What moves the price
- Materials used — natural slate costs more than concrete tiles, and flat roofing materials vary widely in price.
- Complexity of the job — valleys, chimneys and roof lights all add detailed work for the roofer.
- Size of the area needing work — a bigger roof needs more tiles, felt and battens, and more days for the roofer.
- Condition of the roof — rotten battens or decking found under the tiles add work to the roofing job.
- Scaffolding and access — a tall house or a roof over a busy path needs scaffolding before the roofer can start.

How to pay less
- Repairing the damaged part of a roof usually costs less than a full re-roof, so you can ask whether a repair will last.
- Booking gutter, chimney and roof work in one visit shares the scaffolding cost rather than paying for it twice.
- Concrete tiles usually cost less than natural slate, so you can ask the roofer to price both.
- Booking routine roof maintenance outside the stormy season can avoid paying emergency call-out rates for the roofer.
- Fixing a slipped tile or small leak early usually costs much less than repairing rotten timbers and ceilings later.
Before you book
- Access to the roof and any areas that require work.
- Information about the roof's current condition and any previous issues.
- Details regarding any specific roofing materials you prefer.
- Your budget and timeline for the roof work, so the roofer can suggest repair or replacement to suit.
- You can ask about the roofer's training and experience, and how they will work safely at height on your roof.
