A re-roof is a major investment, so it's worth being sure it's genuinely needed rather than a well-timed repair. On Cheltenham's post-war estates the deciding factor is usually the fixings; on period slate roofs it's often the underlay and mortar, not the slate itself.
When it is not the answer: If the covering is sound and only the fixings or underlay have failed, you may not need a full replacement at all — a strip-and-relay reuses your existing slate, which is often the cheaper and greener answer on Cheltenham's period roofs. Read the full guide.
Cheltenham's conservation areas encompass much of the Regency townscape — Montpellier, Lansdown, Suffolk and Pittville in particular. On these properties, Cheltenham Borough Council's planning policies require replacement materials to match the original in appearance. For most Regency and Victorian properties this means Welsh slate, sourced and matched to the existing covering. We are familiar with these requirements and advise clients on what needs conservation officer approval before any work begins.
Away from the conservation areas, the large post-war estates in Hester's Way, Benhall and Up Hatherley are reaching a point where widespread nail sickness means re-roofing is more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. Modern concrete or clay interlocking tiles provide a 40–50 year service life when correctly fixed over modern breathable underlay.
Every replacement includes: strip all existing tiles and underlay, inspect and replace any failed battens, install new breathable underlay, full tile replacement with correct fixings, replace lead flashings, repoint or replace ridge and hips, and a clear-up to leave the site tidy. All work is covered by our 10-year written guarantee.
Guide prices for common Cheltenham property types. Your written quote will be itemised and fixed before work starts.
Full re-roof including underlay, battens, ridge, hips and new concrete interlocking tiles. Scaffolding included.
Larger roof area, typically more complex with multiple valleys and chimney flashings. Price depends on pitch and specification.
Conservation-compliant re-roof using new or matched reclaimed Welsh slate. Listed building compliance included in scope.
Traditional clay plain tile re-roof. Matching original character of St Paul's, Fairview and similar Victorian stock.
We assess the whole roof — covering, fixings, underlay, timbers and ventilation — and specify the right build-up for your property's era, whether that's matched Welsh slate for a Lansdown terrace or concrete interlocking for a Benhall estate.
A fixed price covering strip-off, waste, new breathable membrane and battens, covering, leadwork, dry-fix ridge and scaffold, all separated out so you can compare it against any other quote.
Scaffold goes up to the whole working area; we arrange it and any Cheltenham Borough Council permit. We agree a start date and a realistic duration up front.
We strip the old covering, renew the underlay and battens to BS 5534, re-cover with matched materials, and form new leadwork, valleys and a dry-fix ridge for a mortar-free, wind-resistant finish.
Full site clearance including the skip, a walk-round of the finished roof, and a written 10-year workmanship guarantee handed over with your manufacturer warranties.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Garage or small outbuilding | 1–2 days |
| Terraced or mid-size semi (3-bed) | 5–8 days |
| Larger detached or period property | 1.5–3 weeks |
| Strip-and-relay of existing slate | 1–2 weeks |
A re-roof is dried-in with membrane at the end of each day, so a home is never left open to the weather overnight; sustained rain can still add a day or two.
A full re-roof always needs scaffold to the whole working elevation for safety and quality — there's no tower shortcut on a job this size. Scaffold is specified for: the entire working area of every re-roof, arranged and itemised by us - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Cheltenham's Regency terraces in Montpellier and Lansdown have railings, lightwells and shared party walls that limit rear access, so pavement scaffold and skip space usually need a permit. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Cheltenham Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Montpellier Street, the Suffolks, the terraces off St Paul's Road where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Garage / outbuilding re-roof | £1,500–£4,000 | Felt, GRP or tile depending on type |
| Terraced house re-roof | £5,000–£8,000 | Concrete tile, incl. scaffold |
| 3-bed semi re-roof | £6,500–£10,000 | Depending on covering and pitch |
| Welsh slate re-roof (period) | £9,000–£18,000+ | Natural slate, matched leadwork |
| Strip-and-relay existing slate | £5,000–£10,000 | Reuses 70–85% of your slate |
Worked example: A concrete-tile re-roof on a nail-sick 1950s 3-bed semi in Hester's Way, including full scaffold, new breathable membrane, battens and dry-fix ridge: around £7,800.
Re-roofs are on staged payments tied to progress — nothing before materials and scaffold are on site, a payment at dry-in, and the balance on sign-off. No large up-front deposit.
The complete re-roof carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee that's transferable if you sell, and the covering and membrane carry manufacturer warranties — often 25–40 years — on top.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
A re-roof means scaffold up for the duration, skip on site and a few noisy days during strip-off; we protect your garden and drive and keep the site tidy throughout. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Re-roofing runs through most of the year; we dry each section in with breathable membrane daily, so weather delays the finish rather than exposing your home. Cheltenham's sheltered vale position brings damp Cotswold-edge autumns and heavy leaf fall from the town's many mature trees, which keeps north-facing slopes slow to dry.
"Full re-roof on our 1920s detached in Charlton Kings. They identified rotten purlins during strip-out, gave us a clear price to replace them, and had the whole job done in 6 days. Spotless finish and no surprises on the invoice."
"Our Regency terrace in Montpellier needed a full re-roof — Welsh slate, lime mortar, the lot. They knew exactly what the conservation area required and handled the council correspondence. Impeccable quality."
"Nail sickness across the whole back slope of our Hester's Way house. They gave us honest advice that a full re-roof was better value than ongoing repairs, priced it fairly and completed it in 4 days. Highly recommend."
A standard 3-bed semi in Cheltenham costs £4,500–£8,000 for a full re-roof using concrete or clay tiles. Larger detached properties cost £8,000–£15,000. Period properties requiring matched Welsh slate or conservation-compliant materials are priced individually — contact us for a free survey and written quote.
Yes. We replace roofs on properties in Cheltenham's Montpellier, Lansdown and Pittville conservation areas using matched Welsh slate and lime mortar where required. We advise on whether listed building consent is needed before any work begins.
A standard 3-bed semi takes 3–5 days. Larger properties or those requiring scaffolding setup and conservation-compliant work may take 6–10 days. We'll give you a firm timeline in your quote.
Generally no, unless your property is listed or in a conservation area where the materials would change the character of the building. We advise on this as part of our free survey — we won't start work that requires consent without confirming compliance first.
Welsh slate is the premium choice for period properties — it handles Cheltenham's wet climate well and lasts 80–100 years. For post-war properties, high-quality concrete interlocking tile is cost-effective and durable.
Yes. Full disposal of old tiles, slates, felt and battens is included in our re-roof quotes. We leave the site clean at the end of each day.
Yes. Scaffold erection, hire for the duration and dismantling is included. We do not add scaffold as a surprise line item at invoice stage.
