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.
Anyone planning a new roof in Evesham wants three things: a clear price, a realistic timetable and a tidy job. We publish a guide of £6,900–£14,500 including VAT for the West Midlands up front, explain that work normally takes 1–2 weeks on site, plus scaffolding time, and confirm both in writing after a free survey of your property.

Roof replacement prices in Evesham
Prices for a new roof vary from house to house, but in Evesham most projects fall within £6,900–£14,500 including VAT. That reflects costs in the West Midlands, about 2% below the national guide. Treat the table as a budgeting aid; the written figure follows a survey we carry out for free.
| Type of job | What it usually involves | Guide in Evesham |
|---|---|---|
| Terraced house or bungalow | A smaller pitched roof re-covered in concrete or clay tiles, including scaffolding. | £4,900–£9,800 |
| Typical semi-detached | A 3-bed semi re-roofed in concrete or clay tiles with new membrane, battens and leadwork. | £6,900–£14,500 |
| Detached or natural slate | Larger or more complex roofs, or any roof finished in natural slate. | £12,000–£24,500 |
The main things that change the figure:
- Roof area, pitch and the number of hips, valleys and dormers
- Covering material: concrete tile, clay tile or natural slate
- Condition of rafters, fascias and other timbers
- Scaffolding, access and the height of the house
Scope of the work
- Survey of the covering, timbers, chimneys and loft ventilation
- Scaffolding with edge protection, erected and removed
- Breathable membrane and new treated battens
- New tiles or slates, or sound originals refitted where suitable
- Ridges, hips and verges dry-fixed or bedded, with new leadwork
- Waste removal by skip and a clean site on completion
Building in Evesham
Worcester has Georgian and Victorian streets and interwar suburbs, black-and-white timber framing survives in many villages, and Malvern has Victorian villas, some built in Malvern stone. Redditch was expanded as a new town from the 1960s, Kidderminster has carpet-era terraces, and Bromsgrove and Evesham mix older centres with newer estates.
The Severn and Teme flood regularly, and the Malvern Hills are more exposed to wind and rain than the Vale of Evesham.
These patterns matter for a new roof: older walls, roofs and floors in Evesham can need different materials or extra preparation compared with newer homes.
Do you need permission in Evesham?
The notes below cover England, which is where Evesham sits. Rules change and every property is different, so we speak to the council before pricing your job.
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
A visit to your home
A free survey comes first. It gives us what we need to price a new roof properly, including dimensions, existing materials and access for deliveries, and gives you the chance to ask anything you like.
Price and scope agreed
Next you receive a written quote with a fixed price for the agreed specification. It lists what is included, what is not, and how payments are staged, so you can compare it properly.
Dates and permissions
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Evesham property.
Build and hand over
Our trades complete a new roof while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.
What you can expect from us
Frequently asked questions
How much does a new roof cost?
Re-roofing a typical 3-bed semi costs £6,900–£14,500, 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.
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 much will a new roof cost in Evesham?
As a guide, expect to pay £6,900–£14,500 including VAT for a new roof in Evesham. That range is adjusted for the West Midlands, which runs about 2% below the national guide. Where your project lands depends on size, materials, access and the condition of what is already there. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your home.
Can you combine a new roof with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan a new roof alongside other work on your Evesham home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
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.
