Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with whether the visit is a diagnostic and minor repair or a full section replacement that involves tear-out, new underlay and flashing. Access needs (scaffold or EWP), heritage or tile-matching work, multi-person labour and coordination with other trades typically increase complexity and duration. If hazardous materials or specialist remediation are identified, additional specialist quotes and licences may be required and can further affect overall cost.

  • Extent of work required

    Minor on-the-spot repairs are typically much simpler than tear-out and section replacement which adds labour and materials.

  • Roof material and heritage sensitivity

    Tile or slate roofs that need careful matching or delicate re-bedding usually require more time and may have longer lead times for matching materials.

  • Site access and equipment needs

    Where safe ladder access isn't available and scaffold or an elevated work platform is needed, setup and removal add time and complexity.

  • Crew size and trade coordination

    Jobs that need multi-person labour or coordination with carpentry or leadwork typically take longer and involve more planning.

  • Hazardous materials and remediation

    If hazardous materials are found, specialist remediation and additional licences or quotes may be required, increasing scope.
