FAQs
When is a full re-roof preferable to a roof repair?
A full re-roof is recommended when the existing covering has reached the end of its service life, shows widespread leaking or sagging, or contains multiple layers of patch repairs. In these cases, replacing the entire roof provides a longer-term solution, restores full weatherproofing, and allows us to upgrade insulation and ventilation to current Building Regulations in Harrogate.
What roofing materials can I choose for my Harrogate property?
We install premium concrete tiles, natural or engineered slate, and high-performance GRP/fibreglass or EPDM rubber for flat roof areas. All materials are sourced from leading UK manufacturers, come in colours approved by Harrogate’s planning authority, and are matched to the pitch and style of your home to maximise durability and curb appeal.
How long will a full re-roof take and will my house be exposed to the weather?
Most semi-detached and detached roofs in Harrogate take 3–5 working days. We strip and felt-batten one elevation at a time so your loft is never left open overnight. Waterproof breather membrane is fixed the same day the old tiles are removed, ensuring your property remains weather-tight throughout the project.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Harrogate?
In most cases a like-for-like re-roof is classed as Permitted Development, so no planning permission is needed. Exceptions include listed buildings, homes in designated conservation areas, or when you plan to raise the roof line or change from tile to slate (or vice versa). We handle any required Harrogate Borough Council applications on your behalf and supply all Part L Building Control certificates on completion.
What does a full re-roof cost and what factors affect the price?
In Harrogate, an average three-bed semi re-roof in concrete tiles starts from £7,500 + VAT, while natural slate can range between £10,000–£14,000. Price depends on roof size and pitch, chosen material, the condition of the existing timber structure, access requirements (scaffolding), and any upgrades such as insulation or roof windows. We provide a fixed, written quotation after a free on-site survey so there are no surprises.
What guarantees and aftercare do you provide?
All full re-roofs come with a 10-year labour guarantee backed by insurance, plus manufacturer material warranties of 30–60 years depending on the product. We revisit your roof 12 months after installation for a complimentary inspection, and our Harrogate-based team is on call for any queries or emergency support for the lifetime of your roof.
