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.
Liverpool — local context
Traditional material: Welsh slate on Victorian terraces, concrete interlocking post-war.
The Georgian Quarter, Canning and parts of the city-centre World Heritage buffer zone impose strict planning controls on roof coverings visible from the public realm.
