Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost?
It depends on the material, roof size and shape, access and the condition of the timbers underneath. UK cost guides put a full re-roof of a typical three-bedroom semi at roughly £5,000 to £16,000 in 2026, with scaffolding, stripping the old roof and VAT sometimes on top. Only a roofer who has seen the roof can give you an exact price (typical ranges, last reviewed September 2026).
How long does a new roof installation take?
A straightforward re-roof on a standard house commonly takes up to about a week in good weather. Structural repairs, dormers, complex roof shapes or listed building requirements can make it longer. Ask the roofer for a written timeline before work begins.
