Roofing is a critically important part of any property, but they don’t last forever. Being exposed to the elements, they wear down, break, or completely fail eventually. Repairs and maintenance help a lot to extend the lifetime of your roof, but sometimes it can be better, cheaper, or even necessary to replace your roof instead. If you are considering this, you likely have an important question in mind: How much does a new roof actually cost?

How new roofs are priced:

Here we can give you the general advice and guidelines for the cost and pricing of a new roof. It should be noted that for an exact price, you will need to call us on 0131 555 5121 to arrange for a surveyor to visit your property first, so we can give you an exact quote for the work that needs done.

Cost of Different Roof types:

• Flat Roof: If you are considering modern flat roofing, you are in luck, as we are Edinburgh’s flat roof experts. The cost of flat roofs can vary between around £2,800 at the low end, to ~£7,000 for large projects. The materials used can also cause some fluctuations in price, so it is best to ask about it first before you make a decision.
• Heritage/Traditional Roofing: This is a fairly common roof type for Scotland and in the UK. A small project for a new heritage roof will cost between £5,000 to £12,000. However a large job could cost around £15,000 to £25,000+.

When to consider a new roof:

The cost of a new roof is enough to make you have to think before you decide. However, it may be cheaper in the longer term compared to constant repairs when issues arise. If your roof was installed fairly long ago, or it has experienced damage, it’s definitely worth considering a new roof. Also, if your roof has water leaks or lets out heat more than you expect, it could also be near the end of its lifetime.

There are many times when a new roof will be your best option. Don’t pay for multiple repairs when a single re-roof could fix all your problems and future issues in one go.
