What a sad collection of posts! I am a (female) builder. The following information is accurate for London and represents the real cost of doing a slate roof. Please note that what you are looking at is the costing for a large detached house with an old slate roof measuring approximately 120 square metres with a little turret on the front side and a small extension to the back. I am going to break down the costs so that you can see what is involved in a proper job! None of the following costs include VAT or any profit margin for us - the builders!
Scaffolding and protection erected to stop water coming in once the roof is off £3400
Skips, permits, and removing waste in rubble bags £580
Battens: £280
Slates (Spanish slate is about half the cost of Welsh and is perfectly adequate for look and performance) £2,600
Breathable roofing membrane: £150
Nails, screws, silicon etc (fixings): £200
Labour £3120
Total: £10330
Given we don't do this for charity and have to cover overheads as well as supervision of the workmen etc, you should probably add a further £2500 to this and then VAT at 20%. (£15396)
Note: other forms of roofing may be cheaper, Spanish slate looks great. If I do 'mates rates' then I work for free. Not sure how I make a living at this, but hey, perhaps you will enlighten me!!!

Lead flashing to prevent leakage around chimneys etc £1200
