Home / Services / Pitched Roofing
A new pitched roof, stripped back to the rafters and rebuilt properly — in natural slate, clay tiles, concrete tiles or metal, by a local team led by Aidan, who has 20+ years on the tools.

Is it time?
A repair is often enough. These are the signs it probably isn’t — we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.
One slipped tile is a repair. Tiles slipping every winter usually means the fixings or battens underneath have had it.
Stains on the rafters, wet insulation or light coming through mean water is already getting past the covering.
A dip along the ridge or a wavy roof slope can point to tired timbers that need looking at before anything else.
Heavy moss, crumbling ridge mortar and a roof that has been on for 50 years or more are all signs it is near the end of its life.
Your options
Five main choices. Each one below says what it’s best for, so you don’t need to know the trade terms. We bring real samples to your free survey.
Best for: Period homes, conservation areas and anyone who wants the classic look.
Thin, flat stone split by hand. Naturally blue-grey, doesn’t fade and lasts longer than any other covering.
Best for: The slate look for less, on re-roofs, new builds and extensions.
Man-made slates such as Marley Thrutone, with a riven edge so they look like natural slate but are lighter and cost less.
Best for: Older and character homes — the warm red roofs you see across Suffolk and Norfolk.
Fired clay, as plain tiles or pantiles. Colours mellow with age instead of fading.
Best for: Best value for most houses, bungalows and extensions.
Strong interlocking tiles that go on quickly, in a wide range of colours and profiles.
Best for: Low-pitched roofs, garages, outbuildings and modern designs.
Lightweight sheets or standing-seam panels that shed water fast and suit shallow slopes.
Colours
The most common colours for each covering. Exact shades depend on the tile or slate you choose — we bring real samples so you can see them against your house.
Colours on screen are a guide only. We bring real samples to your free survey.
What you get
Every re-roof quote covers the parts you can’t see as well as the ones you can.
A low price often means the membrane is skipped, tired battens are reused or old lead is left in place. That’s usually where the next leak starts — so ask any roofer exactly what their quote includes.
How it works
Four steps, and you know what’s happening at every one of them.
We look at the roof and the loft, take photos and talk you through the covering options.
An itemised price that shows exactly what’s included, with any guarantee terms set out.
Scaffold up, old roof off, timbers checked, then membrane, battens and your new covering.
Ridges, verges and flashings checked, the site cleared, and any guarantee paperwork handed over.
Our guarantee
Qualifying new roof systems come with a guarantee of up to 25 years on workmanship and materials, depending on the system. The exact length and terms for your job are written into your quote before you agree to anything. We only guarantee full new systems: a repair fixes one part of an older roof, so we tell you plainly what it will and won’t do.

FAQs
District Roofing surveys the roof for free and gives you a written, itemised quote rather than a guess over the phone. The price depends on the size of the roof, the covering you choose, access and how much timber needs replacing.
Your written quote includes a start date and how long the job should take, and if the weather moves things we tell you straight away. The time on site depends on the size of the roof and the weather.
Usually not when you replace a roof like for like on a house that isn't listed or in a conservation area. Changing the look, such as concrete tiles to slate, and listed or conservation-area homes can be different. We flag this at the survey, and re-roofing still has to meet building regulations.
No. The work happens outside, and the roof is kept covered and weathertight at the end of each working day.
Yes, when it is a full new roof system. Qualifying new pitched roofs come with a guarantee of up to 25 years on workmanship and materials, depending on the tiles or slate and the system used. The exact length and terms are set out in your written quote.
