How much for a new roof?

If you’ve been wondering how much a new roof costs, you’re not alone. Most UK homeowners only replace their roof once or twice in a lifetime — so it’s easy to be unsure of the real numbers.

The truth? A new roof in the UK can cost anywhere from £2,500 to £25,000, depending on the type, size, and materials used.

Average Roof Replacement Costs (UK 2025 Guide)

Lifespan	Roof Type	Average Cost	Cost Per 𝑚2

40 Years	Pitched Roof (Concrete Tile)	€7,500-€15,000	€120-€175/𝑚2

What Affects the price of a New Roof?

• Roof Size: The bigger the surface area, the higher the cost.

• Material Choice: Concrete tiles are more affordable; slate lasts longer but costs more.

• Roof Shape: Complex designs take more time and labour.

• Accessibility: Difficult or steep roofs can increase labour costs.

How to Tell If You Need a New Roof?

Look for these signs:

• Visible leaks or water marks on ceilings

• Perished or cracked felt

• Heavy moss or algae buildup

• Broken or missing tiles

If you’re seeing any of those, your roof may be near the end of its life.

How Long Should a Roof Last?

• Concrete tiles: around 40 years

• Slate roofs: 60–80 years

• Flat roofs (EPDM): 20–25 years
