New Roofs & Re-Roofing Across the Wirral
When a roof has had enough small repairs, or it’s simply reached the end of its working life, a full re-roof is the more economical option. All Round Roofing Specialists carries out complete pitched roof replacements across the Wirral, from Victorian terraces being brought up to modern standards to full-scale re-roofs on 1930s semis and post-war estates.
A re-roof isn’t just about new tiles on top — it’s a chance to properly renew everything underneath: the battens, the breathable membrane, and any timber that’s degraded over the decades. Done properly, a new roof should comfortably outlast the mortgage.
Signs You Need New Roofs
- You’ve had three or more separate repairs in the last couple of years
- The roof covering is original and the property is 60+ years old (or 25–30 years for a felt-based roof)
- Visible sagging along the ridge line or between rafters
- Widespread cracking, spalling or moss coverage across most of the roof, not just one section
- Daylight or damp patches appearing in multiple rooms rather than one isolated spot
Materials We Use
Options include interlocking concrete tiles (the most cost-effective and widely used across the Wirral), plain clay tiles for a more traditional finish, and natural slate for period and conservation-sensitive properties such as those in Oxton. Every re-roof uses a modern breathable roofing membrane, treated battens, and new lead flashing at every abutment, valley and chimney — not just wherever the old lead happened to be.
How It Works
- 1Detailed survey and fixed written quote, including a breakdown of tile options and costs
- 2Scaffold erected for safe, full access to the roof
- 3Existing tiles, felt and battens stripped back to the rafters
- 4Roof timbers inspected and any rotten or damaged sections replaced
- 5New breathable membrane, treated battens and tiles installed
- 6Ridge, hip and valley detailing finished, gutters reinstated and checked for correct fall
- 7Full site clean-up and waste removal
Insurance & guarantee
New roofs come with a longer workmanship guarantee than repair work, reflecting the scale of the job, on top of full insurance cover for the duration of the project.
New Bungalow Roof
Ian and his lads were excellent from start to finish (a whole roof replaced in under two days, with Storm Jorge looming) — turned up on time and worked like trojans. I never realised a roof could be replaced so quickly! Ian’s quote was by far the most competitive as well. I’m delighted with the roof and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian and All Round Roofing Specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost in the Wirral?+
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, access, and tile choice — concrete tiles are the most economical, natural slate the most expensive. A free survey gives an accurate, fixed price rather than a rough estimate.
How long does a full re-roof take?+
A typical semi-detached roof usually takes between one and two weeks depending on size, weather and any timber repairs found once the old covering is stripped back.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?+
Like-for-like re-roofing usually falls under permitted development, but conservation areas such as Oxton, and listed buildings, can have additional restrictions on materials. This gets checked as part of the survey.
Can you add insulation while re-roofing?+
Yes — a re-roof is the ideal time to upgrade loft or roofline insulation while the structure is already exposed, which can be discussed and priced at the survey stage.
