£105-£190/sqm for Welsh slate, £80-£145/sqm for Spanish. Includes strip-off, breather membrane, battens, slate, ridges, leadwork (Code 4 / Code 5), Velux integration. Quote disposal (£500-£1,800) and scaffold (£1,400-£4,800 typical Coventry semi) as separate lines.
Post-Blitz rebuild stock (1945-1965) in Tile Hill (CV4), Wood End (CV2) and central infill commonly carries first-generation concrete tile reaching end-of-life. Quote per-house (£7,500-£16,000 for full re-roof including strip-off, breather membrane, battens, modern concrete or clay interlocking tile, ridges, leadwork). Add £600-£2,000 per chimney stack.
Yes, specialist niche. Leamington Spa (CV31/CV32) Regency stucco terraces have intricate parapet leadwork (Code 4 / Code 5) and box-gutter detail. Specialist heritage leadwork commands £85-£160/LF with Warwick District Conservation Officer sign-off where listed. Build experience here commands a premium.
Hourly rates are £35 to £76 in the US, £35-85 in the UK, A£41-150 in Australia, R280-750 in South Africa, and C£35-140 in Canada. Most roofers prefer fixed-price by square metre for installs and reserve hourly for repairs and inspections.
A typical 3-bed single-storey home takes 4-7 working days for a strip-and-replace, including new sarking and ridge bedding. Larger or steeper roofs run 7-14 days. Weather delays add 1-3 days in winter or wet season.
Yes, 2-3 quotes for any reroof over £2,920. Compare materials (tile brand, sheet thickness), sarking inclusion, gutter scope, and warranty length. The cheapest quote often skips sarking or uses budget-grade fixings.
A proper inspection walks the roof, photographs every section, checks battens, flashings, valleys, gutters, and the ceiling cavity for water staining. Reports run 4-8 pages with photo evidence. Drone-only inspections miss too much; insist on a roof-walk.
Most regions: like-for-like reroofs do not need permits, but switching material (tile to sheet) sometimes does. Heritage-listed properties always need approval. The roofer should know and include permits as a line item.
