Liverpool's Trusted Roofer

A new roof in Liverpool typically costs between £5,000 and £12,000 depending on the size of the property, materials, and complexity. Chestnut Roofers and Builders provides free, no-obligation quotes — we'll visit your property, assess the job, and give you a clear price with no hidden costs.

In most cases, replacing a roof like-for-like does not require planning permission as it falls under permitted development. However, if you are changing the roof shape or materials significantly, or live in a conservation area, you may need approval. We can advise on your specific situation.

For a typical three-bedroom house, a full roof replacement usually takes 5–10 working days depending on the weather and complexity. We always aim to keep disruption to a minimum. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption, and we'll always give you a clear timeline before we start.

Absolutely. Flat-to-pitched roof conversions are one of our specialities. A pitched roof offers better drainage, insulation, and kerb appeal. We handle the full job from survey to completion.

Mortar ridge tiles are the traditional method, using sand and cement to fix ridge tiles. Dry ridge systems use mechanical fixings instead, which are more durable, weather-resistant, and now required under current building regulations for new builds. We recommend and fit dry ridge on all our jobs.

Signs that your roof may need attention include missing or cracked tiles, damp patches on ceilings, sagging roof lines, or damaged flashing. If your roof is over 50 years old, a full replacement may be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We offer free inspections and honest advice.

Both have their advantages. Aluminium guttering is more durable, lightweight, and lasts longer without warping or cracking. uPVC is cheaper upfront but may need replacing sooner. We fit both types and can advise on the best option for your property.

We recommend having your roof inspected at least once every two to three years, or after severe weather. Regular inspections can catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. We offer free roof inspections across Liverpool.
