How much does a new roof cost in Scotland?

What shapes the price

The size and shape of the roof is the biggest factor — a simple two-sided roof on a terraced house is a very different job from a large roof with valleys, dormers and chimneys.

The covering you choose matters too. Natural slate, concrete tiles and flat-roof systems all sit at different price points, and matching an existing material can affect the figure.

Access plays a part. If scaffolding or other access equipment is needed, that is included in the quotation so there are no surprises.

Finally, the condition of the timbers underneath can only be confirmed once the old covering is off. A good quotation explains how any unexpected timber work would be handled.

Repair or replace?

A new roof is not always the answer. If a repair is the sensible option, we will say so — repeated repairs in different places, sagging lines or widespread wear are the signs that replacement is worth discussing.

The inspection is where this gets decided. We look at the whole roof and talk you through both options honestly.
