About Roofing Quotes UK

Roofing Quotes UK is two things joined together. The first is a copy of the NFRC Competent Person Scheme register, the list of roofing contractors that government has licensed to certify their own work against the Building Regulations, arranged so you can find the ones near you. The second is a set of pages about what roof work costs and what changes the price, written so an owner can read a quote and know which questions it has not answered. The quote form passes an enquiry to contractors covering the address.

Why this site exists

This site exists because the two questions an owner actually has, what will this cost and who should I let on my roof, are answered almost everywhere by a lead form and nothing else. The register is public and nobody had made it easy to read by area, and the cost pages that do exist mostly quote a range with no source and no explanation of what moves it.

Who it is for

Property owners in the UK with a roof that needs repairing, recovering or replacing, and small commercial occupiers with the same problem on a bigger building

Not roofers sourcing materials, not self-builders specifying a system, and not anyone shopping for cladding, decking or a driveway

What it does not do

  • No ranking of contractors. The register pages list who is on the scheme in an area and what roof types each is registered for; they do not score, rate or order them, and no contractor can pay to change what they say.
  • No invented prices. Where this site prints a figure it names the document it came from and the date it was read, and where a figure does not exist it says so instead of estimating one.
  • No claim that a scheme registration is a guarantee of workmanship. It is a licence to self-certify against the Building Regulations, which is a different and narrower thing.

What is on this site

66 guides, each with its sources on the page , 318 answers to the questions around them , and the directory.

  • Roof repairs: A roof repair is a bounded job: a slipped tile, a failed valley, a flashing that has parted from a chimney, a felt that has split at a joint.
  • Roof replacement: Replacing a roof is a bigger job than most owners expect, because the covering is the cheapest part of it.
  • Flat roofing: Flat roofs are not flat and are not one product.
  • Conservatory roofs: Most conservatory roof enquiries start with the same complaint: the room is unusable in July and unusable in January.
  • Garage and shed roofs: Outbuilding roofs get replaced more often than house roofs because they were built cheaper and looked after less.
  • Commercial roofing: A commercial roof is bought on downtime rather than on beauty.
  • Roof surveys: A roof survey is worth paying for at three moments: before buying a house whose roof you cannot see, after a storm when an insurer wants evidence, and before spending on a repair you suspect is the wrong repair.
  • Damp proofing cost: A damp proofing cost is mostly a length and a state of plaster.
  • What damp proofing costs: There is no single national figure for damp proofing in the United Kingdom, and any page that gives you one is quoting an average of jobs that have almost nothing in common.
  • Damp proofing cost calculator: This page is the sum rather than the tool.
  • Tarmac driveway cost: Tarmac is priced by the square metre laid, and the square metre rate is only half the quote.
  • Tarmac driveway cost calculator: A tarmac driveway cost calculator is doing arithmetic you can do yourself, and doing it yourself tells you which line of a quote to question.
  • Block paving cost: Block paving is the most labour intensive of the common driveway surfaces, and that is where its price comes from.
  • Resin bound driveway cost: Resin bound is aggregate mixed with a clear resin and trowelled to a smooth, permeable surface.
  • Concrete driveway cost calculator: A concrete drive is priced on volume and on labour, and the arithmetic is easy to do from a tape.
  • Loft conversion cost UK: There is no single United Kingdom figure for a loft conversion, because the four common types are four different builds.
  • How much a loft conversion costs: How much a loft conversion costs is really four questions, because the answer depends on which of the four common conversions your roof allows.
  • Loft conversion cost calculator: A loft conversion cost calculator multiplies a floor area by a rate per square metre for the conversion type, then adds the fixed items.
  • Dormer loft conversion cost: A dormer conversion builds a flat or pitched box out of the roof slope to create full head height and a usable wall.
  • Hip to gable loft conversion cost: A hip to gable conversion squares off a sloping end of the roof by building the side wall up to a vertical gable, then reroofing the new shape.
  • Loft conversion cost per m2: A rate per square metre is the easiest way to compare loft conversions and the least reliable, because the fixed costs of a conversion do not scale with area.
  • Loft conversion specialists: Loft conversion specialists do one job repeatedly, which shows in the parts of the work an owner never sees: the structural details, the fire escape strategy, the staircase geometry and the sequence that keeps a house habitable while its roof is open.
  • Single storey extension cost: A single storey rear or side extension is the commonest piece of building work a British homeowner buys, and its price is decided underground before it is decided anywhere else.
  • Double storey extension cost: A two storey extension costs less per square metre than a single storey one, because the expensive parts, the foundations and the roof, are shared between two floors.
  • How much an extension costs: How much an extension costs is a question about four groups of money, and totals only become comparable once they are separated.
  • Kitchen extension cost: A kitchen extension is a single storey extension with a kitchen in it, and the two halves are worth pricing separately.
  • Conservatory extension cost: A conservatory is the cheapest way to add a room to a British house and the most conditional.
  • Orangery extension cost: An orangery sits between a conservatory and a masonry extension: substantial brick or stone piers, a flat perimeter roof with a glazed lantern in the middle, and full height glazing between the piers.
  • Side extension cost: A side extension fills the gap between a house and its boundary, and the boundary is what makes it complicated.
  • Wrap around extension cost: A wrap around extension combines a rear extension and a side return into one L shaped build.
  • Extension cost calculator UK: An extension cost calculator multiplies floor area by a rate per square metre and adds a percentage for professional fees.
  • Garage extension cost: There are two jobs sold under this name and they cost very different money.
  • Flooring cost: Flooring cost splits into two very different questions.
  • Resin flooring UK cost: There is no single United Kingdom rate for resin flooring, because the phrase covers systems that differ by an order of magnitude in thickness, durability and price.
  • Epoxy flooring cost UK: Epoxy is the resin most British garage and workshop floors are coated in, because it is hard, chemically resistant and comparatively cheap.
  • Cavity wall insulation cost calculator: A cavity wall insulation cost calculator multiplies external wall area by a rate and adds a fixed charge.
  • Scaffold hire cost: Scaffold hire is the rent on a structure that is standing in your garden or on your pavement.
  • Scaffolding cost calculator: A scaffolding cost calculator multiplies a length of run by a number of lifts to get an area, applies a rate, and adds a weekly hire.
  • Scaffolding cost per day: Scaffolding is rarely priced per day for domestic work, because the expensive parts happen once: a team, a lorry and a day to erect it, and the same to take it down.
  • Double glazing windows cost: Double glazing windows cost is built up from a schedule rather than a rate.
  • Double glazing cost calculator: A double glazing cost calculator is useful for one thing and misleading for another.
  • Double glazing cost calculator UK: A double glazing cost calculator UK has to answer a different question from an American one, because the rules that decide what is fitted are different.
  • Double glazing window replacement cost: Double glazing window replacement cost depends first on a question most quotes never ask out loud: are you replacing the windows or replacing the glass in them.
  • How much does new double glazing cost: How much does new double glazing cost is a question with a real answer, but the answer arrives at the end of a short list of questions rather than at the start.
  • Cost of new double glazing: The cost of new double glazing is easier to judge once you can see what the money is buying, because the sealed unit that gives the product its name is rarely the biggest line.
  • Window replacement cost calculator: A window replacement cost calculator earns its place when it is used to understand a decision rather than to settle a price.
  • Cost to install bifold doors: The cost to install bifold doors is usually split unevenly between the doors and everything that has to happen to the wall before they arrive.
  • Composite door cost: Composite door cost is quoted as a door set rather than a door, and the difference matters.
  • How much does a conservatory cost: How much does a conservatory cost is a question with no shelf answer, because what you are buying is a small building rather than a product.
  • 4m x 3m conservatory cost: A 4m x 3m conservatory cost question is really a question about twelve square metres of floor, and at that size the money is not evenly spread.
  • 5m x 3m conservatory cost: A 5m x 3m conservatory cost is fifteen square metres, and the extra three metres over a smaller room buy more than floor.
  • Conservatory cost calculator: A conservatory cost calculator is only as honest as the questions it asks.
  • Lean to conservatory cost: A lean to conservatory cost is normally the lowest of the standard shapes, and the reason is geometry rather than any saving in quality.
  • Modern conservatory cost: A modern conservatory cost is higher than a standard one for reasons that are mostly measurable: slimmer aluminium frames carrying larger panes, a flat or very low pitched roof rather than a pitched glazed one, better glass, and a structural approach closer to an extension than to a kit.
  • Orangery cost: An orangery cost sits between a conservatory and a single storey extension, and so does the building.
  • How much does an orangery cost: How much does an orangery cost depends less on the size than on which building it turns out to be.
  • Garden room cost: A garden room cost is quoted two ways and the difference matters.
  • Garden room cost per m2: A garden room cost per m2 is the figure everybody asks for and the one that travels worst.
  • Garden room prices: Garden room prices are usually published as a list against sizes, and the list is the start of the conversation rather than the end of it.
  • How much does a garage conversion cost: How much does a garage conversion cost is best answered by taking a quote apart rather than by quoting a range.
  • Garage conversion cost UK: A garage conversion cost UK figure is shaped by three British things a general estimate will not contain: the Approved Documents that decide what the finished room has to achieve, the planning conditions and covenants that many estates carry, and the expectation that the finished elevation matches the street.
  • Garage conversion cost per m2: A garage conversion cost per m2 rate travels badly, and worse than it does for new build, because almost everything you are paying for happens once regardless of the floor area.
  • Average garage conversion cost: An average garage conversion cost is an average across jobs that are not the same job, and the spread is not random.
  • Single garage conversion cost: A single garage conversion cost is usually the cheapest room a British house can gain, and it comes with a constraint that decides what the room can be.
  • Basement conversion cost: A basement conversion cost is decided by four things, and only one of them is the finish.
  • Cellar conversion cost: A cellar conversion cost is usually a much smaller number than a basement conversion, and the reason is that a cellar already exists.
