New Pitched Roof Installation in Bicester

The duration of a new roof installation can vary depending on several factors, including the size and complexity of your roof, the chosen materials (slate or tile), and the weather conditions. For an average-sized home in areas like Oxford or Milton Keynes, a complete re-roof might take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. When we provide your free quotation, our team will give you a more accurate timeline for your specific project.

Both slate and tile are excellent materials, but they have different characteristics. Natural slate is renowned for its exceptional lifespan (often 100+ years), natural beauty, and premium feel. It's generally more expensive upfront. Clay and concrete tiles offer great durability (typically 50+ years), come in a wider variety of colours and styles, and are usually more budget-friendly than slate. Our roofing experts can discuss the pros and cons for your home and needs, helping you make the best choice for your property in areas like Abingdon or Carterton.

In most cases, replacing an existing pitched roof with similar materials does not require planning permission, as it falls under 'permitted development'. However, if you are changing the roofline significantly, using very different materials, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area (common in parts of Oxfordshire and Stratford-upon-Avon), you might need permission. As NFRC CPS certified roofers, we ensure all our work complies with Building Regulations. We can advise you on whether planning permission might be needed for your project and guide you on Building Regulations compliance, which our certification helps streamline for you.
