How We Price Roofing Work
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Here's a straightforward look at what drives the cost of a roofing job and how to get an accurate quote.
Why Roofing Is Quoted, Not Priced Off a Shelf
Roofing is one of those trades where a headline price rarely tells the whole story. The cost of putting something right depends on your particular roof, its size, how easy it is to reach, the materials it needs and what we find once we take a proper look.
Rather than publish prices that could mislead you, we give every job a free survey and a written, no-obligation quote. Below you'll find the main things that influence what a job costs, so you know what goes into your figure.
What Affects the Price of Your Job
Size of the Job
The area of roof involved is the biggest single factor, whether that is a handful of tiles or a complete re-roof measured in square metres.
Access & Height
How easy the roof is to reach matters. A low single-storey extension is simpler than a steep three-storey roof needing scaffolding or a tower.
Materials Chosen
Clay, concrete, natural slate, EPDM, GRP and lead all sit at different price points, and matching an existing material can affect cost too.
Condition Underneath
Once we open up a roof we sometimes find tired timbers, felt or insulation that need attention. We always explain this before going ahead.
Duration & Labour
A job that takes a day costs less than one that runs over a week. Complexity, detailing and the number of people needed all play a part.
Urgency
Emergency and out-of-hours call-outs to make a roof safe quickly are priced differently from planned, scheduled work.

Common Questions About Cost
Still not sure? Call us and we'll happily explain how we'd price your particular job.
Why don’t you list fixed prices online?
Because no two roofs are the same. The honest answer is that a fair price depends on the size, access, materials and condition of your specific roof. A fixed online price would either overcharge some customers or underquote others, so we prefer to look properly and give you an accurate figure.
Is the survey and quote really free?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation surveys and written quotes. You are under no pressure to go ahead, and there is no charge for us coming out to take a look and price the work.
Do you charge for emergency call-outs?
Emergency and out-of-hours work to make a roof safe is priced according to the urgency and what is involved. We will always be upfront about costs before carrying out any work.
What if you find extra problems once you start?
If we uncover something that was not visible at the survey stage, such as rotten timber under the covering, we stop and explain it to you with the options and costs before carrying on. You stay in control of what is spent.
Do you offer any payment flexibility?
Payment terms depend on the size and type of job. Talk to us about what you need when we quote and we will do our best to work with you.
