Roof replacement costs

[bobby's bear]

Hi - we are being quoted for a new roof and want to sense check any quotes.

Has anyone had a Victorian terrace roof replaced recently and could share the rough costs, please?

paid £7k for mine as part of a loft conversion. Prob a bit cheaper as it made the rest of the job easier for them rather than reusing the old tiles etc

Hi,  is the roof a straight forward ‘up and over’ ? has it got ‘hips’? You could Google earth the property and post it on here for a proper quote.

It's a standard Victorian terrace up and over with a rear loft extension and rear roof.

Here's a Google Earth image

Can you highlight the actual roof?

[bobby's bear]

It's the front roof and rear (but not the ground floor extension or loft box)

Be careful- there are dodgy roofers about this area, we got scammed regarding our rear roof. Was quoted £16,000 . We got in another firm and a quote for £8,250.

Trading Standards Southwark are investigating first firm as we lost £1,000, but Bank stopped further payments.  If you PM me I will give you name of dodgy company.

Yes, they frequent All Type roofing supplies on Lordship Lane. You can spot them by their steroid muscles, slicked back hair do’s , brand new work clothes and signed up vsn.😜

I have found Russell Perrin to be an honest, reliable and reasonably priced roofer.

I suggest you ask him for a quote at least. He might have to see it, but he might give you a rough  idea over the phone.

Other people have recommended him on here, if you do a search.

I thought Russell was great too, but haven't been able to get hold of him for well over a year.  I accepted his quote for a whole new roof and never heard anymore?  Strange.

That's odd. I hope he's OK.

In regard to roofers in general, I've just seen this in the Guardian:
