Roof Repair or Roof Replacement?

The economic answer is usually clear: if repairs would cost more than around a third of a re-roof and the underlying covering is near end-of-life, replacement is better value over ten years.

The technical answer depends on the state of the underlay, battens and structural timbers — which is why a proper inspection matters before either path.

A drone survey combined with a loft inspection gives you the honest picture. From there, a written quote for each option lets you decide with numbers rather than guesswork.
