Full retile of roof

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

Could anyone tell me how much I should expect to pay to have a 4 bedroom detached house with a gable roof fully retiled with clay tiles? There's a square bay at the front so that is a bit more complicated but more simple at the back of the property...

Hi Hannah, I think this is something you need to get quotes for from a roofer.

I would guess £12,000 as the average cost is £6 k and yours is twice the size of an average roof. But I suspect your tiles aren’t cheap (although perhaps they can be reused it just the nails that have reached the end of their life.
Have you had a quote you are trying to sense check?
Don’t forget that if the roof structure or insulation need upgrading that will also add to the cost.

Hello kswardrobe, Well some thoughts are... can you put in some internal glass doors? This would allow light to flow from rooms... Presume the bedroom has a window but is north facing? Is the front door also part of this hallway? Can you install a door with glass too? So the hall can benefit from light in this way too? Other things would be to leave doors open so that light from rooms can flood out into the hall.. Further ideas are well placed mirrors that bounce light.. What is on the walls? Does this hinder the feeling of light and airy.. light flooring would also help here too.. :))

Gosh, I've returned after a week travelling for work to loads more suggestions - thanks all! To respond specifically: - the house faces south so gets the lovely morning (and in the uk, sometimes the only) sun. - the husband has avoided putting plants in the planters due to maintenance and they're generally twee so comments here have confirmed to me that they will be coming out - love the idea of wooden boxes with the spiky plants and grasses - also like the concept of taking out the grass/bed/tree in front completely out and replacing with slabs - yes to lightening the windows - to the Barn company, I honestly don't mind the advice and I'd never seen sloping garage roofs. - nicking ideas from landscaping of new builds....great idea! - finally, Helen Scholes, I'm embarrassed about the spelling of kerb. Had no idea! Thanks again all.

hi all, i'm finalising floor plans for single storey new build. We like the layout generally but there are a few niggling things that we need advice on. 1. The sliding door /patio doors are in the family room- there is no door out from kitchen. Would people recommend having this in Kitchen OR Leaving it as is in the family room. 2. The hotpress /linen store size? is it too small? and also it's position accessing through utility. would people recommend this or not? 3. The exterior look has a mono pitch roof on the kitchen diner family room- would people recommend full height in kitchen diner and then reduce for family room? or vice versa. 4. The width of the kitchen family diner is 4.8m- is this enough to allow for island or should we consider going to 5m deep? 5. In general the house is North facing, do people feel that we are maximising light through use of windows and position of living areas? ( that's v general question-but i feel more could be done) I'd appreciate all opinions advice as I really don't want to make any obvious mistakes that I'll regret. thanks very much.

Thanks, it's a property we’re looking to buy so just wanted to sense check what we’re building into the budget for doing it but sounds like we’ve been reasonably sensible.

I asked a few roofers for a quote but they all want to inspect properly which I can‘t offer quite yet.

Thanks for the guidance!
