Roof material costs
The material of your existing roof or your new roof plays a crucial role in determining the costs of your roofing project.
For that reason, we’ve listed some commonly used building materials in the table below, with the current price ranges that we’re seeing.
| Roof type | Price per 50 square meter [m2] | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Flat roofs | ||
| - Bitumen roofing | £2,000 - £3,250 | 25 years |
| - EPDM rubber roofs | £1,250 - £3,750 | 50 years |
| - Green roofs | £2,000 - £3,750 | 60 years |

You should notice that we’ve also included an average lifespan of these materials. It’s very important that you include these lifespans in your estimate. You have to take the opportunity costs of your roof in account.
For example, the lifetime of your current roof might not be any longer than 5 years. If you still need to fix some parts of the roof and don’t want to commit to a full renovation yet, it might make more sense to opt for cheaper materials. This is especially true if you’re planning a major life change, like moving abroad. In cases like these, considering international removals can be important when coordinating logistics, especially as you plan for a future roof upgrade once settled.
Roof isolation costs
Isolating your roof is almost always a solid economical decision. A roof with lacking isolation is not just resulting in extra costs, it’s also quite bad for the environment. With an unisolated roof, your overspending on your heating bill every single year. These costs can quickly cover the costs of simply isolating your roof. Especially when you are already planning on having work done on your roof.
The approximate costs of your roof isolation depends on various factors. Below table shows common price ranges for roof isolation costs for inclined roofs and flat roofs.
| Roof type | Roof isolation costs |
|---|---|
| Inclined roofs | £25 - £70 |
