Range across all configurations, before regional adjustment
Scaffolding is usually required for all roof work and often adds £500-£1,500 to the total (included in these estimates for re-roofs, excluded for minor repairs). Slate is the most expensive material but lasts 75-100+ years. Concrete tiles are the most affordable and last 40-60 years. Clay tiles sit in between and last 60-80+ years. For older properties, check whether a bat survey is needed before work begins - this is a legal requirement if bats are present. Full re-roof prices include stripping old tiles, replacing any damaged battens and felt, and fitting new tiles. Excludes chimney work, lead flashing replacement, or structural timber repairs.
