How much does a new roof cost in Nottingham? (2026)

Typical new roof costs

For a full re-roof, budget roughly £5,000–£9,000 for a typical terraced or small semi in Nottingham, £8,000–£14,000 for a larger semi or detached, and more again for big or complex roofs with multiple pitches.

That usually includes stripping the old covering, new felt (breathable membrane) and battens, re-laying or replacing tiles or slates, new ridge tiles and flashing, scaffolding and disposal of the old materials.

Material choice matters: concrete tiles are the most economical, clay tiles cost more, and natural slate is the priciest — but slate also lasts the longest. A flat roof in EPDM rubber is a separate, smaller job, usually around £1,200–£3,000.

What affects the price

Roof size, pitch and complexity — valleys, multiple slopes, dormers and chimneys all add labour and detailing.

The covering you choose (concrete vs clay vs slate), how much timber underneath needs replacing once the old roof is off, and the cost of scaffolding for safe access.

Extras like new fascias, soffits and guttering, insulation upgrades, or leadwork around chimneys and abutments — often worth doing while the scaffold is up.

How to avoid overpaying

Roofing attracts door-knocking cold-callers who pressure-sell unnecessary work — always get the job quoted by a couple of reviewed local roofers instead, and never pay large sums up front. Ask for photos of the problem and a written, itemised quote.

Make sure each quote covers the same scope (membrane, battens, ridge, flashing, scaffolding, disposal) and a workmanship guarantee. On Rank My Builder you can reach verified Nottingham roofers and check real reviews before booking.
