A new roof is one of the most significant investments you'll make in a property, and getting the specification right from the start saves money and headaches down the line. We install new roofs across Ely and the surrounding Fenland villages for self-builds, extensions, outbuildings, and full house builds where the existing structure has been stripped back to the rafters.
The work starts with an assessment of the roof structure — rafters, joists, and any existing decking — before we agree on the tile or slate specification with you. In Ely and across Cambridgeshire, concrete interlocking tiles are a popular choice for new builds given their durability and cost-effectiveness, while natural Welsh slate suits period-style properties. We install breathable underlays, correct lead flashings around chimneys and abutments, and fit all ridge and hip tiles with mortar or a dry-fix system depending on the pitch and exposure of the roof.
Using a professional roofer for a new installation matters beyond just the physical work. Incorrectly installed flashings and poorly ventilated roof spaces are the two most common causes of premature roof failure — issues that won't show up until damp has already caused structural damage. We ensure ventilation is calculated correctly for the roof type and that all work meets current Building Regulations where applicable.
Once we've agreed the spec and materials, most new roof installations on a standard three-bedroom house take three to five working days. We provide a written quotation before any work begins, and all our new roof installations carry a ten-year workmanship guarantee. New roofs in Ely typically cost between £5,500 and £12,000 depending on size, pitch, and tile specification. Call us to arrange a free site survey and written quote.
