Hi. I live in a 1939 house that we bought last year that is detached and we have a leak in our spare room. I went up into the loft the other night to see if where it was coming in but no luck. I did noticed a damp patch on our loft insulation elsewhere in the loft. I looked at the felt and it's really brittle and probably the original. I spoke to my brother who is a builder and he sent a roofer round to have a look and give me a quote for refelting the roof. He said he would do it cheaper as he knows my bro and quoted me £4000. That includes new felt, batons, scaffolding, reusing existing tiles and removing an old boiler chimney stack which doesn't get use anymore and tiling over it. Does this sound like a good price?
Average cost to refelt and tile roof?

I'll just give my crystal ball a rub and see if it will come up with your roof size and the the type of tiles you are using.
Darn it's broke.

Ha ha. Sorry don't know dimensions. He's using the original existing tiles and putting on new ridges.

To do all that work, you will want new tiles, yours are over 80 years old.

Would love new ones but just can't afford it unfortunately. Wish I could.
Hi. Had a think about getting the tiles changed and decided to get it done whilst all the scaffolding up. He wanted an extra £1000 for new tiles and thats on a 4 sided roof. Thats £5000 in total. Does that sound a good price? At a guess the house has got to be 7m x 6m?
Found our floor plan for plan for upstairs and that is approx 35.6sq m.
Plain clay tile re-roofs usually come in at around £60p/m plus scaffold plus skip.
Your floor area will not reflect roof tile surface. Roofing surface will be much greater.
