wilderbeast   10 #13 Posted November 29, 2006 We had our midterraced house roof done 3 yrs ago by Martin Brooks roofers for about 4 grand including velux window. Overall very impressed with quality of work (which is probably why they are not the cheapest, but they were also a grand less than our other quote so not the most expensive either!). That price was reusing any good existing slates and using reclaimed slates for the rest. Real slate lasts many years so this is a good option if you want to save a bit of money whilst retaining character of the house. It's also guaranteed for either 10 or 15 years, can't remember which. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nanditahume   10 #14 Posted August 4, 2007 Hi we are having a loft conversion, and we want to replace our roof at the front of the house. At the moment we have a tiled roof, but it is very old. Our house is a mid-terrace. For the extension we are having slate roof.  We have been told that our present roof will last for another 10 years. To change the roof, which is just half of the house, we have been quoted 2.8 grand. Is this a reasonable quote? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Phylis   10 #16 Posted August 7, 2007 Has your semi got a hipped roof or pitched roof. If it is hipped there are a lot more tiles to repalce. This could be where the extra cost is coming from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Caroline13 Â Â 10 #17 Posted October 14, 2009 Hi all. We're looking at buying a house in Sheffield, but we're pretty sure it will need the slate roof redoing, though much of the slate looks like it could be reusable. Â It's a small 2 bed mid-terrace, but with potential difficulty in that it is on a main road, and the pavement looks (to my inexpert eye!) so narrow that the scaffolding would potentially have to be on the road, and also whilst it is only 2 storey at the front of the house it is 4 storeys at the back... Â Anybody able to give us a rough ballpark of how much we'd be looking at? Place needs mostly replastering too, so trying to put our costs together!!

per1 Â Â 10 #24 Posted June 13, 2010 Hi Phil Sheff, Â If the pitch of your roof is to low, water will track under the tiles, run on the underfelt and come out onto your fascia boards/soffitt board. Â You could either fit new tiles that would cope with the pitch, or to board with plywood, counterbatten and refix the tiles.
