Pricing guide

Roof replacement cost is mainly driven by access, roofing material and the condition of the substrate. Multi-storey properties needing scaffolding or specialist slate and heritage work typically increase labour and handling time, while major structural carpentry or unusually constrained access can add to the overall scope. Waste disposal and timing (for example after-hours attendance) may also affect the final cost.

  • Roof height and access

    Properties requiring scaffolding or elevated access usually add setup time and complexity, and unusually constrained access can require extra equipment or adjustments.

  • Roofing material and heritage work

    Specialist materials such as slate or heritage flashings typically need more skilled labour, careful handling and specific materials, which increases the scope.

  • Substrate and structural repairs

    Minor substrate repairs are commonly included, but major structural carpentry is generally quoted separately and increases the project scope.

  • Waste removal and disposal

    Standard waste disposal is usually allowed for typical volumes, while heavy or fragile materials like reclaimed slate often require higher disposal effort.

  • Roof size and complexity

    Larger roofs or complex layouts with multiple levels, chimneys or skylights generally take more time and materials to complete.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a roof replacement take?
Timelines vary with roof size, access and whether specialist materials are used. Straightforward like-for-like re-roofs are usually quicker, while multi-storey homes, heritage slate work or jobs needing structural repairs will typically take longer; your roofer can provide a project estimate.
Will I need scaffolding for multi-storey homes?
Where scaffolding or elevated access is required for multiple storeys, scaffold and setup allowances are typically factored into that job profile. If access is unusually constrained, additional access solutions may be needed and quoted separately.
Is major carpentry work included in the quote?
Major structural carpentry is generally quoted separately, as standard profiles assume only minor substrate repairs. Providers will usually outline any additional structural work needed before proceeding.
Do roofers need a licence to work?
Licence requirements for roofing are mandatory, so work should be carried out by a licensed roofer. It's reasonable to ask to see the roofer's licence and any relevant compliance documentation before work begins.
Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
