditional Norfolk and Suffolk homes, natural slate offers the most authentic heritage look and can last over 100 years, though it's the premium option. Plain clay tiles are another excellent choice for period properties, providing a warm, traditional appearance. For a more cost-effective solution, high-quality concrete interlocking tiles now come in a wide range of styles and colours that closely mimic slate or clay at a fraction of the cost.

In most cases, like-for-like re-roofing does not require planning permission, as it falls under permitted development. However, if you are in a conservation area, a listed building, or if the re-roof alters the roof height or materials significantly, planning permission may be needed. Building control approval is typically required for full structural re-roofs. We handle all necessary applications and inspections on your behalf, ensuring full compliance with current building regulations.

Absolutely. We are fully insured with comprehensive public liability insurance, and all our re-roofing work comes with a 10-year workmanship guarantee. Our work is carried out in compliance with BS 5534 (the UK standard for slating and tiling), and we provide full certification on completion.

Most domestic re-roofs take one to two weeks, depending on roof size, material choice, and weather conditions.
