Re-roofing cost

[GU24Mum]

We've just had a quote to re-roof the house. I have zero idea what I'm expecting it to be so thought I'd see if anyone had any sort of finger in the air idea. It's a reasonable size 4 bed house with no outbuildings/attached garages. The front will be decent-ish slate and the back will be tiled and has to go round some chunky dormer windows. Plus scaffolding etc.
Any really rough ideas so I can gauge whether it's remotely in the right ball-park. I really like the guys and they've done other houses locally. I'm getting someone else round tomorrow to quote too.
OH's idea on costs varies between the sublime and the ridiculous so he's not much help!

The previous owners of our house paid £30K for a sizeable 5 bed semi. All tiled.

We're in South East and for a large 4 bed detached peg tile roof we've paid just over 15 k. We had quotes between 12k and 25k.

Very helpful, thanks. We have a funny pitch apparently (though much of the house has odd bits so that doesn't surprise me......) and need slightly different tiles plus quite a bit of work round the dormers but I definitely prefer your quotes @Mrswalliams1. @GiraffeNecked, ours is a bit more than yours but both very helpful as a rough gauge.

4 bed detached, fully re-roofed last year with tiles. £14k, we are in the Midlands.

I was given a rough estimate of £10k for a 3 bed semi with just big standard tiles and nothing on the roof but the chimney but he said it would be more if the joists needed doing.

Bloody autocucumber! I corrected that big to bog and it put it back again.

Literally finished today. 4 bed house in pantiles 14k.

Are you getting several estimates, OP?

That’s the best way to sort the wheat from the chaff.

I've got another one coming to quote tomorrow so I'll see what they say. This one comes recommended as has just reroofed our old house coincidentally and it looks good. Not cheap though....

Wow. Informative thread. One way I have gone about this is just call up a couple of other roofing contractors requesting for quotes for comparison. It must not be same city or state or country. Especially for consultation in making roofing selections. I spoke to these people one time: www.blackburnroofer.co.uk

There are many of them.

Very large six bed roof with gables and a central break circa £20k plus vat her in east mids. That’s with thin leading edge tiles though which are much cheaper than slate

We had our roof done January, new batons and felt but the roofer used our old tiles as there was nothing wrong with them and replaced a few, in the midlands and for a three bed house end terrace they charged us £3000.

Ours was £30K for a large 5 bed semi in slate. No dormers but a couple of bay windows so complexity increased the cost.

We had a big-ish 1920s four bed semi in South Wales re-roofed in fibre cement "slate" tiles for £7,000, which was quite a lot less than other quotes we had.
