How Much Does
a New Roof Cost?
Our starting price for a re-roof, what makes a roof cost more or less, and what to check when you compare quotes. From JC Property Maintenance, Sandbach roofers who re-roof across Cheshire.
Re-roofs from around £6,000
Our re-roofs start from around £6,000. What your roof costs depends on its size and shape, the covering you choose and what we find underneath. No two houses price the same, and the free quote settles it.
Every new roof we fit comes with a 20-year guarantee.
What Changes the Price of a New Roof
These are the things that make one re-roof cost more than another.
Size
The bigger the roof, the more tiles, membrane and battens, and the more time it takes.
Shape
The Federation of Master Builders lists hips, valleys, abutments and dormers as things that add complexity, and cost.
Covering
Concrete tile, clay tile or slate. The FMB's guide notes slate generally costs more than concrete tile.
What is underneath
New membrane and battens go on where they are needed. How much needs renewing only becomes clear once we look.
Chimneys
A stack in the middle of the roof means flashing and more cutting around it.
Height and access
A bungalow is easier to work on than a two- or three-storey house.
What a Re-Roof Involves
On one of our re-roofs, the old tiles or slates and battens come off and go away with us. Membrane and battens are renewed where they are needed, then the new concrete tile, clay tile or slate goes on and the roof is finished at the ridge and verges.
The quote sets out what is included for your roof, so you can see where the money goes. You pay by cash, cheque or bank transfer, and the roof carries our 20-year guarantee.
See our new roofs page for more on how a job runs.
Renewing the Roofline Too
A re-roof is a good time to look at the fascias, soffits and gutters along the eaves. They are our main work, and they carry their own 10-year guarantee.
More detail in how much fascias and soffits cost and gutter repair and replacement costs.
Roofline guide prices
A full uPVC roofline (fascias, soffits and guttering) on a typical bungalow or semi is around £1,400.
New guttering on a semi is around £700.

How Quotes Differ, and What to Compare
The FMB's advice is to get an itemised quote and to budget for unexpected costs. When you line quotes up, check they cover the same work:
- The covering: which tile or slate, and is it like for like?
- Are new membrane and battens included, and where?
- What happens at the ridge, the verges and around any chimney?
- Is taking the old roof away included?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it cover?
- Is the firm insured, and how will Building Regulations be dealt with?
How long does a re-roof take?
It depends on the size and shape of the roof.
Ask us about your roof when we come out to quote.
Planning and Building Regulations
The Planning Portal says a re-roof that does not materially change how a house looks will usually not need planning permission, but that in most situations it will need Building Regulations approval.
Our guide to planning permission for a new roof quotes the rules in full.
