Roofing Cost Guide for Shirehampton
We do not publish a price list, because two roofs on the same street can cost very different amounts. Here is what actually drives the price — and how to get a quote you can trust.
Why there is no price table here
A roof repair can be one tile or a whole valley. A re-roof can be a small terrace slope or a hipped roof with a chimney, two dormers and a lead-lined valley. Rather than quote a figure that would not apply to your house, this page explains what moves the price up or down. Every quote we give is free, written and specific to your roof.
What affects the price
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size and number of slopes | A simple two-slope terrace roof costs less than a hipped roof with valleys, dormers and a chimney. |
| Covering | Clay pantile, double-Roman, natural slate and concrete tile all differ in material cost, weight and fixing time. |
| Matching old materials | Sourcing reclaimed clay or slate to match a period roof can add cost — but avoids a visible patch. |
| Access | Scaffold is a significant part of many jobs. Narrow lanes, conservatories and three-storey houses all affect it. |
| What is under the tiles | Rotten battens, failed felt or damaged timber only become clear once the roof is opened. We quote for what we can see and agree any extra in writing before doing it. |
| Leadwork and chimneys | Flashings, valleys and chimney work can be a large part of a re-roof price. |
| Planning and consent | Listed buildings and some conservation-area changes need consent, which can affect material choice and timing. |

Cost questions
Is the quote really free?
Yes. We visit, inspect and give you a written price with no obligation.
Why do quotes vary so much?
Usually because they are not quoting for the same work. Check whether each includes scaffold, membrane, battens, leadwork and a written guarantee.
Will the price change once work starts?
Only if something hidden is found, such as rotten timber, and only after we have shown you and agreed the extra in writing.
