New & Replacement Roofs in Surrey

A new roof is one of the most important investments you can make in your property. Whether you’re replacing an ageing roof, renovating an older house or planning a new roofing installation, the quality of the materials and workmanship will influence how effectively your home is protected for years to come.

Infinite Roofing provides professional new roof installations and roof replacements throughout Surrey, working with homeowners, landlords, developers and commercial property owners.

Based in Epsom, we cover Leatherhead, Cheam, Banstead, Ewell, Tadworth, Kingswood, Ashtead and the surrounding areas.

From traditional pitched roofs with clay or concrete tiles to natural slate and modern flat roofing systems, we offer roofing solutions suited to the design, condition and requirements of individual properties.

Replacing a roof involves much more than fitting new tiles. The underlying structure, waterproofing, ventilation, flashing and drainage must work together to provide reliable protection against the weather.

Whether your current roof has reached the end of its serviceable life or you’re planning a completely new installation, Infinite Roofing can assess your requirements and recommend a suitable approach.

Professional Roof Replacement Services

Every property is different, and a replacement roofing system should reflect the building’s construction, architectural character and practical requirements.

A traditional Surrey cottage may need replacement clay tiles or natural slate to preserve its appearance. A modern family home may use concrete interlocking tiles, while a rear extension could require a specialist flat roofing system.

Infinite Roofing undertakes a range of roofing installation and replacement projects, including:

• Complete pitched roof replacements
• New tiled roof installations
• Natural slate roof replacements
• Concrete roof tile installations
• Clay roof tile replacements
• Flat roof replacements
• New roofs for extensions
• Garage and outbuilding roofs
• Roof refurbishment projects
• Roofing membrane and batten replacement
• Ridge, verge and valley installations
• Associated leadwork and flashing

We assess the existing roof where applicable, discuss suitable roofing materials and explain the work involved before providing a quotation.

Our wider residential roofing services also cover roofing maintenance and repairs for domestic properties throughout Surrey.

When Does a Roof Need Replacing?

A roof does not necessarily require replacement simply because it is old or has developed a leak.

Many roofing defects can be resolved through targeted repairs, particularly where the surrounding materials remain sound.

However, there comes a point when repeated repairs may no longer provide good long-term value.

Widespread deterioration, ageing materials and persistent water penetration can indicate that a more comprehensive roofing solution is necessary.

Common signs your roof may need replacing

Warning signs include:

• Numerous cracked, missing or deteriorating tiles
• Repeated leaks affecting different roof areas
• Extensive damage to the roof underlay
• Widespread deterioration of battens or fixings
• Multiple previous repairs that have failed
• Significant problems affecting several roof slopes
• Persistent moisture damage within the roof structure
• Roofing materials reaching the end of their practical service life

Some symptoms can have more than one cause. For example, dampness in a loft may result from condensation rather than a defective covering.

An inspection is therefore important before deciding whether a complete replacement is necessary.

Where a lasting repair remains practical, our roof repair services may provide a more economical alternative.

Where deterioration is extensive, replacing the roof can restore its weather resistance and reduce the need for repeated remedial work.

New Tiled Roof Installations

Pitched tiled roofs are among the most common roofing systems used on residential properties throughout Surrey.

They offer a traditional appearance and can provide excellent long-term protection when correctly specified, installed and maintained.

Clay and concrete tiles are widely used, with different profiles, colours and finishes available to complement various architectural styles.

Clay roof tiles

Clay tiles are commonly associated with traditional homes, period properties and buildings where preserving the original appearance is important.

Their distinctive colours and textures can complement older houses, cottages and more contemporary designs.

Clay tiles are available in different formats, including plain tiles and interlocking designs.

The appropriate choice depends on the roof pitch, building character, structural requirements and relevant planning considerations.

Concrete roof tiles

Concrete tiles are another popular option for residential roof replacements.

They are available in a wide range of profiles and colours and can offer a practical solution for many pitched roofing projects.

When selecting concrete tiles, factors such as weight, roof pitch, fixing requirements and compatibility with the existing structure must be considered.

Neither material is automatically suitable for every roof.

We can discuss the available options and recommend materials appropriate to your property and budget.

Natural Slate Roof Replacement

Natural slate remains a popular choice for traditional buildings and higher-specification roofing projects.

Its appearance makes it particularly suitable for many Victorian, Edwardian and period-style properties throughout Surrey.

Slate roofing can provide a long service life when appropriate materials are used and installation is carried out correctly.

However, replacement work requires careful attention to the roof’s pitch, fixings, supporting structure and individual slate dimensions.

An older slate roof may also have deteriorated battens or fixings that need replacing as part of the project.

When undertaking slate roof replacement, consideration should be given to preserving the building’s character wherever practical.

This may involve selecting replacement slates that complement the property’s existing appearance and surrounding architecture.

For listed buildings or properties subject to additional planning restrictions, particular requirements may apply.

We can assess the roof and discuss an appropriate replacement solution that balances appearance, weather protection and long-term performance.

Flat Roof Replacement and New Installations

Flat roofs are commonly found on extensions, garages, dormers, porches and commercial buildings.

Although they appear relatively simple, they require carefully designed waterproofing, drainage and construction details.

An ageing flat roof may require replacement where its waterproof covering has deteriorated extensively or repeated repairs are no longer effective.

Common replacement considerations include:

• Condition of the existing waterproof membrane
• Roof decking and supporting structure
• Insulation requirements
• Drainage falls and outlets
• Roof edges and upstands
• Rooflight and wall junctions
• Compatibility with surrounding building materials

Various waterproofing systems are available, including reinforced bituminous felt, GRP fibreglass, rubber and specialist single-ply membranes.

The most suitable system depends on the roof design, intended use, existing construction and budget.

Infinite Roofing also works with specialist systems such as Alwitra Evalon single-ply roofing, which can be suitable for particular flat and low-pitched roofing applications.

We assess the requirements of the building before recommending a replacement system.

What Is Involved in Replacing a Roof?

A complete roof replacement requires careful planning and a coordinated installation process.

The exact work varies depending on the roofing materials, roof design and condition of the existing structure.

1. Initial roof assessment

The first stage involves assessing the existing roof and discussing your requirements.

We consider the condition of the covering, visible supporting components, roof junctions and any problems affecting the building.

For new installations, we review the proposed roof construction and materials.

2. Choosing suitable materials

The roofing system must suit the building’s design and technical requirements.

We discuss suitable tile, slate or flat roofing options, taking account of appearance, performance and budget.

3. Planning access and preparation

Roof replacement may require scaffolding, waste removal and arrangements to protect the property during the work.

These requirements are considered before installation begins.

4. Removing existing roofing materials

Where a roof is being replaced, the existing covering is removed as necessary to expose the underlying construction.

This allows relevant components to be inspected and replaced where required.

5. Installing the roofing system

The installation may involve new underlay, battens, roof coverings, flashing, ventilation and associated detailing.

The specific components depend on the system being installed.

6. Finishing and checking the work

Ridges, verges, valleys, drainage details and roof junctions are completed as required.

The finished installation should provide a properly integrated roofing system suited to the property.

The Importance of Roofing Membranes, Battens and Ventilation

The visible roof covering is only one part of a complete roofing installation.

Several less visible components are equally important to the roof’s performance.

Roofing underlay

Underlay provides a secondary layer of protection beneath the tiles or slates.

The specification must suit the roof construction and intended ventilation arrangement.

Roofing battens

Battens support and provide fixing points for many pitched roof coverings.

Their dimensions, spacing and fixing requirements depend on the tiles or slates being installed.

Roof ventilation

Appropriate ventilation and moisture management help reduce the risk of condensation within certain roof constructions.

The requirements differ between ventilated cold roofs and warm roof designs.

Flashing and weatherproofing

Flashing protects vulnerable junctions around chimneys, rooflights, walls and other roof penetrations.

Incorrect detailing can allow water penetration even where the main covering has been installed correctly.

A well-designed replacement roof considers these components together rather than treating them as separate details.

Roof Replacements for Older Surrey Properties

Surrey has a diverse range of residential properties, including Victorian terraces, Edwardian homes, traditional cottages, interwar houses and later suburban developments.

Many have roofs that have been altered over time through extensions, loft conversions or previous repairs.

These alterations can create complications when planning replacement roofing.

For example, an older pitched roof may connect to a more recent flat-roofed extension, while a loft conversion may introduce dormers, valleys and additional flashing details.

Such features require careful consideration to maintain effective weatherproofing.

The roof’s appearance can also be particularly important on period properties.

Where suitable, replacement materials should complement the architectural character of the building.

We assess the individual property before recommending the most appropriate roofing solution.

New Roofs for Extensions and Renovations

A new extension or substantial renovation often involves installing an entirely new roofing system.

The roof must be compatible with the proposed construction and integrate correctly with the existing building.

For pitched extensions, considerations can include roof pitch, tile selection, drainage and the connection to existing roof slopes.

Flat-roofed extensions require suitable waterproofing, insulation, drainage and details around rooflights or adjoining walls.

Common projects include:

• Rear extensions
• Side extensions
• Garage conversions
• Loft conversions
• Porches
• Outbuildings
• Residential refurbishments

The roofing specification should be coordinated with the wider building design and applicable building regulations.

We can discuss the roofing requirements of your project and the most suitable installation approach.

How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Surrey?

The cost of a replacement roof depends on the property and the work required.

A straightforward pitched roof on a relatively small house will have different requirements from a large detached property with multiple roof slopes, dormers, chimneys and complicated junctions.

Likewise, material choices can significantly affect the cost.

Factors influencing a roofing quotation include:

• Size and shape of the roof
• Type of tiles, slates or waterproofing system
• Condition of the existing structure
• Removal and disposal of old materials
• Scaffolding and access requirements
• Roofing membrane and batten specifications
• Insulation and ventilation requirements
• Chimneys, valleys and rooflights
• Leadwork and other finishing details
• Necessary associated repairs

A quotation should account for the work involved rather than rely solely on the property’s floor area.

We recommend arranging an assessment so the proposed roofing work and expected costs can be explained clearly.

Building Regulations and Roof Replacement

Roof replacement work may be subject to building regulations, depending on the extent and nature of the project.

Relevant considerations can include structural loading, thermal performance, fire safety and the condition of existing roofing components.

For example, replacing a substantial proportion of a roof covering may trigger requirements relating to the thermal performance of the roof.

Other considerations may apply when changing roofing materials, particularly where the replacement covering is significantly heavier or lighter than the original.

Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas may require additional checks.

Homeowners should establish the relevant requirements before work begins.

We can discuss the roofing work involved, while any necessary regulatory approvals or specialist design assessments should be confirmed through the appropriate professionals and authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement

How do I know if my roof needs replacing?

Signs may include widespread tile deterioration, recurring leaks, damaged underlay and repeated repairs that no longer provide a lasting solution. An assessment is needed to determine whether replacement is necessary or whether targeted repairs remain practical.

How long does a new roof last?

The lifespan depends on the roofing materials, installation quality, exposure and maintenance. Natural slate, clay tiles, concrete tiles and flat roofing membranes all have different performance characteristics. A properly specified and maintained roof can provide many years of service.

Can I stay in my home during a roof replacement?

Many homeowners remain in their properties during roofing work. However, noise, access restrictions and temporary disruption should be expected. The arrangements depend on the scale of the project and whether any structural work is required.

Is it possible to replace only part of a roof?

In some circumstances, partial replacement may be appropriate. This depends on the condition of the remaining roof, compatibility of materials and how the different roof sections connect.

Will a new roof improve insulation?

Roof replacement can provide an opportunity to improve insulation and thermal performance. The appropriate improvements depend on the existing roof construction and applicable building regulations.
