Up-to-date roofing prices for 2026 — low, average and high UK rates for 8 common jobs, plus what affects the price and how to hire well.
Your roof is your home's first line of defence, and small problems become expensive quickly: a slipped tile lets water in, wet timber rots and ceilings stain. A dependable local roofer diagnoses honestly, repairs properly and tells you when a repair will do rather than pushing a full replacement. HireTrades helps you find established roofers with verified reviews, so you avoid the rogue traders this industry is unfortunately known for.

Replacing a few slipped tiles typically costs £100–£250. Repointing a chimney runs £300–£800, replacing a section of flat roof £600–£1,500, and full gutter replacement on a semi £600–£1,000. A complete tiled roof replacement on a three-bedroom semi is usually £5,500–£9,000 including scaffolding, while flat roof replacement in modern EPDM or GRP costs £80–£120 per square metre. Scaffolding alone accounts for £600–£1,200 of larger jobs.
Never hire a roofer who knocks on your door claiming to have "spotted a problem". Instead, get two or three quotes through a platform where reviews are verified. Ask what the quote includes: scaffolding, waste removal, replacement timber if rot is found, and lead flashing work. For a new roof, confirm the guarantee (10–20 years is standard for materials, and insurance-backed guarantees are best) and check the roofer will handle building regulations notification where required.
Roofers on HireTrades build public track records: verified customer reviews, completion history and verification badges. Post your job free — photos of the problem area help enormously — and compare quotes from local roofers who are accountable for the reputation they have built on the platform.
