Hourly rates are €40 to €87 in the US, £35-85 in the UK, A€47-150 in Australia, R280-750 in South Africa, and C€40-140 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 €3,330. 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.
