When a Cambridge roof needs replacing
Most roofs give plenty of warning. Widespread slipped or delaminating slates, sagging between the rafters, daylight in the loft, and repair bills that keep coming are the usual signs. On the older terraces around Mill Road, Romsey and Cherry Hinton we often find the original Victorian slate has simply reached the end of its life, with the nails rusted through, what roofers call nail sickness.
What a re-roof includes
A proper re-roof is more than a new covering. We strip the old roof, fit a breathable membrane and new treated battens, renew all the lead flashings, add ridge and eaves ventilation to stop condensation, and finish in your chosen tile or slate. On a typical Cambridge terrace the work usually takes around a week, weather depending.
Insulation and Part L
Because a re-roof replaces more than a quarter of the roof, the Building Regulations require the insulation to be brought up to current standards under Part L. This is good news for your heating bills and your EPC rating. The government guidance is in Approved Document L. If your home is listed or in a conservation area we will match the original materials and handle the planning side.
How long a new roof lasts
A new natural slate roof can last 80 to 100 years, clay tile 60 years or more, and concrete tile 40 to 60. A re-roof is a once-in-a-generation job, so it pays to have it done by people who will still be here if you ever need them.
"We treat every re-roof like it is our own house. New membrane, new battens, proper ventilation and fresh leadwork, not just tiles slapped back on. That is the difference between a roof that lasts 20 years and one that lasts 60," says the lead roofer at Alpha Roofing.

Trusted across Cambridge
Spotted a leak before the storms hit, called Alpha and they were round the next morning. Tidy, friendly, and a fair price. Wouldn't use anyone else.
Full re-roof on our 1930s semi. The team explained everything, stuck to the quote, and left the garden cleaner than they found it. Genuinely lovely lads.
Had VELUX windows fitted in the loft conversion. Faultless work, no mess, and they sorted everything themselves. Highly recommend to anyone in Cambridge.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a new roof cost in Cambridge?
It depends on the size of the roof, the material and access, so a full re-roof on a terrace costs less than a large detached home. We give a free, fixed-price quote in writing after a proper survey, with no obligation.
How long does a re-roof take?
A typical Cambridge terrace usually takes around a week, weather permitting. We will give you a clear timescale with your quote and keep you posted as the job runs.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
A like-for-like re-roof normally does not, but if you change the material or your home is listed or in a conservation area, permission may be needed. We sort this out with you before we start.
Will a new roof improve my EPC rating?
Usually yes. A re-roof has to meet current insulation standards under Part L, which improves the energy efficiency of the home and can lift your EPC rating.
