What Affects the Cost of a New Roof?
1. Roof Size & Shape
Larger roofs require more materials and labour. Complex shapes (hip, gable, valleys, dormers) increase labour time and cost.
2. Roof Material
Slate and metal are premium options, while tiles and felt are generally more affordable. Material choice impacts both cost and lifespan.
3. Access & Scaffolding
Properties with difficult access or requiring extensive scaffolding will see higher costs due to extra labour and safety requirements.
4. Labour Costs in 2025
Labour rates in Hampshire and Surrey range from £120–£260 per day per roofer, depending on experience and specialism. Labour shortages and rising demand in 2025 have pushed these rates higher.
Tip: Always use a reputable, insured, and accredited contractor for best value and safety.
5. Waste Removal & Extras
All quotes should include skip hire and waste removal. Upgrades like insulation, roof windows, or ventilation will add to the total cost.
6. Location & Local Trends
Roofing costs in Hampshire and Surrey may be higher than the UK average due to local demand, material transport, and higher living costs.
