Don't know if this helps but I have just had my 3-bed Edwardian semi completely re-roofed. Original slates had been patched over the years but it's a losing battle as the nails that hold them all rust through eventually. Complete job: full scaffold, remove all slates and battens, lay membrane, new battens, new Spanish slate, various hips and ridges, install dry ridge vent system, repoint a chimney, new gutterering all round. £9,200. Very, very pleased with the job.0
