Re-Roofing & Roof Replacement in Sherborne

Professional Re-Roofing & Roof Replacement for Sherborne Properties

A failing roof is one of the most urgent and highest-value repairs a homeowner in Dorset will face, and getting it wrong risks water damage, timber rot and structural problems throughout the property. Brick Builds carries out full roof replacement, re-slating, re-tiling and flat roof renewal across Sherborne and the wider Dorset region, using natural slate, clay tile and traditional materials that suit the character of local period properties.

Our re-roofing projects in Sherborne include stripping the existing covering, replacing or repairing roof timbers where necessary, installing breathable roofing membrane and battens to current standards, and re-covering with new or reclaimed slate, concrete or clay tile to match the existing roofline. We also renew leadwork, flashings, valleys and ridge tiles, and upgrade loft insulation as part of the same project where access allows.

Many Dorset properties — particularly older stone cottages and farmhouses — have natural slate or traditional clay tile roofs that require specialist knowledge to replace correctly. Our team in Sherborne sources reclaimed and new slate and tile to match existing roofs, and we understand the conservation area and listed building requirements that apply to roof replacement across Dorset.

Frequently Asked Questions �� Re-Roofing & Roof Replacement in Sherborne

How much does a new roof cost in Sherborne?
A full re-roof in Sherborne typically costs £6,000–£12,000 for an average property with concrete or clay tile. Natural slate roofs cost £10,000–£20,000+ depending on the roof size, pitch and slate type. We provide a free roof survey and fixed-price quote — call 01460 353121.
How do I know if I need a full re-roof or just repairs in Dorset?
We carry out a free roof survey to assess the condition of the covering, timbers, leadwork and ventilation. If the roof covering is generally sound with isolated issues, repairs are usually the more cost-effective option. If the covering is widely failing or nearing the end of its lifespan, a full re-roof avoids repeated repair costs. We give you an honest recommendation either way.
How long does re-roofing take in Sherborne?
A standard re-roof on a semi-detached property in Sherborne typically takes 1–2 weeks, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs, or projects involving significant timber repair, can take 3–4 weeks. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Can you match the slate or tile on my Dorset period property?
Yes — matching existing roofing materials is one of our specialities. We source reclaimed natural slate and traditional clay tile from specialist suppliers across the South West to ensure a new roof is visually consistent with the age and character of your Sherborne property, which is often required in conservation areas.
