Professional Roofing Services in Derby & Derbyshire — Residential, Commercial & Contract Roofing
Searching for a trusted, accredited roofing contractor in Derby or across Derbyshire? Whether you're managing a full roof replacement, a commercial re-roofing programme, or a multi-property development contract, you've come to the right place. We deliver end-to-end roofing solutions backed by industry accreditations, up to £5 million public liability insurance, and structural warranties of up to 20 years.
Why Choose a Roofing Contractor Over a Sole Trader?
This is one of the most important distinctions any property owner, landlord, or site manager can make — and it's one that Google searches rarely make clear.
There is a fundamental difference between an independent tradesman responding to individual callouts and a structured roofing contractor operating at scale. We deliver end-to-end project management — mobilising trained teams, managing building control processes, and providing full documentation from initial survey through to final handover.
When you hire us, you are not hiring one person with a van. You are engaging a fully organised roofing contractor with:
- A dedicated site supervisor on every project
- Full RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) prepared before work begins
- Public liability insurance of £5,000,000 as standard
- Compliance with UK Building Regulations and Working at Heights Regulations
- Written structural warranties of up to 20 years on qualifying works
This level of accountability matters — particularly for landlords, housing associations, facilities managers, property developers, and anyone managing commercial premises across Derby and Derbyshire.
What Sets a Roofing Contractor Apart?
Method Statements & Risk Assessments Every project begins with a site-specific method statement and risk assessment, satisfying health and safety obligations and protecting your liability position throughout the work. This documentation is prepared as standard — not as an add-on.
Full Project Management A dedicated site supervisor manages operatives, access equipment, material logistics, and programme adherence — so you receive a single accountable point of contact, not a one-man band.
Structural Integrity Focus We assess and address underlying structural conditions, not just surface defects. Where building control involvement is required, we manage the full building control notice process on your behalf — including final sign-off documentation.
Paperwork and Compliance Landlords, site managers, and facilities teams receive the documentation they need: RAMS, material certifications, insurance certificates, and warranty documentation as standard.
Everything is audit-ready from day one.
Our Roofing Services in Derby & Derbyshire
We organise our capabilities by project type rather than individual components. Whether you're a property developer, facilities manager, or estate owner, our roofing services cover the full range of residential, commercial, and new build works across the Derby and Derbyshire area.
We cover every aspect of roofing across Derby and Derbyshire, from emergency callouts to large-scale commercial contracts. Browse our five service categories below to find exactly what you need — or contact our team and we'll point you in the right direction.
1. New Roofs & Replacements
Complete roof replacement, re-roofing, and new roof installation services for residential properties, extensions, garages, and developments across Derby and Derbyshire.
Sometimes a repair is not enough. If your roof is approaching the end of its serviceable life, has suffered significant structural deterioration, or simply no longer performs as it should, a full replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution. We install every major roofing system across the region — with fixed-price quotes and warranties of up to 20 years.
Residential Roofing
ButtonOur core domestic roofing service covers everything from single-property re-roofs to multi-property estate programmes. We work with homeowners, landlords, and estate agents across Derby and Derbyshire, delivering clean, structured, fully guaranteed residential roofing projects.
Flat Roof
ButtonInstalling a new roof on a new build, extension, or converted structure requires precise specification, correct build-up design, and compliance with current Building Regulations. We manage the full process including building control submission, inspection, and sign-off.
Roof Repairs
ButtonA full strip-and-re-roof is the most comprehensive solution for an ageing or failing roof. We strip back to the rafters, inspect and repair the underlying structure, install new underlay, batten, and tile — providing a complete new roofing system with a full structural warranty.
Where a full replacement isn't yet necessary, roof restoration combines structural repairs, ridge rebedding, re-pointing, cleaning, and protective coating to significantly extend the life of your existing roof — at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Residential Roofing
ButtonFrom simple gable roofs to complex hip-and-valley structures, we design and build pitched roofing systems to architectural specification. All pitched roof construction is carried out to current Building Regulations and NHBC standards where applicable.
Flat Roof
ButtonFlat roofing is one of our specialist disciplines. We design and install flat roofing systems for domestic extensions, garages, commercial premises, and industrial buildings across Derby and Derbyshire — with every system backed by a manufacturer warranty.
Roof Repairs
ButtonEPDM is one of the most durable flat roofing membranes available, with a typical lifespan of 25–50 years. Lightweight, flexible, and highly resistant to UV and temperature extremes, it is ideal for large commercial flat roofs and domestic extensions alike.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) fibreglass roofing provides a seamless, rigid, fully waterproof surface that requires virtually no maintenance. It is the preferred system for domestic extensions, porches, and garage roofs across Derby — and comes with a 25-year manufacturer-backed guarantee.
Residential Roofing
ButtonHigh-performance felt roofing systems remain a reliable and cost-effective solution for garages, outbuildings, and lower-pitch domestic roofs. We install modern torch-on and self-adhesive felt systems — far superior to the old three-layer felt that most people are familiar with.
Flat Roof
ButtonNatural and fibre-cement slate roofing combines exceptional longevity with outstanding kerb appeal. Welsh slate, Spanish slate, and synthetic alternatives are all available — each installed to the highest standard with correct head lap, fixings, and ridge detail. A quality slate roof can last over 100 years.
Roof Repairs
ButtonClay roof tiles offer a warmer, more traditional appearance than concrete, with superior colour retention and a lifespan of 40–60 years. We specify and install clay tiling systems across Derby and Derbyshire — including conservation and heritage colour-matched options.
The UK's most widely used roofing material — durable, cost-effective, and available in a wide range of profiles and colours. We install concrete roof tiling systems to all property types across Derbyshire, with a typical lifespan of 30–50 years.
Residential Roofing
ButtonMetal roofing is increasingly popular for both commercial and contemporary domestic applications. Lightweight, incredibly durable, and available in a range of finishes, modern metal roofing systems can last 50–100 years with minimal maintenance.
Flat Roof
ButtonStanding seam is the premium metal roofing system — a clean, architectural finish with concealed fixings and fully weathertight seams. We install standing seam systems in zinc, aluminium, and steel for both commercial and high-specification residential projects across Derbyshire.
Roof Repairs
ButtonCorrugated roofing remains a practical and economical choice for agricultural buildings, industrial units, garages, and outbuildings. We supply and install steel and polycarbonate corrugated systems across the Derby and Derbyshire region.
Onduline corrugated bitumen sheets provide a lightweight, cost-effective waterproofing solution for sheds, outbuildings, and garden structures. Easy to install and highly weather-resistant — a popular choice for smaller domestic projects.
Residential Roofing
ButtonA failing garage roof is one of the most common roofing jobs we carry out across Derby. Whether your garage has a flat felt roof, a pitched tile roof, or an old corrugated sheet roof, we replace it fully — with a new system properly specified for the structure and usage.

Spondon, Derby — DE21
Roof repair
★★★★★
Been meaning to write this for a while — had these come out back in the spring after I noticed a damp patch spreading across the bedroom ceiling. Bit of a worry as I live on me own and didn't know who to trust. A friend down the road had used them before so I gave them a ring. Chap came out within a day or two, had a proper look and explained it were a few slipped slates and some cracked flashing around the stack. Showed me photos on his phone so I could see for myself. Came back the following week, sorted it all in a morning and the damp patch has completely dried out now. Very respectful, kept me informed throughout, and the price was exactly what he'd quoted. Wouldn't use anyone else now.

Chellaston, Derby — DE73
uPVC fascias, soffits & guttering
★★★★★
We had the full package done — all fascias, soffits and guttering replaced on a detached four-bedroom property. The original timber was rotten in several places and had been painted over so many times it was well past saving. The team arrived promptly on the agreed date, worked methodically around the whole house over two days and the quality of the finish is excellent. The new white uPVC looks crisp and clean and has made a noticeable difference to the appearance of the property. All the old material was removed and disposed of, and they were careful not to damage the pointing or brickwork during removal. Competitively priced and thoroughly professional. We would not hesitate to use them again for future work.
Jamie Flint
Chaddesden, Derby — DE21
Chimney removal
★★★★★
Got these guys in to take down a redundant chimney stack that had started leaning slightly — surveyor flagged it and said it needed dealing with. Wasn't really sure what the job involved but they explained it all before starting, took it down to below roof level, made good the roof where it came through, and re-felted and re-tiled the area so you honestly can't tell there was ever a chimney there. They sheeted the whole area off so no mess came into the house and cleared every last bit of rubble from the garden before they left. Two lads, one day, job done. Communication was spot on and the price was fair for the amount of work involved. Really happy with the result.

2. Roof Repairs & Emergency Care
For homeowners and property managers dealing with active leaks, storm damage, or wear-and-tear issues — fast, reliable, fully documented repair work across Derby and Derbyshire.
A damaged roof rarely gives you advance warning. Whether it's a missing tile after a storm, a persistent leak above a bedroom, or cracked flashings letting in water, getting the right contractor on site quickly — and getting it fixed properly — is what matters most.
Residential Roofing
ButtonThe most common roofing service we carry out across Derby. From isolated tile replacements to partial re-roofing, our team identifies the true source of the problem rather than masking the symptoms. All repair work is documented and guaranteed in writing.
Flat Roof
ButtonWhen your roof fails unexpectedly, you need a contractor who can respond the same day. We provide emergency roof repair services across Derby and Derbyshire, deploying trained operatives quickly to make your property watertight and safe.
Roof Repairs
ButtonEmergency Call-Out Services & Planned Maintenance
We offer both reactive emergency callouts and structured planned maintenance agreements — ideal for landlords, facilities managers, and commercial property owners who need a reliable roofing contractor on standing call across Derbyshire.
Storm & Weather Damage Roof Repairs
Derbyshire weather can be brutal on roofing systems. High winds, heavy rain, and freeze-thaw cycles cause significant damage each year. We assess, document, and repair storm damage across the region — and can support insurance claim submissions where required.
Residential Roofing
ButtonCracked, slipped, or missing tiles on a pitched roof are more than a cosmetic issue — they're an open invitation for water ingress. We repair all pitched roof types across Derby including concrete, clay, slate, and interlocking tile systems.
Flat Roof
ButtonFlat roofs are particularly vulnerable to ponding water, membrane splits, and failed joints. Our flat roof repair service covers all systems including EPDM, GRP, felt, and liquid-applied coatings — with full diagnosis before any repair work is carried out.
Roof Repairs
ButtonMetal roofing systems require specialist knowledge to repair correctly. We carry out seam repairs, panel replacements, and sealant renewal on standing seam, corrugated, and profile metal roofing across Derby and Derbyshire.
Shingle roofing, increasingly popular on domestic extensions and outbuildings, can crack, lift, or lose granules over time. We repair and replace individual shingles or sections without disturbing the surrounding roof area.
Residential Roofing
ButtonRidge Tile Repairs & Rebedding
Loose or failed ridge tiles are one of the most common roofing faults we encounter across Derby. Left unaddressed, they become a safety hazard and allow water directly into the roof structure. We rebed and repoint ridge tiles using modern dry-fix or mortar systems to a guaranteed standard.
Flat Roof
ButtonInsurance Roofing Work & Storm Damage Claims Roof Repair
Navigating a roofing insurance claim can be complex. We work directly with homeowners and their insurers, providing detailed photographic surveys, written damage reports, and full scope of works documentation to support your claim and ensure the repair is completed to the required standard.
Roof Repairs
ButtonFrom the initial survey through to the final repair and sign-off, we support you through every stage of the roofing insurance process — ensuring nothing is missed and your insurer receives everything they need to approve the works.

3. Home Upgrades & Specialist Projects
Specialist roofing services for renovations, modernisations, additions, and heritage properties across Derby and Derbyshire.
Roofing is not only about weatherproofing. The right roofing contractor can open up significant opportunities — a loft conversion that creates a new bedroom, roof windows that flood a dark room with natural light, or a green roof that transforms a flat roof extension into a living feature. These are the projects that change how a property feels to live in.
Residential Roofing
ButtonLoft conversions are one of the most cost-effective ways to add space and value to a Derby property. We work alongside structural engineers and main contractors to deliver the roofing elements of loft conversion projects — including dormer structures, hip-to-gable conversions, and new roof light installations — to full Building Regulations compliance.
Flat Roof
ButtonVelux & Roof Window Installation
Correctly installed roof windows transform the light and feel of a loft space — but incorrect installation is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. We install Velux and equivalent roof windows across all roof types in Derby and Derbyshire, including full flashing kits and insulation collars as standard.
Roof Repairs
ButtonBefore solar panels are installed, your roof must be structurally sound and correctly prepared. We survey, repair, and reinforce roof structures across Derby ahead of solar installations — ensuring your panels are mounted on a roof that will last the life of the system without costly remedial works.
Green roofs — sedum and living roof systems — are growing in popularity across Derby and Derbyshire, particularly on flat roof extensions, outbuildings, and commercial buildings. They improve insulation, manage surface water, and significantly extend the life of the waterproofing membrane beneath.
Residential Roofing
ButtonRoof Insulation & Ventilation Upgrades
Poor roof insulation and inadequate ventilation are responsible for a significant proportion of energy loss and condensation problems in Derbyshire homes. We install insulation upgrades and ventilation systems that meet current Building Regulations — reducing heating bills and extending the lifespan of your roof structure.
Flat Roof
ButtonHeritage & Listed Building Roofing
Heritage roofing requires a very particular set of skills, materials knowledge, and sensitivity. We work on listed buildings and heritage properties across Derby and Derbyshire, sourcing period-appropriate materials — including reclaimed natural slate, handmade clay plain tiles, and traditional leadwork — and working in accordance with Historic England guidance and local authority conservation officer requirements.

4. Roof Upgrades, Cleaning & Maintenance
Trust us for all your roofline upgrades and services aimed at protecting your investment — maintenance, cleaning, and weatherproofingfor properties across Derby and Derbyshire.
A well-maintained roof lasts significantly longer than one that is neglected. Regular maintenance, professional cleaning, and the correct application of weatherproofing treatments can add years to the life of any roofing system — and identifying small problems early prevents expensive repairs later.
Residential Roofing
ButtonMortar-bedded ridge tiles are one of the most common repair items we deal with across Derbyshire. A dry ridge system eliminates the need for mortar entirely — replacing it with a ventilated mechanical fixing system that is weather-resistant, low maintenance, and guaranteed. Dry ridge also improves roof ventilation, reducing the risk of condensation in the roof space.
Flat Roof
ButtonTraditional mortar verges crack, loosen, and fail over time — allowing water and wind beneath the tiles. Dry verge systems replace mortar with mechanically fixed interlocking units that require no maintenance and carry a manufacturer guarantee. We install dry verge systems across Derby and Derbyshire as both a standalone upgrade and as part of full re-roof projects.
Roof Repairs
ButtonWe offer a free drone roof survey service across Derby and Derbyshire. Using HD drone technology, we capture detailed aerial footage of your entire roof — identifying defects, damaged areas, and structural concerns that cannot be safely assessed from ground level. You receive a full video and photographic report with no obligation to proceed.
A professional roof survey provides a clear, written condition report on every element of your roofing system — identifying defects, prioritising remedial works, and providing the documentation required for insurance, property transactions, or planned maintenance budgeting. Our surveys are carried out by accredited operatives and provided in written format.
Residential Roofing
ButtonCracked, slipped, or missing tiles on a pitched roof are more than a cosmetic issue — they're an open invitation for water ingress. We repair all pitched roof types across Derby including concrete, clay, slate, and interlocking tile systems.
Roof Repairs
ButtonHigh-quality roof coatings provide a flexible, breathable, weatherproof barrier across the entire roof surface — sealing minor cracks, inhibiting biological growth, and restoring the appearance of ageing tiles. We specify and apply roof coatings across Derby and Derbyshire only where the underlying roof structure genuinely warrants it.
We provide scheduled roof maintenance programmes for homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers across Derbyshire. Regular inspections, minor repairs, gutter clearance, and condition reports — all carried out by accredited operatives and fully documented.
Roof Repairs
ButtonWe understand that a significant roofing project is a major investment. We offer flexible roof financing options to help spread the cost of larger works — making it easier to get the right solution rather than the cheapest short-term fix. Ask our team for details when requesting your survey.
Residential Roofing
ButtonHeavy moss growth is one of the most damaging things that can happen to a pitched roof in the Derbyshire climate. We remove moss and algae safely and treat the surface with long-life biocidal inhibitors — protecting your roof from regrowth for years.
Flat Roof
ButtonMoss, lichen, algae, and biological growth retain moisture against roof surfaces and accelerate deterioration. We provide professional roof cleaning services across Derby and Derbyshire using safe, low-pressure biocidal wash systems that remove growth without damaging tiles or membranes.

We have experience delivering roofing works to schools, healthcare facilities, and local authority buildings across Derbyshire — including all required risk assessments, method statements, DBS-checked operatives where required, and full building control documentation.
Residential Roofing
ButtonRoofing Project Management & Contracting

Compliance, Health & Safety, and Warranties — The Full Picture
When a commercial client, landlord, or site manager appoints a roofing contractor, it's not just the quality of the roof that matters — it's the paper trail behind it. Here is exactly what you receive when you work with us.
Public Liability Insurance — £5,000,000
We carry £5 million public liability insurance on all works, providing full protection for clients, occupiers, and third parties throughout the duration of any contract. Insurance certificates are available on request and will be provided before any works commence on site.
Coverage includes:
- Employers Liability
- Public Liability (£5,000,000)
- Contractors All Risks
- Professional Indemnity
Health & Safety on Every Site
All works are conducted under a comprehensive health and safety management framework. We do not cut corners on site safety — and our documentation reflects that. This includes:
- Working at Heights Regulations compliance
- Scaffold safety inspections and third-party certification
- COSHH assessments for all materials handling
- Toolbox talks and operative briefings before work commences
- Site-specific emergency procedures
UK Building Regulations Compliance
All structural works are completed to current UK Building Regulations. We manage the building control notice process on your behalf, providing full sign-off documentation at project completion. This is particularly important for landlords, investors, and mortgage lenders who require a compliant paper trail for property transactions or remortgaging.
Licensed Waste Management & Site Clearance
All site clearance is conducted by licensed waste carriers with full waste transfer documentation. We are registered waste carriers operating in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act — you will never face a fly-tipping liability from our works. Environmentally responsible disposal as standard.
Structural Warranty — up to 20 Years
Major works are issued with a written structural warranty of up to 20 years, providing long-term protection for property owners, investors, and mortgage lenders. Our warranties are insurance-backed where required, providing protection even in the unlikely event of business changes.
How We Manage Your Roofing Project — From Survey to Handover
A structured four-phase delivery model ensures every project is planned thoroughly, executed precisely, and handed over with full documentation. No surprises. No revised invoices. No hidden costs.
Phase 1 — Comprehensive Site Survey & Risk Assessment
Before any price is agreed or any work is programmed, we conduct a full physical or drone roof survey to map defects, outline core structural requirements, and identify site-specific risk factors. You receive a written survey report — not just a verbal opinion.
Phase 2 — Fixed-Price Specification & Tendering
Providing transparent, line-item itemised breakdowns including material schedules, access costs (scaffolding), and strict timelines. Our quotes include everything: materials, labour, access equipment, waste removal, and VAT — ensuring no hidden variables. Fixed price means fixed price.
Phase 3 — Project Execution & Site Management
Mobilising trained operatives under a dedicated supervisor, ensuring minimal operational disruption and strict compliance with health and safety mandates throughout. Regular progress updates are provided — you will always know where your project stands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Roofers in Derby
How much does a roof replacement cost in Derby?
The cost of a full roof replacement in the Derby and Derbyshire area typically ranges from £7,000 to £20,000+, depending on the size of the property, the roofing material chosen, and the complexity of the work involved. A standard 3-bedroom semi-detached house using concrete tiles will generally fall between £8,000 and £14,000 including scaffolding, strip-off, new underlay, battens, tiles, and all leadwork. Natural slate installations typically cost more, ranging from £13,000 to £20,000+. We provide a fully itemised, fixed-price quote following a free site survey — so you know exactly what you are paying before work begins.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most standard roof replacements on 3 to 4-bedroom homes in Derby take between 5 and 10 working days. Larger commercial or multi-property contracts will be programmed individually. All timelines are confirmed in writing during the tendering phase.
Is it better to repair or replace my roof?
As a general guide, if more than 25–30% of your tiles are damaged, or your roof is over 30 years old, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run. Repeated patch repairs on an ageing roof can accumulate to the cost of a replacement over a 5–10 year period — without the benefit of a new warranty. We will always give you an honest assessment during our survey.
Do I need planning permission for a roof replacement in Derbyshire?
In most cases, no. Standard roof replacements using similar materials fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. However, if your property is in a conservation area, is a listed building, or involves significant structural changes, you may need approval from Derby City Council or Derbyshire County Council. We will advise you on this during the initial survey.
What accreditations should I look for in a roofing contractor?
When appointing a roofing contractor in Derby or Derbyshire, look for CHAS accreditation, NFRC membership, and proof of public liability insurance. Also check that they carry out formal risk assessments, provide written fixed-price quotes, and offer a written warranty on completed works. We hold all of the above and will provide documentation before work begins.
Do you provide roofing services for landlords and property managers in Derby?
Yes — landlord and portfolio roofing is one of our core service areas. We work with private landlords, letting agents, housing associations, and property management companies across Derby and Derbyshire, delivering planned maintenance programmes, full re-roofs, and emergency repair contracts under a single managed agreement. We understand the compliance requirements that come with rented property and ensure all works are documented accordingly.
Can you work alongside architects and main contractors on new build projects?
Yes. We have significant experience working as a specialist roofing sub-contractor alongside main contractors, architects, and developers across Derbyshire. We understand programme pressures, NHBC requirements, and the importance of plot completion deadlines. Speak to our contracts team about early contractor involvement and pre-contract design assistance.
What is the difference between EPDM, GRP, and liquid roofing systems?
These are the three most common flat roofing systems used on commercial and domestic properties across Derby:
- EPDM (rubber roofing) — highly durable, low maintenance, typically lasts 25–50 years. Ideal for large commercial flat roofs.
- GRP (fibreglass roofing) — rigid, seamless, and extremely weather-resistant. Popular for domestic extensions and garage roofs.
- Liquid coating systems — cold-applied, ideal for refurbishment over existing flat roofs. Fast to install with minimal disruption.
Our team will recommend the most suitable system for your property during the site survey.

How Derby's Housing Heritage Shapes the Roofing Challenges Homeowners Face Today
Derby is not a city with one type of housing. It never has been. Walk from Friar Gate to Normanton, then out to Chaddesden and across to Chellaston, and you pass through centuries of building history — each era leaving behind its own roofing materials, methods, and maintenance needs.
Georgian and Victorian Foundations
The oldest domestic roofs still standing in Derby date from the Georgian period. The grand townhouses on Friar Gate were built with Welsh slate and lime mortar — materials designed to breathe and flex. They have lasted 250 years because they were built correctly. Maintaining them requires the same respect for the original materials.
The Victorian expansion of the 1870s and 1880s pushed Derby outward into Normanton and Pear Tree. These terraced streets were roofed predominantly in natural Welsh slate. After 140 years, that slate is reaching the end of its working life on many properties — and the original lime mortar pointing has long since failed on most.
Edwardian Semis and Post-War Estates
Edwardian semis across Mackworth and Mickleover introduced clay plain tiles and more decorative ridge detailing. Post-war council building brought the concrete interlocking tile to Derby — functional and fast to lay, but now 50 to 70 years old on estates across Sinfin, Spondon, and Chaddesden.
Modern Builds
Newer developments in Chellaston and Borrowash use modern concrete and fibre cement tiles with different batten spacing, underlay specifications, and ventilation requirements.
At Derby Roofers, we have worked across all of these property types for over 20 years. We know what each one needs — and what each one cannot tolerate.
