Whether your existing roof is leaking, ageing, or simply beyond repair, investing in a new roof is one of the most important decisions a homeowner can make. If you're located in Norfolk or Suffolk, you're probably asking: How much does a new roof cost in the UK? The short answer is—it depends.
At Advanced Roofing Specialists, we aim to demystify roofing costs with transparent, accurate information, ensuring homeowners understand what they’re paying for and why.
What Is the Average Cost of a New Roof in the UK?
The average cost for a new roof in the UK ranges between £5,000 and £8,500 for a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house. That said, prices can vary widely based on location, materials, roof size, and complexity. In Norfolk and Suffolk, local rates are often more competitive than in major cities, but several factors still impact the final figure.
Important Note: All prices mentioned are indicative and may vary depending on site inspection, choice of materials, and access requirements.
Breakdown of Roofing Costs
Here’s a general breakdown of what you might expect to pay:
Roofing Type | Indicative Cost Range |
Flat Roof Replacement | £1,500 – £4,500 |
Slate Tiled Roof | £5,000 – £10,000 |
Concrete Tiled Roof | £4,000 – £8,500 |
Pitched Roof Extension | £,000 – £9,000 |
Full Roof Replacement | £6,500 – £12,000 |
Fascia & Guttering | £800 – £2,500 |
Costs typically include labour, materials, scaffolding, waste removal, and any underlay or insulation required.
Factors That Influence Roofing Prices
Roof Size and PitchLarger or steeper roofs require more labour and materials. A high-pitched roof may also need specialist equipment for access and safety.
Material SelectionFrom affordable concrete tiles to premium slate or lead options, material choice plays a major role. At Advanced Roofing Specialists, we provide expert recommendations to match your budget and home aesthetic.
Type of PropertyCosts vary for bungalows, terraces, semis, detached homes, and commercial properties. Extensions or converted loft spaces may require bespoke installations.
Structural RepairsIf the timber framework underneath is damaged, you may need repairs before the new roof can be installed—this can add significant cost.
Additional FeaturesInstalling skylights, flat roof windows, or new fascia and guttering will influence the price.
Location & AccessibilityProperties in hard-to-reach or rural areas might incur extra costs due to delivery logistics or specialised access.
