How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost?
The average cost of a new roof on a three-bedroom semi is around £5000. If your house is a lot bigger, or the existing leadwork has to be ditched and replaced with new, the prices can soon rise. Scaffolding might also increase cost, along with skips, or a choice of expensive, antique roof tiles. When you’re spending such a lot of money it’s essential to put a little effort into finding the best company for the job. Always get at least three quotes for the work, and check that each contractor is quoting for the same jobs. Weigh up not only the cost, but also the reputation of the roofer. Don’t be embarrassed about asking for references from people whose roofs they have replaced recently.
Financing a New Roof
Roofers aren’t likely to offer a buy now pay later arrangement, but that doesn’t mean that you have to put up with a leaking roof until you’ve saved up cash. You may be able to get a loan from the bank to finance the work. Alternatively, speak to the mortgage provider about extending finance that way.
