What affects the price
— Extent of damage. A few tiles is a quick fix; widespread cracking, rust or storm damage scales the job up fast.
— Roof type & pitch. Steep, high or slate roofs need more safety equipment and slower, more careful work.
— Access & safety setup. Two-storey homes and roofs needing scaffold or rails carry meaningful setup costs.
— Hidden damage. Leaks often reveal rotted battens, rusted valleys or saturated insulation once the roofer is up there.
— Matching materials. Discontinued tile profiles and colour-matched sheets can be hard to source and add cost.
Tips before you post
— After big storms, be wary of door-knockers offering cheap roof repairs — get quotes from established local roofers.
— Ask for photos of the damage and the completed repair; you can't easily check the work yourself.
— If the damage is storm-related, check your home insurance before paying out of pocket.
