How much does a roof replacement cost in Andover?
The price covers the whole job from scaffold to sweep up: stripping to the rafters, new membrane and battens, the covering you choose, dry ridge and verge work and lead flashing.
Part of the rebuild
- Stripping all existing tiles, slates, battens and rotted felt down to the rafters
- Visual inspection of the exposed roof timber framework and wall plates
- Fitting breathable roofing membrane across the entire deck
- Fixing treated counter battens and tile battens to the correct gauge
- Laying new concrete tiles, clay tiles or natural slate
- Fitting dry ridge and dry verge systems for mechanical weather protection
- Installing code 4 lead flashings around chimneys and abutments
- Concrete tiles, clay tiles and natural slate each carry different material costs, so the covering you choose sets a large part of the price.
- Roof size, pitch and access for scaffolding all change the figure, which is why every replacement starts with an inspection.
- If the stripped roof shows timber problems beyond battens, the options are talked through before anything extra is done.

What happens on the day
A full replacement needs clear access around the house for scaffolding, materials and a skip, and the work runs in a set order from setup to sweep up.
- Scaffolding and setupIndependent scaffolding goes up to eaves level to give a safe working platform, and the driveway or path beneath the work area needs to stay clear for deliveries and the skip.
- Stripping the old roofOld tiles, battens and felt come off in sections so no more of the timber is open than needed, and breathable membrane goes on the same day to keep the house dry.
- Fixing the new coveringTreated battens set the gauge for the new tiles or slate, which are fixed mechanically. Dry verges, a dry ridge and leadwork around chimneys seal every joint.
- Sweep up and sign offBroken tiles, old felt and packaging go into the skip, and a magnetic sweep collects stray nails at ground level before the scaffold comes down.

Roof replacement questions answered
Does a roof replacement need planning permission?
A replacement like for like in similar materials falls under permitted development and needs no application. Homes in conservation areas and listed buildings can face restrictions, so that is worth checking first.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
A terraced or semi detached house takes three to five working days in decent weather. Bigger detached roofs and natural slate take a little longer, and rain can add a day.
What happens if it rains while the roof is being replaced?
The roof is stripped in sections, never all at once, and breathable membrane goes on the same day a section is opened. Tarpaulins cover any exposed timber if a shower comes through.
Do the old tiles and materials get taken away?
Yes. Everything that comes off the roof goes into the skip, and the job ends with a magnetic sweep at ground level to pick up stray nails before the scaffolding is removed.
How is the price of a replacement worked out?
The figure reflects the size and pitch of the roof, the covering material you choose and the access needed for scaffolding. An inspection comes first so the price is based on your actual roof.
