Frequently asked questions about our roofing services.
General questions
How much does a new roof cost in Liverpool?
The cost of a new roof in Liverpool varies depending on the size and type of roof. A typical terraced house roof replacement costs between £4,000-£7,000, while a detached house can range from £7,000-£12,000. We offer free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does a roof installation take?
Most residential roof installations take 3-7 days depending on the size and complexity. A simple terraced house might take 3-4 days, while a larger detached property could take up to a week. We’ll give you a precise timeline with your quote.
Do you offer free quotes and site surveys?
Yes, absolutely! All our quotes are free and come with no obligation. We’ll visit your property, assess the work needed, and provide a detailed written quote. There’s no pressure and no hidden costs.
Do you offer emergency roof repairs?
Yes! We offer 24/7 emergency roof repair services across Liverpool and Merseyside. If you have storm damage, a leak, or any urgent roofing issue, call us immediately on 0151 321 1159 and we’ll respond quickly.
Are your roofing services guaranteed?
Absolutely. All our work comes with a written guarantee. We also offer insurance-backed guarantees for added peace of mind at an additional cost. Flat roofing and main roof renewals typically comes with a 20-year guarantee, while other roofing work for example roofline renewals is covered for 10-15 years depending on materials. And most repairs are generally covered anywhere from 6 months to 5 years.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
In most cases, no. Re-roofing or replacing an existing roof with similar materials doesn’t usually require planning permission. However, if you’re changing the roof structure, height, or materials significantly, you may need permission. We can advise on this during your quote.
Flat roofing questions
What type of flat roofing is best?
EPDM rubber roofing and GRP fibreglass are the most durable options, both offering 20-30 year lifespans. EPDM is flexible and cost-effective, while GRP is seamless and extremely durable. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific roof and budget.
How long does flat roofing last?
Modern flat roofing materials are very durable. EPDM rubber roofing lasts 20-30 years, GRP fibreglass lasts 30+ years, and high-performance felt can last 15-20 years when properly installed and maintained.
Can you install flat roofing over existing felt?
Sometimes, yes. If the existing roof structure is sound, we can often overlay new EPDM or felt roofing. However, we’ll always inspect first to ensure the underlying boards and structure are in good condition.
