New roofs in Selby, planned around your house
A roof replacement is a big decision, so it should be based on facts, not a sales pitch. When we look at a roof for new roofs in Selby, we tell you honestly whether it needs replacing now, could do with repairs for a few more years, or is fine.
If it is time, we strip the old covering, renew the membrane and battens, and fit new tiles or slate with modern dry ridge and verge systems where suitable. The result is a roof that should not need attention for a very long time.
Surveys are free, quotes are written, there are no hidden fees and all work is guaranteed.

What is included in a Selby re-roof
Strip and check
Old tiles or slates removed, with timbers checked and repaired before anything goes back on.
Membrane and battens
Breathable underlay and new treated battens fitted to give a sound, dry base.
Tiles or slate
Concrete or clay tiles, or natural slate, chosen to suit the house and street.
Dry ridge and verge
Mechanically fixed ridges and verges that do not rely on mortar to stay put.
Re-roofing Selby's housing
Selby's Victorian terraces near the abbey usually have slate, while post-war estates and modern developments mostly have concrete tiles. Post-war roofs in particular are reaching the age where the original felt has become brittle and battens have softened, even if the tiles look fine from the street. On older slate roofs, nail fatigue is usually what tips the balance towards replacement. If your home is in a conservation area, check with North Yorkshire Council before changing the covering.
We replace roofs across YO8, including Brayton, Thorpe Willoughby, Barlby, Riccall and Hemingbrough. Selby is around 26 miles from our North Yorkshire office in Norton, Malton, and is covered by our Yorkshire team.
Timing and guide costs for a new roof
A typical house re-roof takes 2 to 5 days depending on size and weather. Scaffolding goes up first, then we work in sections so the roof is watertight every evening.
Cost depends on the roof's size and shape, the covering you choose, timber repairs, chimneys and valleys, and access. Concrete tiles are usually the most economical; natural slate costs more but lasts longer. Call 0800 046 1159 for a free survey and a written quote.
Selby new roof questions
My tiles look fine. Why might my roof still need replacing?
On post-war roofs, the problem is often under the tiles. Old bitumen felt goes brittle and tears, especially at the eaves, and battens can rot. From the street the roof looks fine, but in the loft you see daylight or water staining. We will check and explain.
What is a dry ridge and verge system?
It fixes ridge tiles and verge edges mechanically with clips, screws and fitted units instead of mortar. Mortar cracks over time, while dry systems are designed to stay put in wind. Most new roofs we fit use them unless the house calls for a traditional finish.
Can I change from concrete tiles to slate?
Often, yes, and slate can be lighter than concrete tiles. The battens and fixings change, and the look of the house will too. On an estate where every house matches, consider how it will look. We can explain the options and costs.
Will the new roof affect my loft conversion plans?
If you are considering a loft conversion, tell us before re-roofing. It may be worth planning both together, especially if dormers or roof windows are involved. Planning rules vary, so check with North Yorkshire Council about anything beyond a straightforward re-roof.
What happens to the old roof materials?
We remove and dispose of the old tiles, felt and battens as part of the job. Where slates or tiles are sound and suitable, we can reuse them, for example to keep a period look on the front elevation.
Is it worth doing the fascias and gutters with a new roof?
It usually is. The scaffold is already up, and new fascias and gutters finish the roof off properly. On many Selby homes the roofline is the same age as the roof and nearing the end of its life too.
