Roof Replacement

leds1975

Hello,

Need a full tiled roof replacement, for a two storey semi-detached house in the carrickfergus area.
The roof is very old and is starting to leak water (well is has slowly for a couple of years).

Was quoted by a local firm approx £2,800.

I am really just enquiring was is the average cost for such a replacement.

Thanks in advance.

By the time you put scaffolding and remove the old sounds like a good price to me. I assume it is interlocking concrete tiles.


As a matter of interest why is the roof leaking? Is there no sarking felt? Is the leak near a lead valley? Are there a lot of broken tiles?

I have seen to a few houses where the 'leaks' were actually condensation on the underside of the felt.

Thank you for your reply.

The house is over forty years old.
Very old tiles and the felt is badly split in numerous places. I can see daylight in quite a few places through the felt when I venture up into the loft.

I got our 3 bed semi in Belfast re-slated four years ago for £2,600 so you're not far off the mark.

I'd shop around though, plenty of roofers with sharp pencils looking work at the moment...

I have not seen too many 40 year old concrete, interlocking, tiled roofs leaking.

Are there any lead valleys in the roof?

Where does the dampness show up?

how much would it cost to replace a full roof on a 3 story terace house .
The roof is 100 + years old and has no felt just slates .
