A damaged roof can’t wait — but knowing what you should realistically expect to pay can help you make the right decision. To make things easier, we’ve created a clear, up-to-date guide to roof repair costs in Chelmsford for 2025, based on common issues we see across CM1, CM2, CM3 and surrounding areas.
As always, exact pricing depends on the type of roof, the materials used, the level of damage and access to the property — but these estimates will give you a solid starting point.
Typical Roof Repair Costs in Chelmsford (2025)
Broken or Slipped Tiles — £80 to £250
One of the most common repairs in Chelmsford homes.
Costs depend on:
-
- Number of tiles replaced
-
- Ease of access
- Height of the roof
Roof Leak Repairs — £150 to £450
Leaks often come from:
-
- Cracked tiles
-
- Damaged flashing
-
- Worn underfelt
-
- Nail fatigue on older roofs
Small leaks are quick fixes, but long-term water damage increases costs.
Flat Roof Repairs — £120 to £500
GRP, felt, and rubber roofs require specialist attention.
Costs depend on whether the problem is:
-
- Minor blistering
-
- Cracks or splits
-
- Worn or deteriorated membranes
- Bad previous installation
Chimney Flashing Repairs — £150 to £350
Lead flashing failures are extremely common in Chelmsford’s older homes.
Repairs prevent water running behind the chimney stack.
Ridge Tile Repointing — £200 to £600
Loose or cracked ridge tiles can lead to leaks and wind damage.
Prices depend on roof height and the length of ridge to be repointed.
Full Roof Replacement — £4,500 to £12,000+
When a roof is beyond repair, a full replacement becomes more cost-effective.
Cost varies based on:
-
- Size of property
-
- Type of tile (slate, concrete, clay)
-
- Structural or insulation upgrades
-
- Waste disposal and scaffolding
If you’re unsure whether you need a repair or replacement, we can assess your roof and give honest recommendations.
