As we have discussed in our past articles, your roof is your biggest line of defence against the elements. This is why it’s highly important that you keep an eye on your roofline system and that you are keeping on top of the maintenance of your roof.

Certain factors can affect the cost of a roof repair and we have discussed some of these below:
1. What Materials is Your Roof Made Out Of?
Some roofing materials are more expensive than others. This is because of the fact that these materials may need to be replaced during a repair which will mean that you will need to repair these when looking to carry out a roofline repair. Clay tiles and thatch are on the upper level in terms of repairs, mid-level is slate and the lower costs being felt or concrete. Depending on the material of your roof – this will affect the cost of repairs. The size of your roof will also affect the costs of repairs as naturally more of a roof may need to be repaired or replaced.
2. Your Choice of Company
As discussed – the time that is taken to repair your roof by your roofing company will also be a cost to consider. If you choose expert and professional roofers such as our team – this will save you time in labour costs and is one of the many reasons as to why you need to choose a reputable company such as our team. The different types of roof are also a point to consider in terms of the cost of roofline repairs. Tiled roof replacements and tiled roof repairs will again depend on the extent of the damage to the tiles. However – if you are looking at a flat roof repair – these can cost several thousand pounds. This is why we often recommend replacement roofing if a roof system has been damaged in the past.
3. Scaffolding Costs
Scaffolding will incur additional time to set up around the home or property so this will typically incur more costs. This is because of the fact that this can increase labour time but this is vital as it allows safe access to the property. If the roofline system is difficult to access – generally expect scaffolding to be required.
4. When are You Carrying Out the Repairs?
In seasons where it’s typically worse in terms of weather such as heavy rain or high winds – this can delay projects which makes them drag on and may incur some costs in some cases. Repairs can be cheaper in the Autumn or Winter months but this is where dangerous weather can occur so these benefits in terms of cost can cancel each other out. Roofing projects are particularly popular in the summer so if you are thinking about a roofing project soon – we highly recommend you get in touch!
