We install new roofs on extensions, new-build properties, and outbuildings throughout Lowestoft and coastal Suffolk. Every installation is planned and priced properly upfront, using materials suited to the local coastal environment.
A new roof installation is needed when you're building an extension, adding a garden room or outbuilding, or constructing a new property. It's also the right option for any existing roof where the structure, battens, and felt have all deteriorated together and a piecemeal repair approach no longer makes sense.
New installations in Lowestoft typically involve stripping any existing covering, inspecting and where necessary repairing or replacing the rafter structure and any compromised decking, fitting new breathable roofing felt, and then battening and laying the chosen tile or slate. We work with concrete interlocking tiles, clay plain tiles, natural slate, and fibre cement slate - the right choice depends on your roof pitch, planning constraints, and budget. For Lowestoft properties near the seafront or in conservation areas, we're familiar with the requirements and can advise accordingly.
A properly installed roof requires correct batten gauge, accurate hip and ridge cutting, well-dressed flashing at all abutments, and properly ventilated eaves and ridge. These details determine whether a roof performs for 30 years or starts causing problems within five.
We carry out a site visit to measure and assess the roof before pricing. You receive a detailed written quotation broken down by material and labour, and we agree a start date before any deposit changes hands. Scaffold is arranged and managed by us. Installation timelines vary - a single-storey extension roof typically takes two to three days, while a full detached house roof takes four to seven days depending on size and specification. We handle building control notification where required.
A new roof installation on a typical Lowestoft semi-detached house costs between £6,000 and £12,000 fully installed, depending on roof area, tile choice, and whether any structural work is needed.
