What this does not include
Structural work. If the timbers are gone, the felt has failed across the whole deck or the chimney needs rebuilding, that is a different job with a different number, and no photograph and no page can tell you whether you are in it.
Everything here assumes a sound roof structure being re-covered. Treat it as the floor of what a re-roof costs, not the ceiling.
Flat roofs. GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt are priced differently from a pitched covering, and the rates above do not apply to them. If your job is a flat roof over an extension, a dormer or a garage, treat this page as background and get a roofer to price the actual deck — we do not estimate flat roofs and will not pretend the figures here cover one.
What is included in these prices
The new covering and its fitting per square metre, a waste allowance on materials, scaffolding, and VAT.
Not included: structural timbers, rebuilding chimneys, and flat roofs — see below.
Planning estimate or quotation?
Every figure on this page is a planning estimate: what a job like this typically costs, for budgeting and for judging the quotes you get. It is not a quotation. A quotation comes from an installer after a survey, when the exact sizes, specification and condition of your house are known.
Facet Pro narrows the estimate to your own house from a photograph of the front — the windows it can see, the wall it can measure against your front door — and says which parts are measured and which are estimated for your house type. Your installer confirms the figure on survey.
Common questions
What does a new roof cost?
From about £162 per m². On a 65 m² roof — a typical semi — that is £10,530 of roofing, plus about £702 for waste and £1,493 for scaffolding, so roughly £12,725.
Facet Pro is in early access. We are starting to check how we measure wall area from a photograph against surveyed properties, so treat wall and roof figures as indicative and window figures as a guide.
Your house isn’t average.
See this project on your own home and get a planning estimate. Any figure on this page is for a typical house. Start with one photograph of the front and we will find your windows, doors, roof and walls, estimate your wall area, and price your own elevation.

These are planning estimates — not a quotation, and not a survey. Windows and doors: what these jobs typically sell for, from 25 years in the home improvement industry, checked against current UK prices. Render, roof and roofline: UK material and labour rates, with scaffolding, waste and VAT. What you pay depends on your own house and, more than anything else, on which company quotes it. Your installer confirms the figure on survey. Prices checked October 2026.
