How Much Does a New Roof Installation Cost?
The cost of a new roof installation in the UK varies depending on several factors, including the size of the property, the type of roofing material chosen, and the complexity of the roof structure. As a rough guide, a new roof on a standard semi-detached home in the UK can range from around £5,000 to £12,000 or more. Properties requiring premium materials such as natural Welsh slate, or those with complex roof shapes, dormers, or chimneys, will typically sit at the higher end of that range.
It is also worth factoring in the cost of any additional work such as replacing the roof deck, installing new felt and battens, upgrading ventilation, or fitting new fascias and guttering at the same time. Bundling these jobs together can often save money in the long run by avoiding repeat call-out costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a new roof installation take?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the roof, but most residential new roof installations in Brecon and the surrounding area take between three and seven days. Larger or more complex properties may take longer, and we will always give you a realistic timeframe in your written quote.
What roofing materials are available?
We work with a wide range of materials including natural Welsh slate, fibre cement slate, concrete tiles, clay tiles, and flat roofing systems such as EPDM and GRP fibreglass. We will help you choose the most suitable option for your property’s style, location, and budget.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof in Brecon?
In most cases, replacing a roof with the same or similar materials is considered permitted development and does not require planning permission. However, if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building — which is common in parts of Brecon — you may need consent. We can advise you on this during your initial survey.
Will my home be weatherproof during the installation?
Yes. Our team works methodically to ensure your home remains protected throughout the process. We use temporary waterproof sheeting where needed and always aim to complete each section before leaving the site at the end of each day.
Is Welsh slate a good choice for a property in Brecon?
Natural Welsh slate is an excellent choice for properties in the Brecon Beacons area. It is incredibly durable, handles the wet Welsh climate extremely well, and is in keeping with the local architectural character. It is a long-term investment that can last well over a century with proper maintenance.
Do you offer a guarantee on new roof installations?
Yes, GRH Roofing stands behind the quality of our workmanship. We provide a guarantee on all our new roof installations, giving you confidence that any issues arising from our work will be addressed promptly and professionally.
How do I know if I need a full new roof or just repairs?
Signs that a full replacement may be needed include widespread cracked or missing tiles, significant sagging in the roof structure, persistent leaks despite previous repairs, or a roof that is approaching the end of its expected lifespan. During your free survey, our team will give you an honest assessment and only recommend a full new roof installation if it is genuinely the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
