Pricing guide

The cost of repairing a roof leak depends mainly on the roof material and the extent of any substrate or decking damage. Localised, single‑visit repairs are typically less expensive than jobs that need decking replacement, scaffold hire, heritage material matching, multi‑trade coordination or after‑hours attendance, and some jobs may also require licensed hazardous‑material removal or building approvals which add time and scope.

  • Roof material and heritage work

    Slate, lead or specialist metalwork usually take longer to source and match and often need specialist craft skills.

  • Extent of substrate or decking damage

    Visible or suspected decking or structural damage typically requires replacement and multi‑day carpentry work, increasing scope and time.

  • Access, scaffold and safety equipment

    Limited roof access or the need for scaffold and fall‑prevention systems generally extends labour time and equipment hire requirements.

  • Need for multi‑trade coordination and approvals

    Structural repairs often involve carpenters or other trades and may require building approvals, which adds coordination and duration.

  • Callout, location and timing

    Regional callouts, travel distance and after‑hours attendance typically raise the overall charge compared with a standard weekday visit.
