An ageing roof that's losing tiles regularly or letting water in is best replaced rather than patched. We carry out full roof replacements across Diss and South Norfolk, stripping back to the structure and starting fresh. You'll get a watertight, long-lasting result with a proper guarantee.

Roof replacements are necessary when ongoing repairs are no longer cost-effective — typically when the underlying felt has failed, tiles are brittle and slipping repeatedly, or the roof timbers have been compromised by long-term moisture ingress. Many properties in and around Diss have roofs that are forty or fifty years old, and at that age the felt and fixings are usually at the end of their useful life even if individual tiles look sound.
We strip the roof back to the rafters, inspect every timber and replace any that show rot or splitting. New breathable membrane goes down over the whole roof area before battens and tiles are fixed. Flashings around chimneys, party walls and soil pipes are renewed in lead or code-matched materials. We also check and improve ventilation at eaves and ridge level to meet current standards and protect the new roof from the inside.
A replacement gives you a clean slate — no inherited problems, no patches over old patches. It also adds value and is a selling point that surveyors and buyers notice. Trying to extend the life of a failing roof through repeated repairs typically costs more over five years than a single replacement done properly.
We survey the roof before quoting, so the price we give is based on the actual condition we find, not an estimate made from the ground. Replacement work on a typical Diss semi-detached house usually takes four to six working days. We clear all waste from site and leave gutters clean before we leave.
Roof replacements by Diss Roofers carry a ten-year workmanship guarantee. A full roof replacement on a standard semi-detached house in Diss typically costs between £5,500 and £9,000 depending on tile choice and roof configuration.
