Full Roof Replacement

When repeated repairs no longer make sense, a full roof replacement is the right call. If your roof is 40+ years old, has multiple slipped or cracked tiles across several sections, sagging timbers, or a failing felt underlay, patching it again is just throwing money at a problem that will keep returning.

A full roof replacement from Evercrest Property Care strips the roof back to the rafters, replaces the breathable membrane and battens, and re-covers with new tiles or slates. We assess and repair any damaged timbers, upgrade ventilation, and bring the whole roof up to current building standards, not just patch it back to how it was.

Fred has overseen hundreds of replacement roofs across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. He knows which tile profiles suit local properties, how to detail eaves and ridges so they don't fail in coastal winds, and how to phase the work so your home stays watertight throughout. Every replacement comes with a written workmanship guarantee.

How much does a full roof replacement cost?

For a typical 3-bed semi in Lincolnshire, a full roof replacement usually falls between £6,500 and £12,000 depending on tile choice, pitch and access. Larger detached homes and complex roofs can be £15,000+. We provide a free, fully itemised written quote so you know exactly what's included.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most domestic roof replacements take 5–10 working days from scaffold up to scaffold down, weather permitting. We always keep the roof watertight overnight and won't leave your home exposed.

Do I need planning permission to replace my roof?

A like-for-like replacement is normally permitted development and doesn't need planning. If you're changing the roofline, adding rooflights or live in a conservation area or listed building, permission may be required, we'll guide you through it.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

If problems are localised and the roof is under 25 years old, repair is usually the better value choice. If you have multiple failing areas, sagging, or the underlay has perished, replacement is more cost-effective long-term than repeated repairs.

Will the work disrupt my home?

There's some noise during stripping and tiling, but you can stay in the property throughout. We protect gardens and driveways, contain debris, and clean up daily.
