What does shed roofing cost?
The roof of your shed protects the contents of your shed in all weathers. If the condition of the roofing on your shed is no longer satisfactory, you will want to replace it . The price for roofing on your shed depends partly on the type of roofing you choose. The most popular roofing materials for barns are bitumen, EPDM and PVC. This is because barn roofs are flat in most cases. If your shed has a pitched roof, tiles are chosen in most cases. To give you an idea of the costs for this project, the overview below shows the average costs for this project. This is based on a 15 m roof2, which is the average surface area of a barn in the Netherlands.

As inexpensive as possible:
With bitumen, one option is to apply a new layer over the existing layer of bitumen. This saves on costs as the old layer does not have to be removed. The average price for applying a new layer of bitumen on a 15m roof2 is £500. Bitumen roofing lasts 20 years on average.
Changing the roofing:
Would you like to replace the roofing on your shed with another type of roofing? Many people choose to have their bitumen replaced with EPDM roofing. This project will cost you on average £1,500 for a roof area of 15 m2.

Choice 2: Insulate
Do you use your shed as a living space, for example as a studio or office? Then it makes sense to have the roof of your shed insulated. This way, you will preserve the heat in the shed and little heat will be lost. Even if you do not heat your shed and use it as a living space, insulation is recommended. Insulation prevents mould and rust from taking hold of your shed. Insulation keeps the cold and wet out, which means your shed lasts longer and needs fewer repairs. Having your shed roof insulated costs on average £45 per m2. That means you will pay an average of £750 in total for the insulation of your barn roof
Choice 3: Location
Do you choose a roofing company in your area or a national company? Roofing companies in your area won’t have to travel as far to your shed and you’ll save on call-out charges.
Choice 4: Additional options
