The Cost of Roof Replacement: Factors That Affect Pricing and How to Budget

Roof replacement can be costly…

…especially if managing a budget isn’t your forte t. Luckily, a bit of research can help you weigh up all the individual elements and get the roof you need without breaking the bank. 

You can learn more below, or get in touch with our specialist team directly for any questions about our roof replacement services.

1. Roof Size & Type

Generally, a roof replacement service will charge per square metre, so larger and more complex roofs, such as pitched roofs with multiple angles, will be pricier to replace than flat ones. Assess the size of your property before deciding on any materials or additional features, as a healthy compromise of each factor works wonders on cost reduction.

2. Materials

Whether it be slate, clay, or concrete, roofing materials all come with different prices that can eat into your budget if not properly considered. The appearance of the building will be most affected by this factor, so it is not a decision to be taken lightly. The correct combination of material and colour not only freshens up the visuals but ensures function and durability too, raising the value of the property. We at Markus & The Brothers are specialists in metal and long-iron roofs but offer a range of materials in a vast selection of colours to best suit your needs.

3. Additional Repairs (if required)

Most roofs last well over a decade, though in the case of heavy storm damage or a poor underlying structure, there are further costs you may want to take into account to ensure the longevity of the new roof. If you’re interested in maintenance further down the line, we offer a range of restoration & repair services to make sure everything stays top-notch.

4. New Gutters

Aside from the roof,- ensuring your gutters are up to scratch is essential to your property’s drainage system. Cracked or clogged gutters can be restored or replaced completely, though it is another point to factor in when working out the costs of a roof replacement.
