A roof replacement, or re-roof, strips the old tiles or slates, battens and felt from a pitched roof and replaces them with a new breathable membrane, battens and covering, repairing timbers and renewing ridges, valleys and flashings at the same time.
In County Tyrone, we price a new roof against our guide for Northern Ireland, £6,000–£13,000 including VAT, then adjust it once we have surveyed your home. We work across Omagh, Strabane, Dungannon and Cookstown and the rest of the county or region. Planning and building control requirements follow the rules for Northern Ireland, and we look into your property's position before a written quote is sent.

Homes in County Tyrone
Tyrone is largely rural, with detached houses and bungalows on individual plots across the countryside, many finished in render or roughcast. Omagh, Dungannon, Cookstown and Strabane have Victorian terraced streets, post-war estates and newer developments, and stone farmhouses survive in older rural areas.
Rural detached homes commonly take extensions, loft rooms, porches and driveways, and older houses may need re-roofing and re-rendering. Town terraces suit rear extensions and window replacement.
Wet and fairly cool, with upland exposure in the Sperrins and frost common through the winter months.
Do you need permission in County Tyrone?
Which rules apply depends on where you live. For County Tyrone, the answer is Northern Ireland, and the points below reflect that; we verify them with the council before quoting.
In Northern Ireland, re-roofing with similar materials does not usually need planning permission outside listed buildings and conservation areas.
Significant re-roofing should be checked with building control under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?
We look at the job
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about a new roof.
Written quote
We put everything into a written, fixed-price quote: the specification, what's excluded, staged payments and the expected time on site. Take whatever time you need to decide; there's no pressure to commit.
Dates and permissions
We handle the paperwork side: checking whether planning permission or building control approval is needed, submitting applications where they are, and scheduling the trades and materials around your dates.
The work itself
The work is carried out to the agreed specification, with floors and furniture protected and the site kept tidy. At the end we clean up, walk through the finished job with you and hand over any certificates.
What you can expect from us
Frequently asked questions
How long will a new roof last?
A well-installed roof lasts for decades. Concrete tiles typically last around 50 years or more, clay tiles longer, and natural slate can last a century with proper upkeep. Lifespan depends on the quality of materials, fixings, ventilation and leadwork, and on how exposed the roof is. Keeping gutters clear and fixing slipped tiles quickly helps it reach its full life.
What happens if it rains during the work?
We strip the roof in sections and only remove as much covering as we can replace or protect the same day. New breathable membrane goes on straight after stripping, which keeps most rain out, and we sheet exposed areas at the end of each day and before forecast showers. If heavy rain or high winds are forecast, we pause work. The house is never left open.
Do you cover Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon?
Yes. As well as County Tyrone, we cover Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon and the rest of County Tyrone. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.
How much does a new roof cost?
Re-roofing a typical 3-bed semi costs £6,000–£13,000, including scaffolding, new membrane and battens. As a guide, allow roughly £70–£160 per square metre of roof plus fixed costs for scaffolding and waste. Concrete tiles sit at the lower end and natural slate at the top. Hips, valleys, chimneys and timber repairs add to the price. We confirm a fixed figure after inspecting the roof and loft.
What happens at the survey?
We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from a new roof, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.
