When does replacement make more sense than repairs?

When does replacement make more sense than repairs?

The crossover point is typically when repair costs would exceed 35–40% of full replacement cost, or when the roof is over 30 years old and showing widespread issues. Nail sickness on Shrewsbury’s 1960s concrete tile estates is a clear example — once 20–30% of tiles are affected, a full nail-and-re-fix with new underlay is the economical choice over ongoing individual repairs.

Materials and specifications for Shrewsbury housing stock

For Victorian and Edwardian properties in Belle Vue, Monkmoor and the town centre, reclaimed Welsh slate or clay plain tile is the correct specification. For the 1930s semis of Meole Brace and Copthorne, concrete plain tile or modern clay offers excellent performance. For post-war and 1960s estates in Harlescott and Sundorne, high-quality concrete interlocking tile with breathable underlay is the standard recommendation.

What Do Shropshire Homeowners Say About Us?

★★★★★

"Full re-roof on our Victorian terrace using reclaimed Welsh slate to match the originals. The finish is superb and the conservation officer confirmed it met requirements. Very happy."

Mark P. · Belle Vue, Shrewsbury
★★★★★

"Had three quotes for our 1930s semi. These were mid-range on price but the most thorough survey and clearest explanation of what the job involved. Really glad we went with them."

Linda F. · Meole Brace, Shrewsbury
★★★★★

"Concrete tiles were nail-sick across most of the roof. Full replacement job done in five days, left the site immaculate. Exactly the result we wanted."

Robert C. · Harlescott, Shrewsbury

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A typical 3-bed semi in Shrewsbury costs £4,500–£8,000 for a full re-roof depending on size and materials. Larger properties can be £8,000–£15,000. We provide itemised written quotes.

Yes. Scaffold erection, skip hire and waste disposal are all coordinated by us and included in the all-in quote. We manage neighbour notification for scaffold in shared driveways or over boundaries. You do not need to arrange any of this separately.

Call 01743 537230 and describe what you've seen. We'll confirm whether a same-day visit is appropriate or book a survey within 2–3 working days. The surveyor accesses the roof, photographs the defects, and provides a written fixed-price quote the same day or the following morning. There is no call-out charge and no obligation to accept the quote.

Yes. Listed building re-roofs require Like-for-like specification and Listed Building Consent from Shropshire Council. We advise on the correct specification and consent process at survey stage and can assist with the application where required.

Yes. We photograph the roof at strip-out, deck inspection, underlay installation and completion stages. This provides a documented record of the work carried out beneath the new tile covering — useful for insurance, property records and future surveys.

Most 3-bed semis in Shrewsbury take 3–5 days. Larger properties can take 7–10 days. We’ll give you a realistic programme with your written quote.

This depends on whether your property is in the conservation area. In unrestricted areas you have full flexibility. In the Shrewsbury town centre conservation area, like-for-like replacement is typically required. We’ll advise based on your specific property.

Yes, and most clients do. The scaffold is already in place and it makes sense financially to refresh the fascias, soffits and guttering at the same time as the roof.

The Re-Roofing Process Step by Step

1

Survey and specification

We survey the existing roof structure, measure the area, assess batten and rafter condition, and confirm the correct tile specification. For period and conservation area properties, material matching is confirmed before quoting. The survey is free.

2

Scaffold and strip

Scaffold is erected before any tiles are removed. We strip the existing tile covering in sections rather than wholesale — limiting the area of exposed deck at any time. All stripped material is loaded directly to a skip or waste vehicle.

3

Deck and timber inspection

With the tiles off, we inspect battens and rafters thoroughly and replace any that are damaged, soft or undersized. New breathable underlay is laid across the full deck before any new tile is fixed.

4

New tile covering

Tiles are laid from eaves to ridge, with stainless steel ring shank fixings throughout. Ridge and hip work is completed in matching material. Lead flashings are inspected and renewed where required. All work is checked against the specification before scaffold comes down.

5

Guarantee and documentation

A written 10-year workmanship guarantee is issued at completion, along with photographs of the completed work and any underlying issues found and addressed during the job.

Why Homeowners in Shropshire Choose Us

Honest Surveys

We survey every property physically before quoting — never from the ground or from photographs. If repair is the right answer we say so. We do not push replacements when they are not warranted, and we do not recommend repairs when replacement is the more economical decision over a five-year horizon.

Written Fixed Prices

Every quote is written, itemised and fixed before any work starts. No verbal estimates, no day-rate pricing, no additions once the job has begun without prior agreement. You know the exact cost before we lift a tile — and the price does not change unless the scope changes and you agree to it.

Our Own Team

No subcontractors, no agency labour. The team that surveys your roof is the team that carries out the work. We have been building our reputation in Shropshire since 2003 by taking direct responsibility for every job — something a contractor who farms work to subcontractors cannot offer.

10-Year Guarantee

All re-roof and major repair work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee issued at job completion. We are fully insured with £5m public liability cover. NFRC registered. We have been trading in Shropshire for over 20 years — our guarantee means something because we will be here to honour it.

Our Approach: Survey, Quote, Complete

Every job starts with a physical survey — not a quote over the phone, not an estimate from the ground. We access the roof, inspect defects and their causes, check for related issues in surrounding areas, and photograph the condition. The written fixed-price quote is issued the same day or the following morning. Survey visits are free across all Shropshire postcodes with no call-out charge and no obligation to proceed.

We do not use pressure tactics, do not offer day-of discounts to rush a decision, and do not manufacture urgency. If a job can wait two weeks safely we tell you. If it needs addressing immediately we explain exactly why. Every quote is written and itemised — no verbal estimates, no additions once work has started without prior agreement.

Pricing and Payment

All prices are fixed before work starts. For repair jobs under £500, payment is due on completion. For larger jobs — re-roofs, full guttering replacements, chimney rebuilds — a deposit of 10 to 25 percent covers materials, with the balance on satisfactory completion. We never ask for full payment upfront on any job. We accept bank transfer and card. Full VAT receipts are issued at completion on all work.

Any contractor requiring full cash payment upfront, offering large on-the-spot discounts, or approaching you unsolicited at your door should be treated with caution. Legitimate roofing contractors do not operate this way. If you are unsure about a quote you have received, call us on 01743 537230 for an independent assessment.
