Roof Cost for a Detached House
Detached roofs are not simply bigger, they are usually more complicated, and complication costs more per square metre than area does. Hips, valleys, dormers, garages tying in and two or three elevations of scaffold all add up before a single tile is ordered.
- Typically a third to a half above the equivalent semi range
- Scaffold usually needed on three or four elevations
- Hips and valleys add cutting and detailing time
- Attached garage and porch roofs often tie into the programme
- Longer programme, usually a week or more on site

Detached roofs, common questions
Why is my detached quote more than double the semi figures?+
Almost always complexity plus access rather than pure area. Four elevations of scaffold, hips, valleys and a dormer will each add, and together they compound.
Can the work be phased?+
Yes, and on very large roofs it sometimes makes sense to do the worst elevations first. The trade off is paying for access more than once, which we set out so you can weigh it.
Do you handle conservation area requirements?+
Where the property sits in a conservation area we match materials to what is required and provide the specification in writing for any approval you need. We flag it at survey rather than after the order.
