Real 2026 prices for the work we actually do, including labour, materials, waste removal and VAT. No registration, no email address, no call required to see a number.
Most roofing companies will not publish prices. We think that is the wrong way round. You are about to spend a few thousand pounds and you deserve to know roughly where you stand before anyone knocks on your door.
Canterbury and across east Kent

| EPDM rubber | £1,200 to £1,900 |
| GRP fibreglass | £1,400 to £2,200 |
Roof only, assuming the builder has completed the structure. Figures are for EPDM, which is what we fit on most extensions.
| Job | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Small extension, around 12 m² | £1,400 to £2,200 |
| Medium extension, around 20 m² | £2,200 to £3,400 |

| Very large extension, 50 m² and up | £4,800 to £7,500+ |
Repointing a stack is one of the most common jobs on older Canterbury properties, where the mortar has taken a century of weather.
| Job | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Single small stack, one flue | £450 to £700 |
| Single medium stack, two flues | £650 to £950 |
| Twin stacks | £900 to £1,400 |
| Large Victorian or Edwardian stack | £750 to £1,300 |
| Repointing and new lead flashing together | saves £200 to £400 against doing them separately |
Failed lead is behind a large share of the leaks we are called out to. It is usually a repair rather than a roof replacement.
| Job | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Single chimney stack, full flashing set | £450 to £750 |
| Twin or large chimney stack | £650 to £1,100 |
| Roof valley relining, per metre | £85 to £140 |
| Wall abutment flashing, per metre | £55 to £90 |
| Pitched to flat roof junction | £180 to £320 |
| Soaker repointing, no new lead | £150 to £300 |
Ridge mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Loose ridge tiles are a safety issue as much as a leak risk.
| Job | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Bungalow, single ridge run of 8 to 12 m | £600 to £1,100 |
| Semi-detached, one main ridge | £750 to £1,400 |
| Detached, main ridge plus hip ends | £1,200 to £2,200 |
| Larger detached, multiple ridges and hips | £1,800 to £3,500+ |
Replacing the roofline in uPVC. Doing fascias, soffits and gutters together is materially cheaper than doing them in separate visits, because the scaffolding goes up once.
| Job | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Mid-terrace, one elevation | £600 to £1,100 |
| Semi-detached, full perimeter | £1,400 to £2,400 |
| Detached, full perimeter | £2,200 to £3,800 |
| Bungalow, full perimeter | £1,100 to £2,000 |
| Guttering only, semi-detached | £900 to £1,600 |
| Guttering only, detached | £1,400 to £2,500 |
Spray foam in a loft can stop a mortgage or a sale. Removal is labour-intensive hand-stripping, and the price reflects the hours rather than the materials.
| Job | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Small terraced loft, 35 to 45 m² of slope | £2,200 to £3,800 |
| Standard semi-detached loft, 50 to 70 m² | £3,400 to £5,500 |
| Large detached loft, 75 to 110 m² | £4,800 to £8,500 |
| Bungalow with full roof spray, 90 to 130 m² | £5,500 to £10,000+ |
Dormers have more junctions than any other part of a roof, which is why they leak first.
| Job | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Dormer flat roof recover, felt to EPDM | £700 to £1,400 |
| GRP recover on dormer flat top | £900 to £1,800 |
| Lead flashing around dormer cheeks | £350 to £900 |
| Tile replacement on dormer cheeks | £200 to £600 |
| Window seals and trim | £180 to £450 |
Replacing polycarbonate with a solid insulated roof is the most common request. Building control approval is usually required.
| Job | Typical 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Small conservatory, 8 to 12 m², solid roof | £6,500 to £9,500 |
| Medium conservatory, 15 to 20 m², solid roof | £8,500 to £12,500 |
| Large conservatory, 25 to 35 m², solid roof | £11,000 to £18,000 |
| Glass replacement, medium conservatory | £6,000 to £9,500 |
A roof reached from a driveway costs less than one over a conservatory, a narrow alley or a neighbour's garden. On a terrace in the city centre, scaffolding alone can be a four-figure line.
Rotten decking, failed battens or wet insulation are not always visible until the old covering comes off. A good quote says what happens to the price if they are found, rather than staying silent and surprising you later.
Canterbury has a lot of pre-1940 housing stock. Older roofs mean hand-cut timbers, non-standard tile sizes and Kent peg tiles that have to be matched rather than bought off a pallet.
Large parts of central Canterbury and Faversham are covered. Materials may be specified for you, and that can move a quote by thousands.
Everyone wants a roofer in November. Booking a non-urgent job for late spring usually gets you a better price and a better date.
We would rather you spotted a bad quote than got caught by one, even if the good quote you end up taking is not ours.
Both. We work across Canterbury and east Kent and our pricing does not change by town. Travel is only a factor at the far edge of our area.
Yes. Every band on this page includes labour, materials, waste removal and VAT. There is no separate charge added at the end.
Because the honest answer depends on access, the state of the timbers underneath, and the property itself. A roofer who gives you one number over the phone without seeing the roof is guessing, and that guess tends to move upward once work starts.
No. Quotes and roof inspections are free, and we put the price in writing.
Thirty days. Material prices move, and we would rather re-quote than start a job on a number that no longer covers the work.
Send us a photo and a postcode and we will tell you honestly whether it is a repair or a replacement. Free, in writing, and no pressure to book.
Based in Canterbury. See our Canterbury roofing page or everything we do across Kent.
