What Affects a Roofer Rate?
- Scaffolding — Often a separate cost (£600–£1,500 for a standard house). Always clarify whether it is included in the quote.
- Roof pitch and access — Steeper pitches and difficult access mean slower, riskier work and higher day rates.
- Materials — Slate tiles cost significantly more than concrete. Heritage materials command a premium.
- NFRC membership — National Federation of Roofing Contractors members are vetted and can charge more.
- Location — London and South East rates are typically 30–40% above the national average.

Calculate My Roofer Rate ›Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a roofer charge per day in the UK?UK roofers typically charge £150–£280/day nationally. London and South East roofers charge £220–£380/day. Rates depend on experience, NFRC membership, and complexity of the work.
- Is scaffolding included in roofer quotes?Not always. Always ask explicitly whether scaffolding is included. Scaffolding for a standard 3-bed house costs £600–£1,500 and is often quoted separately.
- How long does a full roof replacement take?A full re-roof on a 3-bedroom semi-detached house typically takes 3–5 days for a team of 2 roofers. Larger or more complex properties take longer.
- Do roofers charge VAT?Only if VAT registered (turnover over £90,000/year). Many smaller roofers are not VAT registered. Always check — VAT adds 20% to the bill.
