we were quoted £2.5k a couple of years ago but also nearly £7k this time for the same work.

get at least 3 quotes.
although anything under 5k for a new roof is about right.
does the price inc scaffolding? and removal from site of old stuff?

whats happening to the old welsh slates? they are worth good money!

thanks... thats the second quote, the first being 7k!

that includes all scaffold and removal of all waste... not sure about the slate although i imagine they will take it as 'waste' if it has any value.
