Replacing Flat Roof

[shapnacker]

Good Evening.

I have a small extension to the back of the house measuring approximately 3mx3m.

It has an old bitumen roof that has lost its integrity and is beginning to leak. I need the following done:

• Removal of the flat roof.
• Removal and replacement of the existing decking boards.
• Insulating the roof space.
• Replacing the existing roof with an EDPM roofing system.
• Removal of all excess and waste materials from the site.

What kind of costs would I be looking at? Ballpark is fine...

£7,000, I'll start on Tuesday.

£500 I'll use a high quality cling film system as opposed to EPDM and I'll start tonight with my miner's light. Oh and Roy & Pete will be out tomorrow to finish it off

Insulating the roof space.
...

Don't insulate the void, rather insist on a 'warm deck' system.

HERTSDRAINAGE2010, thanks for your response. Unfortunately I think you might be a little ouit of my price bracket!

 

[shapnacker]

joe-90. Is that a genuine estimate?

 

[shapnacker]

upstairscharly. Can one use cling film for such a job?

 

[shapnacker]

noseall. That sounds like the way to go. Any idea of costs?

 

[joe-90]

joe-90. Is that a genuine estimate?

Yes. Probably £1200 or possibly a tad more.

 

[shapnacker]

joe-90, thanks for the reply. Is the price including VAT?

 

[joe-90]

The type of guy that does that sort of work is rarely VAT registered.

"The type of guy that does that sort of work is rarely VAT registered."

Sorry mate I don't know what you mean.

 

[joe-90]

It's small works and if they become VAT registered they usually go bust as they compete against non-Vat registered people. They therefore stay under the VAT limit, which suits them and suits you. Go for a bigger outfit if you wish, but the likely cost will double. (at least).

So if someone was to quote me say £1200 then that's all I would expect to pay? Sorry if I appear dense but I've always used friends to do work for me or done it myself.
