The vast majority of UK homes have pitched roofs — the traditional sloped design that sheds rain and snow effectively. Here's what you need to know about pitched roof replacement costs in 2026. ## Pitched Roof Costs by Roof Style Roof Style Complexity Cost Impact Simple Gable Low Standard pricing Hip Roof Medium +10–15% vs gable Cross-Hip High +15–25% vs gable Mansard Very High +25–40% vs gable With Dormers High +£500–£1,500 per dormer ## Pitched Roof Cost by Property Size Property Concrete Tiles Clay Tiles Natural Slate Terraced £3,500 – £5,500 £4,500 – £7,000 £5,500 – £8,500 Semi-Detached £5,000 – £7,500 £6,000 – £9,000 £7,500 – £11,000 Detached £7,000 – £11,000 £8,500 – £13,000 £10,000 – £16,000 ## What Goes Into a Pitched Roof Replacement? A full pitched roof replacement involves several stages: - **Scaffolding erection** — essential for safety and access - **Stripping the old roof** — tiles, battens, and old felt removed - **Inspection of timbers** — rafters and purlins checked for rot or damage - **New breathable membrane** — replaces the old felt underlay - **New battens** — nailed across the rafters for tile fixing - **New tiles or slates** — installed from eaves to ridge - **Ridge and hip tiles** — modern dry fix systems are best practice - **Lead flashing** — around chimneys, abutments, and valleys ## Dry Ridge vs Mortar Ridge Traditional mortar-bedded ridge tiles can crack and fail over time. Modern dry fix ridge systems use mechanical fixings, providing: - Better wind resistance - No cracking or crumbling mortar - Longer lifespan (maintenance-free) - Slight additional cost (£300–£600 extra) but well worth it ## Pitched Roofers' Cost: Day Rates Most pitched roofing jobs use a 2–3 person team charging **£200–£350 per roofer per day**, with London 20–30% higher.
