We replace roofs across Great Shelford, a prosperous south Cambridge village with a varied mix of substantial Victorian and Edwardian properties alongside interwar and post-war development off Woollards Lane and Cambridge Road.
Great Shelford has a high proportion of detached and large semi-detached properties, many of which carry original clay plain tiles or Welsh blue slate that was laid in the early 20th century. When these materials finally fail — through widespread nail sickness, frost-spalled tiles or slipped battens — the most sensible course is a full roof replacement using reclaimed natural slate or a quality plain tile that preserves the character of the property.
We carry out pre-replacement surveys that identify any felt, batten or rafter issues before work starts, which avoids unexpected cost variations mid-project. Great Shelford homeowners should budget approximately £8,000 to £18,000 for a full replacement on a detached house, depending on roof complexity.
