What the job involves

Flat roof replacement is priced per square metre of covering, with the system choice (EPDM, GRP, felt, TPO) driving most of the variance. A typical small extension is 15–25 m², which puts full replacement in the £1,200–£4,500 range before scaffold and skip.

A proper replacement includes checking and usually replacing the deck underneath, creating sufficient falls to avoid ponding, and dressing upstands properly into the abutting wall or parapet. Cheap quotes often skip these details.

Leeds — local context

Traditional material: Welsh slate, Yorkshire stone slate on heritage roofs.

Headingley, Roundhay Park and parts of Chapel Allerton are conservation areas where natural slate or stone slate is typically required; Yorkshire stone slate re-roofs are significantly more expensive than the concrete tile alternative.

What changes the price

  • System choice — felt cheapest, EPDM mid, GRP or single-ply most expensive.
  • Area in m² plus complexity (penetrations, upstands, rooflights).
  • Whether the deck underneath is sound or needs replacing.
  • Scaffold access and waste removal.

Timeline: Usually 2–5 days on site depending on size.
