About Professional Roofers

Professional Roofers is an independent UK guide to residential roofing costs and advice. It exists for one job: helping homeowners know what their roof should cost, before the scaffold goes up.

We are not a roofing contractor and we do not collect your details to sell as a lead. We write cost guides, explainers, and practical tools (a roof replacement cost calculator, a roof area calculator, a tile calculator, and a flat roof comparison) so you can walk into a quote understanding the numbers, the materials, and the questions worth asking.

This site is for the person who has a leak, a tired roof, or a builder’s estimate they want to sanity-check. Pitched and flat roofs, full re-roofs and repairs, EPDM, felt, fibreglass and GRP, slate and tile. We cover what it costs in plain figures, and why prices move the way they do.

How we research

Our cost ranges come from real merchant and supplier pricing, published rates from established sources, and the spread of quotes homeowners actually receive across the UK. We price materials and labour separately where we can, and we show ranges rather than a single tidy number, because access, pitch, region, and roof size genuinely change the bill.

Every cost figure is dated to the year it reflects, so you can see how current it is. We reference recognised standards where they matter, such as Building Regulations and relevant British Standards for roofing work, and we point to bodies like the National Federation of Roofing Contractors when accreditation is the point.

We do not invent named experts or fake credentials. The work here is produced by the Professional Roofers editorial team. Where we are uncertain, we say so rather than guess.

Editorial standards

We aim to be accurate, specific, and easy to act on. We write in plain British English and skip the filler. If we get something wrong, tell us and we will correct it and note the change.

Some links on this site may be affiliate or referral links, and we may be paid a fee when you contact a tradesperson through us. That never changes which materials, approaches, or price ranges we recommend. The advice is the same whether a link earns us anything or not.
