How much does a new roof cost in the UK?

Tracey Lewis • March 3, 2026

Thinking about replacing your roof or repairing it instead? Let us help you decide.

Choosing whether to invest in a new roof or choose a repair is a big decision and the cost depends on many factors like property size, materials needed, time of the year and where in the country you live.

Understanding these costs and factors upfront helps homeowners budget and make informed decisions.

Re-roofing a house in the UK typically costs between £8,000 and £15,000, with larger properties costing nearer £25,000 and beyond.

Several other key factors influence the total cost of re-roofing projects such as the need for scaffolding, or choice of material. Price comparisons between basic concrete tiles and premium materials like natural slate or hand-made clay tiles make a considerable difference to the overall cost.

Repairs can be a quick, simple and affordable option, but are not usually protected under guarantees.

If your roof is leaking and the problems affect more than 30% of the overall covering, a new roof is usually the best option.
