What This Guide Covers

New roof costs vary hugely depending on the size, pitch, material and condition of your existing roof - there's no single number that applies to every home. This guide breaks down the main factors that affect price, gives realistic UK-average cost ranges by roof type, and explains how to get an accurate, no-obligation quote.

The figures below are general guide prices to help you budget and compare - not a quote for your specific home. Every roof is different, which is why every job we price is based on a free, in-person survey.

If you’d rather skip straight to a proper price for your own roof, get in touch and we’ll arrange a free survey and written, itemised quote.

What Affects the Cost of a New Roof

The main factors that push a quote up or down.

  • Roof Size

    The single biggest factor - a larger roof area means more materials and more labour.

  • Roof Pitch & Access

    Steep roofs, tricky access and the need for scaffolding all add to the cost.

  • Material Choice

    Concrete tile, natural slate, clay tile and flat roofing systems all sit at different price points.

  • Condition of the Structure

    Rotten timbers or damaged decking found during the strip-off add to the job.

  • Scaffolding Requirements

    Scaffold cost depends on roof height, access and how long it's needed on site.

  • Removal & Waste Disposal

    Stripping off and disposing of the old roof covering is priced into every quote.

  • Number of Roof Features

    Chimneys, valleys, dormers and skylights all add time and materials.

  • Time of Year

    Demand and weather can affect pricing and availability at busy times of year.
