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.
We take on a new roof throughout Beverley and the surrounding HU17 postcodes, as well as in Hull, Brough and Bridlington. The guide range for this work in Yorkshire and the Humber is £6,600–£14,000 including VAT; where your project falls depends on its size, the materials you pick and how easy the site is to reach. A free survey turns that range into a fixed figure.

What are homes like around Beverley?
Hull has large areas of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many arranged in the city's distinctive short cul-de-sac terraces running off the main streets, plus extensive interwar and post-war estates. Beverley keeps Georgian brick houses, Wolds villages use chalk and brick, and red clay pantile roofs are common across the area. Coastal towns such as Bridlington mix guest-house terraces with bungalows.
Much of the area is low-lying near the Humber and coast, with flood risk, cold easterly winds and an eroding Holderness coastline.
In Beverley, as elsewhere in East Riding of Yorkshire, we take the building's age and construction into account before recommending anything, because both can change what is involved in a new roof.
Permissions for a new roof in Beverley
As Beverley is in England, read the following with that system of planning and building control in mind. We check what applies to your house with the council before you receive a quote.
Re-roofing a house with similar materials does not usually need planning permission in England. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent if the covering changes.
Replacing more than a quarter of a roof’s covering counts as renovation under Building Regulations, so the work is notified and the roof insulation may need upgrading. 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.
From survey to handover
We look at the job
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for a new roof, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Quote in writing
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.
Booking the work
Next comes planning the work itself. We set a start date that suits you, line up the right trades, and make sure any approvals for a new roof are in place before the first day on site.
On site to finish
During the work we protect the areas around it and tidy up at the end of each day. Once complete, we check the finish, remove our materials and hand over paperwork such as building control sign-off where it applies.
What you can expect from us
Roof replacement in Beverley: questions
Can I stay at home during the work?
In most cases, yes. Most people can live at home throughout, and we plan the work to keep disruption down by protecting floors, agreeing working hours and keeping access routes clear. Bigger jobs affecting kitchens, bathrooms or heating may mean a short spell with reduced facilities, and we talk this through with you at the survey.
Do you cover Hull, Brough and Bridlington?
Yes. As well as Beverley, we cover Hull, Brough and Bridlington and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. 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 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.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Re-roofing a typical semi-detached house takes around one to two weeks once scaffolding is up, depending on the roof's size, complexity and the weather. Smaller terraced roofs can take a few days. Scaffolding usually goes up a day or two before work starts and comes down once everything is inspected. We give you a programme and keep the roof weathertight overnight.
Will my loft insulation and ventilation be improved?
Re-roofing is a good time to improve loft ventilation and insulation. A breathable membrane and eaves or ridge vents keep air moving and reduce condensation in the loft. Building regulations may require insulation upgrades when a large part of the roof is renewed. We check your current insulation and ventilation and include any required improvements in the quote.
