What moves a roofing quote
Access is the quiet giant of roofing prices. A semi with a drive and a gable end scaffolds cheaply; a mid-terrace with no rear alley, a tall Saltburn villa, or a plot needing a pavement licence adds real money before a tile is touched. Any honest quote shows scaffolding as its own line.
The covering comes next. Concrete interlocking tile is the value option. Reclaimed Welsh slate sits in the middle and keeps period roofs authentic. New natural slate is the premium. On flat roofs, EPDM and GRP cost more than felt up front and repay it in lifespan.
What the survey finds underneath finishes the story. Perished underlay, rotten battens, and degraded leadwork are invisible from the ground, and they are why phone quotes for roofing are worth nothing. The quotes here are priced off an actual inspection.
Repair or replace: the money line
The trade's rough rule: when a repair quote passes about a third of replacement cost, and the roof is past two-thirds of its life, replacement is usually the better spend. £400 of repointing on a sound roof is money well spent; £2,000 of patching on a slate roof with wholesale nail fatigue is a deposit on the inevitable. Our repair or re-roof guide walks the decision properly.
How to judge a quote
- Itemised: materials by make and profile, underlay type, scaffolding, waste, each on its own line.
- Inclusive: VAT stated, no "plus extras to be agreed" escape hatches.
- Guaranteed: workmanship guarantee in writing, membrane and tile manufacturer warranties where relevant.
- Insured: public liability shown on request. Roofing is work above your head, insurance is not optional.
