New roof installation cost guide

The cost of a new roof installation depends on factors such as roof size, material choice, and access to the property. Smaller or simpler roof structures generally cost less than large or complex roofs.

Costs can increase if:

  • Premium materials such as slate or specialist tiles are used
  • Scaffolding is required
  • Structural repairs are needed
  • Insulation or ventilation is upgraded

Because every property and roof design is different, posting your job is the best way to receive quotes based on your specific requirements.

Really easy to use. I posted the job in the morning and had quotes back the same day. Ended up booking someone local and the work was spot on.

Nicky, Homeowner

So much simpler than ringing around. I got a couple of quotes, compared them, and picked the one that felt right. Would definitely use again.

Dan, Homeowner

Great service. The builder was very clear and local to me, so I’m not wasting time on the wrong type of quotes. I’ve already listed a new bit of work for a quote!

New roofing materials are then installed, along with insulation, underlay, and ventilation where required. Once complete, the roof is finished, sealed, and inspected to ensure it is weatherproof and structurally sound before the job is signed off.
