How much very roughly to re-roof a 3 bed semi?

Anyone had this done recently, and roughly how much did it cost? (Would be with fibre cement roof slates.) Just had a quote that seems very expensive!

We paid just under £6k (inc. VAT) but had a new gutter and downpipe added plus a small velux window put in. This was last year for a 3 bed semi in West Yorkshire.

That's really helpful, thanks. My gutters etc are all good, though I do have a chimney that needs rebuilding

Just a quick bump for any other experiences

I think ours was about 5k inc vat. Also West Yorkshire.

Where are you ... cos' if you're in London 6k will barely re-build your chimney!

I'm in rural Wales - and have been quoted nearly 15k plus VAT!!! Shame, I started off with just one quote as I've had good reports of the builder from others.

North West - have just paid 6k for new roof, fascias, soffits and gutters.

MazDazzle · 27/08/2019 21:24

We paid £5K just to rebuild a chimney. They used the existing pots and stone. Took it to bits and rebuilt it.

We've just had a quote for 5.1k in the midlands

Even adding together 6k for roof + 5k for chimney work (which seems OTT given all happening together) that's still a lot less than 15 + VAT....

Ours was 5.5k

20viona · 27/08/2019 21:31

In the midlands

SymphonyofShadows · 27/08/2019 21:36

We been quoted just under £5k for a terrace, large roof area though. South East. Other quotes were similar. The company we’ve chosen has done lots in the area.

FazakerlyJackie · 27/08/2019 22:02

North West. 5k including scaffold, new barge boards, pointing wonky chimney and gutters/downpipes, we used Quinn tiles. 15k is robbery.

Get other quotes, and speak to people who they did work for previously.

FazakerlyJackie · 27/08/2019 22:03

p.s don't tell other roofers you were quoted 15k

For sure not!

We had a roof replaced, one chimney removed and another chimney rebuilt. Cost £10k all in including VAT.

blackteaplease · 28/08/2019 19:25

The chimney costs more as they have to take it down brick by brick and then rebuild it. It's a time consuming job as well as needing lots of materials.

I agree, the chimney is definitely going to be expensive. But I still think £15k plus VAT sounds a lot! £10k all in would seem much more plausible....

OP posts:
blackteaplease · 28/08/2019 19:39

Oh I agree, £15k is very steep. Definitely get some more quotes in for comparison.

Figureof80 · 28/08/2019 19:42

Had a 3 bed semi (a bungalow so roof area larger than a 2 storey) done in 2017 with partial chimney rebuild, rural west coast Scotland, cost £5300 inc VAT.

AuditAngel · 28/08/2019 19:49

We’ve been quoted £27k for a new roof on a 5 bed detached in SW London 😩
