Question 1

How much does a new roof cost in Cambridge?

Accepted Answer

A new roof on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge typically costs between £5,500 and £12,000, depending on the size of the roof, the pitch, and the materials chosen. Natural slate and clay tiles sit at the higher end of that range, while concrete tiles are more affordable. We provide a fixed written quote after a free survey so there are no surprises.

Question 2

How do I know if I need a full roof replacement rather than repairs?

Accepted Answer

If more than 25–30% of your tiles or slates are cracked, slipped, or missing, or if you're getting repeated leaks in different areas despite repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued patching. We'll give you an honest assessment during the free survey — we won't recommend a full replacement if targeted repairs will genuinely solve the problem.

Question 3

How much does a roof repair cost in Cambridge?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends entirely on what's failed. Replacing a few broken tiles typically costs £100–£250. A ridge repoint on a standard terrace runs from £200 to £500. Lead flashing repairs around a chimney stack are usually £150–£400. We always provide a fixed written quote before starting so you know exactly what you're paying.

Question 4

How much does a flat roof cost in Cambridge?

Accepted Answer

Flat roofs in Cambridge typically cost £70–£120 per square metre for EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, including stripping the old covering and disposing of waste. A standard single-storey rear extension roof of around 20 square metres would therefore cost roughly £1,400–£2,400. Torch-on felt systems on larger areas can be slightly cheaper per metre.

Question 5

How much does it cost to replace fascias and soffits in Cambridge?

Accepted Answer

For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge, fascia and soffit replacement typically costs between £800 and £1,800, depending on the linear metres involved and whether you choose uPVC or aluminium. We always provide a written, fixed-price quote after a free survey so there are no surprises on the day.

Question 6

How much does lead flashing repair cost in Cambridge?

Accepted Answer

Replacing lead flashings around a standard chimney stack in Cambridge typically costs between £300 and £600, depending on how many faces need new lead and whether the brickwork pointing also needs attention. A simple step flashing repair on one side can be less. We'll give you a fixed price after inspecting the stack.

Question 7

How much does a chimney rebuild cost in Cambridge?

Accepted Answer

A full chimney rebuild from roof level in Cambridge typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500. The main variables are the height of the stack above the roof, how many courses of brickwork need replacing, and whether the lead flashings also need renewing. We'll give you a firm price after a survey.

Question 8

How much does it cost to take down a chimney stack in Cambridge?

Accepted Answer

A chimney take-down on a standard Cambridge terraced or semi-detached property typically costs between £900 and £2,000. The price depends on the height of the stack, how many pots it carries, and the complexity of making good the roof covering below. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free survey.
