Frequently Asked Questions
Roofing questions, answered plainly.
How much does a new roof cost in Belfast?
Most Belfast homeowners pay between £4,500 and £12,000 for a full re-roof, depending on property size, material choice and access. We provide a fixed, written quote after a free on-site inspection so there are no surprises.
How long does roof replacement take?
A typical semi-detached Belfast home takes 3 to 5 working days from strip-off to final clean-up, weather permitting. Larger or listed properties can take longer, which we'll confirm in your quote.
