How much does it Cost to replace a roof? (2025 Guide)

Replacing your roof is one of the biggest home improvement projects you’ll ever take on — and one of the most important.

But when it’s time to fix leaks or replace ageing tiles, every homeowner asks the same thing:

💭 “How much will it actually cost to replace my roof?”

Let’s break it down clearly, with real UK prices and honest insight from professionals who do it every day.

Average Roof Replacement Costs in UK (2025)

Roof Type	Average Cost	Cost Per 𝑚2	Typical Lifespan
Flat Roof (EPDM Rubber)	From €2,500	€70/𝑚2	20-25 Years

💡 Note: Costs vary depending on roof size, materials, access, and design complexity.

What Affects the Price of a Roof Replacement?

1. Roof Size: Larger roofs mean more materials and labour.

2. Material Choice: Tiles, slate, or EPDM rubber each have different lifespans and prices.

3. Roof Shape: Complex designs or steep angles can take longer to complete.

4. Access & Scaffolding: Hard-to-reach roofs increase setup costs.

5. Waste Removal: Old materials need to be safely disposed of.

Flat Roof Replacement Costs Explained

If you’re replacing a flat roof, EPDM rubber is the top material for most homeowners.

It costs around £70 per square metre and lasts up to 25 years with minimal maintenance.

Other options include fibreglass (GRP), which costs slightly more (£80–£100/m²) but offers a sleek, solid finish.

How to Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Roof

Look for these warning signs:

•Cracked or perished felt

•Water pooling or damp ceilings

•Moss or algae buildup

•Tiles slipping or broken

•Visible sagging or structural wear

If you’ve spotted one or more of these, don’t wait — small problems become expensive fast.
