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.
