Newbury Roofing Company — Roofers in Newbury
Roofers for West Berkshire — repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs and leadwork. Free surveys, fixed written quotes, tidy workmanship.
Newbury Roofing Company covers roof repairs, re-roofing, flat roofs, chimneys and leadwork for Newbury and the West Berkshire villages around it. Roofers who will actually drive out to a cottage at Peasemore or a stable range above Lambourn, look at the whole roof while we are there, and put one written price on it.
The patch is a market town with downland either side of it, and that shapes the work. A roof in the middle of Newbury sits sheltered between neighbours. The same roof on a ridge above the Kennet valley takes wind from every quarter and loses its ridge tiles first. We price for where the house stands, not just what it is made of.
Four things we get called out for most
Re-Roofing & New Roofs
Full strip and re-cover — breathable membrane, graded battens and a fixing spec worked out for the exposure the roof actually sits in.
Roof Repairs
Slipped tiles, wind-lifted ridges, failed valleys and storm damage. Fixed properly rather than smeared over with mortar.
Chimneys & Leadwork
Repointing, flaunching and code 4 and code 5 lead flashing on stacks that stand well clear of everything around them.
Flat Roofs
Tired felt on extensions, garages and outbuildings replaced with EPDM rubber or GRP that lasts decades.
What it is like having a roofer out here
Rural West Berkshire is not a difficult place to get roofing work done — it is a place where the wrong habits show up quickly. Ours are built around distance and weather.
One trip, the whole roof
If you are twelve miles out, we are not coming back three times. The survey covers everything — coverings, ridge, valleys, flashings, gutters and loft — and the quote itemises the lot so you can pick what gets done now.
Fixed for exposure, not for catalogue
Tiles and ridges are fixed to the wind loading BS 5534 sets out for the site. On an open downland slope that usually means every tile clipped and a dry ridge system, not two courses of mortar and hope.
Old and new, both properly
Handmade clay peg tiles on a brick-and-flint cottage and interlocking concrete on a Sandleford new-build need opposite treatment. We do not carry one method around and force everything into it.
No travel charges inside the patch
Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford and the villages between them are all priced the same. Beyond that we say so before we come, rather than folding it quietly into the figure.
Roofing costs around Newbury, and how long we are on site
These are the ranges the jobs we quote most often actually land in. Scaffold or tower access is inside the figure where the job needs it. Access is the single biggest swing on rural properties — a farmhouse with hard standing all round scaffolds cheaply, a cottage with a lane on one side and a bank on the other does not.
| Job | Typical cost | Time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Slipped tiles put back (1–6) | £160 – £450 | Same visit |
| Ridge re-bedded or dry ridge fitted | £700 – £1,600 | 1–2 days |
| Lead flashing renewed to a chimney | £450 – £950 | 1 day |
| Extension flat roof re-covered in EPDM | £1,800 – £3,400 | 1–2 days |
| Re-roof, 3-bed semi in concrete tile | £6,500 – £11,000 | 5–9 days |
Guide ranges for 2026 based on the jobs we price most often. Condition, access and exposure move the figure — every job gets a free survey and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Where we go
Newbury itself, including Wash Common, Speen, Shaw, Donnington, Greenham and the Sandleford side of town. Then Thatcham, Hungerford, Kintbury, Chieveley, Hermitage, Cold Ash, Bucklebury, Boxford, Stockcross, Woolton Hill, Highclere, Kingsclere, Compton, Yattendon, Aldermaston and Woolhampton. Up the valley we cover Great Shefford, East Garston, Eastbury and Lambourn, where a good share of the work is on stables and long farm ranges rather than houses.
Thatch is the one thing we do not touch. Plenty of roofs we work on sit next door to it, or have a thatched wing joined to a tiled one, and we will happily detail the junction and the leadwork against it — but the thatch itself belongs to a master thatcher and we will say so.
