New Roofs and Re-Roofing in Sawston
Sawston is a large village south of Cambridge with older homes along the High Street and post-war and modern estates around it. We repair tiled roofs, chimneys, fascias and flat roofs across Sawston.
We have the experience to re-roof all types of property, from traditional tiled and slate roofs to flat roofs. Spotting the signs of deterioration early matters, because left untreated they usually mean the whole roof has to be replaced.
Sometimes a patch repair is not the best option in the long run, and re-roofing can work out cheaper over time, giving you peace of mind for years to come. We talk you through efficient, up-to-date materials and methods so the new roof is a worthwhile investment in your property.
We are happy to visit, look at the roof and price up the different options, with costs depending on the size of the property and the area of roof. For a free quote on a new roof in Sawston, call 07467 757 367.

Local New Roofs Specialists in Sawston
Post-war homes in Sawston are now old enough that many of their roofs need more than patching. Concrete tiles may still be intact, but the felt, battens and fixings beneath them can be worn out, leading to leaks that keep coming back.
We re-roof pitched and flat roofs completely and give honest advice on whether a patch repair is still economical. We start with a site visit to check the size, type and condition of the roof and discuss efficient options, such as better insulation. Cost depends on the roof, so we quote specifically for your property. For older homes along the High Street, we can talk through matching materials. We re-roof homes in Sawston and nearby in Linton and Great Shelford.
Alongside our Staines head office, we have a second office covering this part of the country, including Sawston. Most like-for-like roof work does not need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with South Cambridgeshire District Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

New Roofs FAQs for Sawston
Is re-roofing worth it for a post-war house in Sawston?
If leaks keep returning and the underlay and battens are worn, re-roofing is often better value than more repairs. We will visit, inspect the roof and give you an honest view, along with a quote based on the size and type of roof.
How much does a new roof cost?
Costs depend on the size of the property, the area of roof and the materials. We visit, inspect the roof and give you pricing for the options available.
How do I know if I need a new roof?
Repeated leaks, many slipped or broken tiles, sagging, daylight through the roof and failed felt or battens are all signs. If repairs keep adding up, a new roof is often better value.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to the roof shape or materials may need consent from your council.
Will you help me choose materials?
Yes. We advise on efficient options and up-to-date materials so the new roof suits your property and budget.
Is it better to repair or replace my roof?
If the problem is isolated, a repair is usually fine. When the roof is failing in several places, re-roofing can be cheaper over the longer term. We will give you an honest view.
