What a new roof costs in Wokingham
The figure covers the full strip and rebuild: scaffold, removal of every old layer, breathable membrane, treated battens, your chosen covering, dry ridge and verge systems and the lead work.
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
- A plain concrete tile covering prices differently to clay tiles or natural slate, so the material choice is the biggest single driver.
- Size, pitch and how easily scaffolding can be erected around the property all feed into the figure.
- The inspection before work begins is what turns a rough idea into a firm price for your roof.

What happens on the day
Replacing a roof takes coordination: scaffolding first, then the strip, then the build back, with the house kept watertight at every stage.
- Safe access goes up firstAn independent scaffold is erected around the eaves before anything comes off, and the space below stays clear for materials and the skip.
- The old covering comes off in stagesTiles, slates, battens and rotted felt are removed a section at a time so the rafters are never left exposed across the whole roof.
- Membrane, battens, then tilesBreathable underlay is rolled out and secured with treated battens set to the gauge of the new covering, then tiles or slate go on and are fixed mechanically.
- Joints sealed, site clearedDry verge caps, a dry ridge and code 4 lead flashing finish the joints, old material goes in the skip and a magnet picks up stray nails before sign off.

Questions about roof replacement
How do I know when patching is no longer enough?
A single slipped tile is a repair. Crumbling felt in the loft, leaks in several rooms or battens gone soft underneath the covering all say the whole roof has reached the end of its life.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Yes, the house stays lived in throughout. Everything happens above ceiling level from the scaffold, so expect daytime noise but no open ceilings inside.
How long does the job take from scaffold up to scaffold down?
A terraced or semi detached house takes three to five working days when the weather cooperates. Detached properties and slate coverings run a little longer.
What if the weather turns while the roof is open?
Sections are stripped one at a time and covered with breathable underlay as soon as they are open, with heavy duty tarpaulins ready for anything sudden.
Does the price include taking away all the old material?
Yes. Stripped tiles, battens, felt and packaging all go into the skip and off site, and a magnetic sweep gathers stray nails before the scaffold is removed.
