Price examples
Roof renovation costs vary widely, as there are many different degrees of renovation. For example, the type of roofing you will replace has an influence. For example, replacing bitumen is a lot cheaper than replacing all tiles. Renovating a flat roof is generally cheaper than that of a pitched roof, because it takes considerably fewer labour hours and the materials are cheaper.
New bitumen on your shed
Is the roof of your shed in need of a new layer of bitumen? If so, you will spend between £650 and £900. This is based on a barn roof of 15 m2, which is the average surface area of a barn in the Netherlands.
Replace roof tiles
Good roof tiles are very important for a dry and well-functioning roof. Are some of your roof tiles in need of replacement? If you have 10m2 of roof tiles laid, it will cost an average of £1100. After this project, you will once again have a beautiful roof with whole, undamaged tiles.
Price breakdown roof renovation
What determines the price for a roof renovation?
The roof renovation costs depend on a number of choices you will face. See which choices affect the cost of your roof renovation.
Choice 1: Material
The price of roofing depends on the type of material you choose. See below an overview of the costs of different roofing materials, so you know what to expect for your roof renovation.
| Material | Average price per m2 (including VAT and labour) |
|---|---|
| Bitumen | £46 |
| EPDM | £ 66 |
| PVC | £ 80 |
| Reed | £ 85 |
| Roof tiles | £ 85 |
Choice 2: Roof repair or roof renovation
Is your roof in need of an intensive renovation, or just a few tiles to be replaced? You may even need to install a completely new roof. The cost of replacing a few tiles is lower than insulating your roof and replacing all the tiles. Check your roof carefully, or have it checked by a roofer. If you often need a roofer for minor repairs, it is cheaper to opt for a roof renovation. This will get rid of all minor problems and allow you to live carefree under your roof.

With a roof renovation, there are a number of additional options, which you can use to improve your roof even more.
| Option | Average price (including VAT and installation) |
