When a roof is beyond economical repair, a full replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution. We strip and replace roofs across Ely and the surrounding area, working on everything from Victorian terraces to modern detached houses. All replacements include new underlay, battens, and a written workmanship guarantee.

Roof replacement becomes the right call when tiles are crumbling beyond repair, the underlay has failed across large areas, or ongoing repair bills are adding up faster than a replacement would cost. We carry out full roof strip-offs and replacements across Ely, Soham, Littleport, Sutton, and the surrounding Fenland villages, working on properties of all ages and roof types.
A replacement starts with a full strip of the existing tiles or slates, battens, and degraded underlay down to the bare rafters. We inspect the timberwork at this stage — in older Ely properties, particularly Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the Cathedral quarter, we often find rafter ends or ridge boards that need attention before re-roofing. Once any structural timber repairs are done, we install a new breathable membrane, fresh treated battens, and the agreed tile or slate. Flashings, valleys, ridge, and hips are all renewed as part of the job.
A professional replacement done properly should last 30 to 50 years with minimal maintenance. Cutting corners on underlay specification or leaving suspect timberwork in place just means problems returning within a few years. We don't patch over issues — if we spot something during the strip-off that needs dealing with, we'll show you before we proceed.
We provide a fixed written quote before work starts and keep you updated throughout. Most standard house roof replacements take four to seven working days. We scaffold safely for every job — no ladders-only working on a full replacement. Roof replacements in Ely typically cost between £6,000 and £14,000 depending on size, materials, and the condition of the underlying structure.
