A replacement roof is a great way to give your home or business in Weymouth, Portland or Dorchester long-lasting protection, improved energy efficiency and a smart new look.
If your existing roof is leaking, worn out, or nearing the end of its lifespan, a full replacement ensures every part of the roof is renewed to modern standards.
What is a replacement roof?
A replacement roof involves stripping off all existing tiles or slates, removing old felt and battens and installing a completely new roofing system.
It’s not just a quick fix — it’s a full upgrade of your roof structure and materials, giving you the reliability and peace of mind that comes from starting fresh.

Replacement Roof FAQs
-
Most standard homes take 2–5 days, depending on roof size, weather and the type of tiles or slates you choose. Larger or more complex roofs may take a little longer, but we’ll always give you a clear timeline before work begins.
-
In most cases, no. A like-for-like replacement falls under permitted development. Planning permission is only required if you’re changing the roof height, altering its shape, or you live in a conservation area or listed building.
-
Yes. A new roof can improve kerb appeal, energy efficiency and overall structural condition. Estate agents often note that a recently replaced roof can make a property more attractive to buyers and support a higher asking price.
-
If your roof has recurring leaks, widespread broken tiles, sagging areas, or is more than 20–30 years old, a full replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. During your survey, we’ll advise honestly whether repairs or a replacement is the best option.

Had a very competitive quote from Redmore Roofing for complete re-roof, re-felting and battening. All work was completed to a very high standard. Brand new Spanish slate tiles look great. Kept informed throughout the work what was happening, excellent customer service, work area, back yard and drive swept clean at the end of every day. Highly recommended.
