Cost guide

How Much Does a New Roof Cost?

The honest answer is that a new roof is priced by area, covering, access and how much of the structure underneath needs putting right, and nobody can give you a real figure without seeing it. What we can do on this page is show you the ranges we actually work to on North East houses, explain which of the four factors is moving your price, and let you decide whether you are ready for a free survey.

Concrete tile re-roof on a three bed semi, 7,500 to 12,500
Clay tile re-roof on a three bed semi, 10,000 to 16,000
Natural Welsh slate re-roof, 14,000 to 22,000
Spanish slate re-roof, 10,000 to 16,000
Figures assume sound rafters, standard access and include scaffold

The four things that move the number

Area first. A roof is priced per square metre of covering, so a wide detached house costs more than a narrow terrace even when they look similar from the pavement. Covering second, and the gap between concrete tile and natural slate is the single biggest swing on this page. Access third, because a roof you can scaffold from a driveway is cheaper than one behind a shared back lane. Condition of the timbers fourth, and that is the one nobody can price from a photograph.

What is included in our figures

Strip and dispose of the old covering, breathable underlay, treated batten, new dry fix ridge, renewed lead flashings, scaffold, and a clean site at the end. If a quote you have been given is meaningfully cheaper than the ranges above, the usual reason is that one of those items has been left out, most often the scaffold or the flashings.

When a new roof is not the answer

Plenty of the roofs we survey do not need replacing. A covering with fifteen good years left and a failed flashing needs the flashing doing, not eleven thousand pounds of tiles. We will tell you that at the survey, in writing, and we would rather do the small job well and be the people you call in ten years.

Next step, no pressure

If you are still at the reading stage, use the by property type and by roof type pages below to narrow the range. When you want a real number, the survey is free, we get to roof level, we photograph what we find, and the written quote comes by email so you can sit with it.

New roof cost, common questions

Can you price a new roof over the phone?+

We can tell you which of the ranges on this page you are likely to be in, and that is genuinely useful for deciding whether to go further. We will not give you a fixed figure without getting up there, because the timbers and the flashings are where the surprises live.

How long does a full re-roof take?+

A standard three bed semi is usually three to five working days on site once the scaffold is up, weather permitting. Larger detached properties and anything with complicated valleys or dormers run longer, and we tell you the programme before you commit.

Is scaffold included in your prices?+

Yes, on the ranges above. Scaffold is not an optional extra on a full re-roof, it is a legal and practical requirement, and quotes that leave it out are not comparable.

Do you take a deposit?+

For a full re-roof we take a materials payment at the start and the balance on completion once you have walked round it with us. We do not ask for the full amount up front.
