Replacing a roof is the biggest job most homes ever have done to their exterior, and it rewards good planning more than almost any other project. Done well, it is a once-in-a-generation investment that protects everything beneath it. Done cheaply or hurriedly, it is a decade of small problems. Our approach is survey, quote, approve, then build — with the weather, the structure and the details given the respect they deserve.
When replacement is the right call
Signs that a roof has reached this point include tiles becoming brittle or porous with age, fixings corroding across whole slopes, underlay perished and letting water through at multiple points, repeated repairs producing repeated new leaks, and structural conversations beginning to appear. Age itself matters: most coverings have a design life, and a roof near or past it will keep generating work. We will give you an honest view of where your roof sits — sometimes the honest answer is still another repair, and we will say so rather than sell a replacement you do not need yet.
The survey and the quote
Replacement is quoted as a project after a proper survey. We assess the covering, underlay, battens, timbers and structural condition, the chimneys and details that interact with the roof, the access arrangements, and what lies beneath — because surprises found mid-job cost everyone. The quote sets out the scope in full: stripping the old covering, repairs to timbers and battens, new underlay and battens, the new covering, leadwork and flashings, ridge and verge systems, gutters re-hung, and making good. Parts and materials are itemised separately from labour so you can see exactly what you are approving. Nothing starts until you have approved the quote.
How the work runs
A replacement is normally a multi-day project, and day one is a substantial working day — scaffolding up, access arranged, and stripping or protection started. Weather governs the programme: we schedule work in suitable conditions and will say plainly when rain or wind must pause the job, with the roof made weathertight at every stage end so your home is never left exposed. Old buildings can hold asbestos-cement components in coverings and linings; if we suspect asbestos during survey or stripping, we stop, recommend testing and specialist removal, and do not disturb it.
Materials and choices
Covering choice — concrete tiles, clay tiles, slates or other systems — affects cost, weight, appearance and lifespan, and we will talk through the realistic options for your property, including matching the character of the building and any planning considerations. Planning permission and building regulations are the customer's responsibility to confirm; we do not promise compliance status, but we will flag where questions should be asked before work begins. The structure underneath is checked and repaired to sound condition — a new covering over weak battens or rotten timbers is money wasted.
What we cannot promise
No roof comes with a guarantee against the weather, and settlement, storm damage and future maintenance needs are part of owning a building. What you can expect is sound materials correctly installed, a structure repaired underneath, and honest advice for the life of the roof.
Booking your survey
Call Maintenance Men or book through maintenance-men.com and ask for a roof replacement survey. Tell us the property's age, the current covering, and any problems you have been having. You pay a booking fee when you book, and labour is charged hourly at a rate that depends on how soon you need the visit — the replacement itself is then quoted as a full project after survey, approved by you before work starts, with materials quoted separately.
How the price works
We charge a booking fee to hold your slot, then an hourly rate for the work itself. The fee changes with how soon you need us; the hourly rate changes with the slot you choose. You approve the price before we start, so there is no surprise on the invoice.

When repairs stop making sense, a roof replacement is an investment in decades of dry ceilings and quiet winters. We survey the roof and structure thoroughly, quote the complete project — materials, access, labour and making good — for your approval, and then manage the work day by day in suitable weather.
What our customers say about our outdoor & exterior service
4.6 out of 5 from 10 reviews
Sorted the same day
Rang in the morning and they got to us in Wolverhampton by early afternoon. Very clear about what needed doing, what it would cost and what could wait. No pressure to add extras. Exactly the sort of tradesperson you want.
Job: Uneven Shed Base
Turned up when they said
Turned up in the window they promised, walked me through the options (turns out the previous installer had left the pipework awkward to get to), then cracked on. Everything was tested before they left. No mess, no drama, no surprise on the bill.
Job: Water-Damaged Patio
Good work, poor communication
Work itself was fine and tidy. Communication beforehand was patchy — I did not get the confirmation message and had to ring to check the slot. Would still use again.
Job: Sinking Driveway

Questions people ask about roof replacement
Straight answers to the things customers ask most often before booking.
How do I know my roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
Widespread signs rather than isolated ones: brittle or porous tiles, corroded fixings across slopes, perished underlay leaking at multiple points, and repairs that keep producing new leaks. Our survey gives you an honest verdict — and sometimes the honest answer is that another repair still makes sense, which we will say plainly.
What does a roof replacement survey cover?
The covering, underlay, battens and structural timbers, chimneys and roof details, access requirements and what is beneath the roof structure. The resulting quote itemises the full scope — stripping, structural repairs, new underlay and covering, leadwork, ridges, gutters and making good — with materials listed separately from labour.
How long does a roof replacement take?
It depends on the roof's size, complexity and the weather, and we will give you a realistic programme with the quote. It is normally a multi-day project beginning with a substantial first working day of access and stripping. We schedule around weather and keep the roof weathertight at every stage, pausing safely when conditions demand it.
Do I need planning permission to replace my roof?
Planning and building regulations are the customer's responsibility to confirm, and requirements vary with the property, the covering and any changes to appearance or structure. We will flag where questions should be asked before work begins, but we do not promise compliance status — check with your local authority or a professional adviser.
How is a roof replacement quoted and paid for?
You pay a booking fee when you book, and labour is charged hourly at a rate that depends on how soon you need the visit. The full cost of the work is quoted and approved before work starts, so you approve it before any tools come out, with parts quoted separately.
