Roofing & Guttering

As a 2025 UK guide, a roofing project typically costs between £2,000 and £12,000. The biggest factors are repair vs full re-roof, roof size, pitch and access/scaffolding, and materials — tiles, slate or flat systems. These are guide figures only — the best way to get an accurate price is two or three quotes, which our free matching service arranges for you.

Most roofing project projects take around 2 days–2 weeks on site, plus design time and any approvals beforehand. Your matched specialist will give you a firm schedule once they've seen the project.

A like-for-like repair doesn't need permission. Re-covering more than a quarter of a roof slope usually falls under building regulations, and changing the roof shape or materials significantly can need planning — particularly on listed buildings or in conservation areas. An insured roofer will confirm and handle sign-off.

Occasional slipped or cracked tiles are usually a repair. Widespread damage, sagging, failing underlay or a roof near the end of its life often make a full re-roof more cost-effective long term. A proper inspection — ideally from scaffolding — gives you an honest answer.

Safe access is a real cost on any job at height, and it's not somewhere to cut corners. Roof size, pitch and how easy the property is to reach all move the price, which is why quotes vary — getting two or three is the best way to compare fairly.
