Straight answers from the people on the roof
Cost guides and comparisons written by the EJL team. Every figure comes from jobs we have quoted in York, not national averages, and every post is checked by the people who do the work.
The covering drives the figure: GRP fibreglass from £110 and lead from £220 per square metre. What sets the price.
A full UPVC roofline runs £1,200 to £3,000 fitted, scaffold included. Prices by house type, what moves them, and why the gutters should go on at the same time.
A rubber EPDM replacement on a typical single garage runs £600 to £1,000. Costs by covering, what moves the price, and repair vs replace.
A full reroof runs from about £3,000 for a terrace to £12,000 and up for a detached, with most semis £5,500 to £9,000.
How long a flat roof lasts by material: felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and lead, plus what cuts a roof life short and the signs it is near the end.
How to tell condensation from a leak, and how to fix a damp loft in order, from ventilation to a breathable membrane.
Most replacements land between £4,500 and £9,500. What moves the price, and when you should not replace the roof at all.
