How can you tell a dodgy roofer?

Five red flags: door-to-door cold caller, demand for cash deposit upfront, no fixed-price written quote, refuses to name the membrane manufacturer or quote a U-value, no public liability insurance certificate.

How much should a roofer charge per hour?

UK roofers in 2026 typically charge £200–£300 per day for domestic work plus materials. Most jobs (replacement, retrofit) are quoted as fixed price for the whole job, not by the hour.

What is the cheapest time of year to get a new roof?

Late autumn through early spring (October to March) — quotes are typically £300-£800 cheaper than peak-season (May-August). Avoid mid-winter for any flat-roof work as adhesives need 5°C+ deck temperature.

How much does it cost to reroof a 3-bed house in the UK?

Typical UK 2026 market: 3-bed semi (concrete tile) £4,500-£8,500 fitted; 3-bed semi (slate) £6,500-£11,000; 4-bed detached £7,500-£14,000+. Includes scaffolding and materials. Get a free estimate from Eco Roofers for your property.

What we typically see on Nottinghamshire roofs

Nottinghamshire roof-stock splits roughly into Victorian + Edwardian terrace in central Nottingham (NG1, NG3, NG7), inter-war and post-war semis through Mapperley/Sherwood and the West Bridgford suburbs, ex-coalfield estates around Mansfield (NG18-NG20) and Worksop (S80-S81), plus pantile-and-stone period property in Newark and the Trent-valley villages.

Local weather notes. The county catches Trent-valley weather — fewer high-wind events than the Pennines but more sustained-saturation rainfall in extended wet spells. South-westerly storms strip tile fixings on the same nailing line.

Approved Document L 2022 sets the thermal performance baseline for new roofs (U ≤ 0.16 W/m²K pitched, ≤ 0.18 flat). On flat roofs, BS 6229:2018 sets the design and falls standard. Eco Roofers will guide you through any Building Control notification needed on your job.

Cost per year, by material

Cost per m² fitted, divided by typical UK lifespan. Slate looks expensive upfront; it’s the cheapest per-year. Felt is the most expensive over the long run despite the low sticker price.

Anti-cowboy checklist · UK 2026

Six things a competent roofer never does

Demands a deposit before any work — reputable UK roofers don’t take deposits on standard domestic work. The roofer holds the supplier risk.
Cold-knocks the door — “we’re working on a roof down the road and noticed yours” is the oldest scam. Walk away.
Won’t put the quote in writing — verbal quotes are not enforceable. Written, itemised, fixed-price is the UK 2026 standard.
Won’t name the materials — a refusal to specify the membrane brand, the tile manufacturer, or the lead grade is a flag.
Won’t show Public Liability proof on request — every legitimate UK roofer carries Public Liability cover and will email a certificate.
Promises the job tomorrow at half the quoted price — pressure-selling against a competing quote is a sign the work won’t be there in 12 months.

The price of skipping these checks: the typical UK roof-scam victim loses £1,500-£5,000 in deposits on work never started, plus £2,000-£8,000 of remedial work needed when a botched job has to be re-done.
