It’s a good question and one many homeowners ask. Knowing when a roof needs replacing rather than just repairing can save you money and stress in the long run. There are several key signs to look out for:

• Age of your roof: Most roofs have a lifespan, and if yours is getting on in years (say, over 20-25 years for tile or felt, longer for slate), it’s worth getting it checked.
• Visible damage: This is the most obvious sign. Look for cracked, broken, or missing tiles or slates. For flat roofs, check for blisters, cracks, or ponding water.
• Leaks and damp patches: Water stains on ceilings, damp patches in your loft, or actual drips during rain are serious red flags. Don’t ignore these!
• Moss and algae growth: While some moss is normal, excessive growth can trap moisture and damage roof coverings over time.
• Sagging roofline: A visibly sagging roof is a sign of structural problems and needs immediate attention.
  If you notice any of these signs, it's best to get a professional roof inspection. We offer free, no-obligation assessments to homeowners across Kent, Surrey, and Sussex to accurately determine the condition of your roof.

Roofing costs vary depending on several factors, including:

• The size of your roof: Larger roofs naturally cost more.
• The type of roofing material: Slate roofs are generally more expensive than tile roofs, for example. Flat roofing systems also have varying costs depending on the material chosen (EPDM, GRP, Felt).
• The complexity of the job: Roofs with intricate designs or difficult access can increase labour costs.
• The extent of the work: A full roof replacement will cost more than a minor repair.
• Location: Prices can vary slightly depending on your specific location within Kent, Surrey, or Sussex.
