Roof Size & Access

The final cost to tear off and replace your roof depends on the size of your property. If you happen to have a large sized house, you’ll find the total cost will be greater, but rest assured we offer very competitive pricing.

Access is also an important consideration. It’s far easier to work on a single storey house in comparison to a double storey property. The latter can end up costing more because of the additional requirements needed to gain access.

Roofing Materials

The most common roofing material used is asphalt shingles because it helps to keep the overall costs down. Metal is now increasingly popular and something we also are able to replace. You need to bear in mind that shingles are manufactured by a range of different companies, each with their own price per square foot.

Apart from the shingles or tiles, there are other materials to consider such as the underlay and flashing which helps to waterproof the structure and prevent any future leaking occurring.
