What affects the cost of your roof

The material

Natural slate, copper and zinc cost more than concrete tile or fibre-cement, and they tend to last longer too

Size and pitch

A bigger or steeper roof needs more material and more labor, and steeper pitches take longer to work safely.

Access and scaffolding

High roofs, tight sites, and limited parking all add to the setup before a single tile goes on.

Choosing

How to choose the right material

With so many options, picking a roofing material can feel like a big decision, but it usually comes down to a few questions. The right choice balances the style and age of your house, how long you plan to stay, the look you want, and what you are happy to spend over the life of the roof. If you are unsure, a free survey is the quickest way to narrow it down.

Questions worth asking yourself

  • How long do you plan to stay in the house?
  • Does the material suit the style and era of your home?
  • What is the cost over the whole life of the roof, not just the upfront price?
  • How much upkeep are you happy to take on over the years?

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers from an experienced, hands-on roofing professional.

There is no single best material. Natural slate suits period and traditional homes; metal and standing seam suit modern builds and extensions; and tile or fiber-cement works well on a lot of standard houses. The right choice depends on your home, your budget, and the look you want.

Natural slate, copper, and zinc are among the longest-lasting options, which is part of why they cost more up front. Tile and fiber cement also last for many years. The right balance of cost and lifespan depends on your home and how long you plan to stay.

Yes. Our own in-house crew works across all the materials listed here, so the team that quotes your roof is the team that fits it. The one exception is roof trusses: we supply and fit them, but we do not manufacture them.

That is exactly what the free survey is for. We look over your roof, talk through how you use the building and what you want to spend, and tell you honestly which material suits your home, with a fixed price in writing.
