Saves clients £350-£900 per job and accelerates timeline by 4-8 weeks. State scheme number on every quote. Annual scheme fees £550-£1,200; recovered in 3-5 jobs.
The Park + Mapperley Park heritage restoration
The Park (NG7) and Mapperley Park (NG3) Listed Buildings have original Welsh slate, clay plain tile and bonnet tile roofs. Quote heritage tile restoration at premium (£175-£365/sqm installed) with reclaimed matched tile. Many properties Listed; Nottingham City Council Conservation Officer requires like-for-like restoration over concrete-tile replacement. Lead times 8-16 weeks for reclaimed sourcing.
Standard concrete and slate tile
20th-century semis and detached in Sherwood (NG5), Carlton (NG4), Mapperley (NG3) outer, Arnold and West Bridgford suburbs have concrete interlocking tile (Marley Modern, Redland Mini Stonewold) or natural Welsh slate. Quote per-sqm installed: concrete tile £80-£160/sqm; natural Welsh slate £160-£280/sqm; clay plain tile £145-£245/sqm. Premium postcodes (NG7, NG3, NG8, NG2) carry 20-35% premium.
Flat-roof EPDM/GRP for rear extensions
Rear-extension flat roofs are dominant in Victorian and Edwardian semis in Sherwood, Carlton, Mapperley and West Bridgford. Quote per-sqm installed: EPDM (Firestone RubberCover, Classicbond) £85-£160/sqm; GRP £95-£180/sqm; warm-deck single-ply (TPO) £125-£220/sqm. State warranty (15-20 years EPDM, 20-25 years GRP) on every quote.
Building Regs Part L upgrade
Part L (energy efficiency, 2021 edition driving toward Future Homes Standard 2025) drives loft-insulation upgrade scope on every reroof. Quote 300mm mineral wool quilt or 150mm PIR over rafters at £25-£55/sqm of roof area as separate line. Many Nottingham pre-1900 properties have 100mm or less insulation; uplift is mandatory under Part L on reroofs.
East Midlands weather membrane spec
Nottingham gets ~610mm rain/year (relatively dry for UK) with cool wet winters and freeze-thaw cycles (40-60 per year). Quote premium breather-membrane underlay (Tyvek Supro, Klober Permo Forte) at £8-£15/sqm over standard underlay. Standard underlay fails in 8-12 years on north-facing pitches; premium lasts 25-35 years. State warranty on the quote. Avoid roofing in winds over 25mph or rain; quote weather contingency days on every project.

£175-£365/sqm installed with reclaimed matched Welsh slate, clay plain tile or bonnet tile. Many properties in The Park (NG7) and Mapperley Park (NG3) Listed; Nottingham City Council Conservation Officer requires like-for-like restoration over concrete-tile replacement.

Per-sqm installed: EPDM (Firestone RubberCover, Classicbond) £85-£160; GRP £95-£180; warm-deck single-ply (TPO) £125-£220. State warranty (15-20 years EPDM, 20-25 years GRP) on every quote. Quote Part L insulation upgrade (PIR over deck, £25-£55/sqm) as separate line.
Yes, on every reroof. Part L (2021 edition driving toward Future Homes Standard 2025) drives loft-insulation upgrade scope. Quote 300mm mineral wool quilt or 150mm PIR over rafters at £25-£55/sqm of roof area as separate line. Many Nottingham pre-1900 properties have 100mm or less insulation; uplift is mandatory under Part L on reroofs.
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.
