Roof Cost Guides

A dated cost breakdown, clear replacement scope and practical steps to build a roofing budget from measurements, allowances, quotes and contingency.

What roofers actually charge per day in 2026, what a gang day buys, and why a day rate alone is not a complete quote for a re-roof.

Compare covering prices per square metre without mixing supply-only and installed figures. Includes lifespan, weight and quote checklists.

Separate membrane prices from decking and insulation, compare realistic lifespans and avoid the quotes that reuse a rotten deck.

Cut cost through scope, timing and material choices — not by stripping felt, battens or scaffolding from the specification.

Typical prices for common repairs, when repair beats replacement, and the £150 call-out reality behind cheap quotes.

Full replacement vs capping over, uPVC vs aluminium pricing per metre, and why access makes up half the cost.

Typical UK scaffold prices for roof work, when towers are enough, and why the cheapest quote often excludes it.
