Honest advice

Do You Actually Need Roof Replacement?

A full re-roof is a major spend, so the first question is whether you actually need one. On Leicester's stock the answer usually turns on nail sickness, failed underfelt, or repeated repairs no longer holding.

When it is not the answer: If the covering is generally sound with only isolated failures, a re-roof is oversell — a targeted repair is the honest, cheaper answer Read the full guide.

The process

What to Expect: Roof Replacement in Leicester

1. Free survey

We assess covering, underfelt, timbers and the fixing condition to confirm a re-roof is genuinely needed — and tell you honestly if it is not.

2. Written itemised quote

A fixed price covering strip-off, membrane, battens, covering, leadwork, scaffold and waste — with the VAT position confirmed.

3. Scheduling & scaffold

We book the job and erect scaffold, arranging any footpath licence from Leicester City Council on terraced streets.

4. Strip & re-cover

We strip the old roof, inspect and repair timbers, then fit breathable membrane, new battens and the covering.

5. Cleanup, sign-off & guarantee

Scaffold down, site cleared, and a written 10-year workmanship guarantee handed over.

Timescales

Typical Timescales

JobTypical duration
2-bed terrace re-roof3–5 days
3-bed semi re-roof5–8 days
Larger detached / complex cut roof7–12 days
Scaffold erection / removalhalf a day to a day each

Sustained rain pauses stripping and tiling; we never strip more roof than we can make watertight the same day.

Access

Access, Scaffolding & Permits in Leicester

A full re-roof always needs scaffold for safe access and to load materials; it is included and itemised in the quote. Scaffold is specified for: every full re-roof — it is a legal work-at-height requirement, never an optional extra - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

Victorian terraces in Highfields and Belgrave mean rear-access scaffold and permit-controlled pavement space; the open post-war estates at Braunstone and Thurmaston are more straightforward to scaffold. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Leicester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like East Park Road, Narborough Road, the terraced streets off London Road where space is tight.

Pricing

Roof Replacement Prices in Leicester

2-bed terrace (concrete tile)£5,000–£8,500Supplied & fitted
3-bed semi (concrete tile)£6,500–£11,500Incl. scaffold & waste

What moves the price

Worked example: A mid-terrace Victorian property off East Park Road, re-roofed in matching clay plain tile with two lead valleys re-run and the chimney repointed in lime, typically lands at £10,000–£13,500 including scaffold licence and waste.

Staged payments on re-roofs — nothing up front before materials are on site. Re-roofing an existing home usually qualifies for 5% VAT rather than 20%; we confirm in writing.

Guarantee

Your Guarantee, Explained

The complete re-roof carries a 10-year written workmanship guarantee, transferable if you sell; the covering and membrane carry manufacturer warranties on top.

If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.

Good to know

What It Is Like While We Work

A re-roof means scaffold up for a couple of weeks, some noise during stripping, and a skip on site — we protect the garden and drive and keep the working area sheeted. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.

Re-roofs run most of the year; deep winter frost can delay mortar bedding, which is why we use dry-fix ridge and verge systems. Leicester’s inland Midlands position means wind-driven rain is the main roofing stress rather than coastal salt.

Roof Replacement Specialists in Eyres Monsell

Eyres Monsell is a 1960s local authority housing estate in south Leicester. The housing stock is predominantly two and three-bedroom semi-detached with concrete interlocking tile roofs. A decade newer than Braunstone, nail sickness is now progressing to critical stage across the estate β€” the 60-year-old steel fixing nails are corroding at scale and tiles are beginning to displace in storm conditions.

Roof Replacement in Eyres Monsell — What We Find

1960s Eyres Monsell semi-detached re-roofs use concrete interlocking tile as the standard specification. The age of the housing stock means underfelt, battens and fixing nails have all reached end of life simultaneously β€” full replacement including all secondary elements is the economically sound approach.

Eyres Monsell: 1960s Estate Roofing

Eyres Monsell is a 1960s local authority housing estate in south Leicester. The housing stock β€” predominantly two and three-bedroom semis with concrete interlocking tile roofs β€” is a decade newer than Braunstone but is now entering the same nail sickness progression. The steel fixing nails from 1960s Leicester council housing are 60+ years old and corroding across the estate. Unlike Braunstone where nail sickness is well advanced, Eyres Monsell is at the stage where proactive intervention is most cost-effective β€” many properties have tiles that are close to but not yet at displacement stage, making re-nailing before the first storm displacement significantly cheaper than the same work plus emergency call-out.

How to Get a Quote From Us

The Process From First Call to Written Quote

Our quoting process is straightforward and quick. Call 0116 319 1348 to book a free survey β€” we typically confirm a visit within 24–48 hours and can often attend within the same week for standard jobs. The survey takes 20–45 minutes depending on the scope of work, and we provide a written itemised quote within 48 hours of the visit.

The written quote specifies every element of the work: scope, materials by name, access method, guarantee period and payment terms. We never start work without written acceptance of the quote. We don't require payment in full before work starts — a reasonable deposit of 10–25% covers material ordering, with final payment on satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfer and card payment and provide a VAT invoice on all work.

What Happens After You Accept a Quote

Once you accept the written quote, we schedule the work and confirm a start date. For larger jobs involving scaffold, we confirm scaffold erection dates separately. We contact you the working day before the start date to confirm the team is attending. On the day, the lead roofer will introduce themselves and walk through the planned work before starting. Any unexpected findings — structural timber problems, additional lead work required — are communicated immediately with a written price before any additional work is carried out. We don't make decisions on site without your knowledge and approval.
