Why do roofing quotes vary so much?

Because two roofs that look alike from the street can need very different amounts of work once you are on them. These are the factors that move the price:

  • Roof size and pitch. A larger or steeper roof takes more time, more materials and more scaffold.
  • Materials. Concrete interlocking tiles are the most affordable; clay plain tiles and natural slate cost more to buy and take longer to lay.
  • Scaffolding. Most roof work needs it, and the configuration changes with height, access and whether a conservatory or extension sits under the working edge.
  • Timber condition. Rotten rafters, battens or wall plates have to be replaced — and they are often only visible once the tiles are stripped.
  • Chimneys and party walls. Every stack and abutment needs new lead, and shared stacks on terraces frequently need repointing at the same time.
  • Exposure. Roofs on the higher ground around Bardon Hill and the edge of Charnwood take more weather, so ridge, verge and mortar work tends to be more extensive.

How do you avoid overpaying for roofing work?

  • Get at least two or three written quotes — not phone estimates.
  • Ask exactly what is and is not included: VAT, scaffolding, waste disposal, skip permit, lead work, new battens and underlay.
  • Check the roofer is insured — ask to see the public liability certificate (ours is £5 million public liability).
  • Ask for the workmanship guarantee in writing, and who it is issued by.
  • Be wary of cash-only quotes, large upfront deposits, or anyone who knocks on the door after a storm.

Roofing cost FAQs

How much does a roof repair cost in Coalville?

Most roof repairs — slipped or cracked tiles, a small leak, a section of flashing — start from around £150. A minor repair with no scaffolding is typically £150–£350; a larger repair that needs scaffold, such as ridge tiles or chimney flashing, is £350–£900+. We give you a free written price after seeing the roof, so you know the exact cost before any work starts.

How much does a new roof or full re-roof cost?

A full re-roof on a typical semi-detached house is £4,000–£6,500 with concrete or clay tiles; a detached house is £6,000–£9,000+ depending on its footprint and the tile chosen. The final figure depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the covering, and whether any timber needs renewing once the old tiles are off, so we inspect first and give a free, itemised written quote.

How much does a flat roof cost?

Flat roofs start from around £895. A felt (torch-on) roof on a garage or extension is typically £895–£1,500; a longer-life GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber roof is £1,200–£3,500+ depending on size. We recommend the right system for the roof and quote it free after measuring up.

How much does chimney repair or repointing cost?

Minor chimney work — small repairs to pointing, flaunching or a new lead flashing — starts from around £150; a full repoint is typically £350–£800. A rebuild is quoted individually after we have assessed the stack. The quote is free and in writing either way.

How much does Velux or skylight installation cost?

Velux and roof-window installation starts from around £695 and is typically £695–£1,800 supplied and fitted, depending on the window size and the roof. We quote it free once we know the size and position.

How much do new fascias, soffits and guttering cost?

Roofline repairs start from around £150. A full uPVC roofline replacement — fascias, soffits and guttering — is typically £800–£2,500, priced by the length of roofline and the access needed. We give a free fixed quote after measuring up.

Is EPDM or GRP cheaper for a flat roof?

They are close on price, and both sit in the £1,200–£3,500+ band for a typical garage or extension. EPDM rubber is quick to fit and very durable on low pitches; GRP fibreglass gives a seamless, hard-wearing finish and suits roofs that get walked on. We advise which suits your roof and can quote both so you can compare.

How much is a drone roof survey?

A drone roof survey is free when it is part of a quote on a roof you own. A stand-alone pre-purchase survey — for a house you are thinking of buying — is £149, and you get the photographs so you can see the condition of the roof before you commit.

Do you charge for quotes or call-outs?

No. Every quote is free and carries no obligation, and there is no charge for coming out to look at the roof before quoting.

What affects the cost of a new roof?

Five things: the size and pitch of the roof; the covering you choose (concrete interlocking tiles are the cheapest, clay plain tiles and natural slate cost more); how much scaffolding is needed; the condition of the battens and rafters underneath, which only shows fully once the old covering is off; and how easy the roof is to reach for materials and waste.

What affects the cost of a re-roof on a Coalville terrace?

Four things move a terrace re-roof up or down. Party walls: each abutment needs new lead soakers and flashings, and the join to the neighbours' roofs has to be made cleanly. Chimneys: shared stacks often need repointing or rebuilding while the scaffold is up. The change of covering: swapping old slate for concrete tiles adds weight, so the rafters are checked and sometimes strengthened, and new battens and breathable underlay are always needed. Access: a scaffold on a street frontage or in a narrow rear yard, and a skip permit if the skip has to sit on the road. A mid-terrace roof is smaller than a semi's, so the price is often below the typical semi range — but only an inspection can say by how much.
