New Roof Cost in Basingstoke — 2026 Prices
Roof repairs, new roofs and roofline work across north Hampshire. Free surveys, fixed written quotes, tidy workmanship.
Basingstoke Roofing Company puts the numbers on the page. This is what a new roof costs in Basingstoke in 2026 — by house type, then broken down line by line so you can see where the money actually goes, and finally the extras that are cheap while the scaffold is up and expensive afterwards.
There is no 'roofs from £2,999' here. A re-roof on a 3-bed semi involves around five tonnes of material going up and about the same coming down, a week of labour, and scaffold for all of it. Anything advertised far below the ranges below is either a different job or a different scope.
What a new roof costs by house type
| Property | Roof area | Concrete interlocking tile | Clay tile | Natural slate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-bed terrace | 40–55 m² | £5,000 – £8,000 | £8,500 – £13,000 | £9,500 – £15,000 |
| 3-bed semi, estate-era | 55–80 m² | £6,000 – £10,500 | £10,000 – £16,000 | £11,500 – £18,000 |
| 4-bed detached | 80–115 m² | £9,000 – £15,500 | £15,000 – £23,000 | £17,000 – £26,000 |
| Bungalow, 2–3 bed | 75–105 m² | £7,000 – £12,500 | £12,000 – £18,500 | £13,500 – £21,000 |
| Chalet bungalow or dormer property | 90–130 m² | £9,500 – £16,000 | £15,500 – £24,000 | £17,500 – £27,000 |
Full strip and re-cover including scaffold, breathable membrane, graded battens, dry ridge and waste removal. Roof area is the sloping area, which is always larger than the footprint.
Where the money actually goes
This is the part almost nobody publishes. Below is a 3-bed estate semi with a roof of around 70 m², re-covered in concrete interlocking tile, priced the way we build a quote up. The percentages surprise most people — labour and access together are more than half the job, and the tiles everyone worries about choosing are barely a fifth of it.
| Line | Typical cost | Share of the job |
|---|---|---|
| Scaffold, erected and struck | £900 – £1,800 | 13–18% |
| Strip, skips and disposal | £600 – £1,100 | 9–12% |
| Breathable membrane and graded battens | £450 – £800 | 6–8% |
| Tiles, fixings and clips | £1,300 – £2,400 | 18–24% |
| Dry ridge, dry verge and ventilation | £500 – £1,100 | 7–10% |
| Leadwork to chimney and abutments | £300 – £900 | 4–8% |
| Labour, typically 5–8 days | £2,000 – £3,400 | 30–35% |
Indicative build-up for a 70 m² semi, totalling roughly £6,000–£10,500. Your quote from us itemises the same lines against your actual roof.
Extras that are cheap now and expensive later
Almost everything on the outside of a house is easier to reach when the scaffold is already there. Scaffold is 13–18% of a re-roof, and paying for it twice is the most avoidable waste in this trade. These are the add-ons worth pricing at the same time.
| Add-on | Cost with scaffold already up | Cost as a separate visit |
|---|---|---|
| Fascias, soffits and gutters, 3-bed semi | £1,500 – £2,900 | £2,100 – £4,000 |
| Chimney repointed and re-flaunched | £450 – £1,100 | £750 – £1,800 |
| Velux roof window fitted | £950 – £1,500 | £1,200 – £1,900 |
| Loft insulation topped up to 270mm | £350 – £700 | £450 – £850 |
| Rafter foot repairs, per rafter | £45 – £90 | Not viable alone |
2026 figures. Anything found on the strip is priced at the rate stated on your quote and agreed before it is replaced.
The lines to check on any roofing quote
Two quotes for the same roof can be £3,000 apart and both be honest, because they are not quoting the same work. Before comparing totals, check five things. Is scaffold in the price or excluded? Is the underlay a breathable membrane or a cheap non-breathable one? Are the ridges and verges dry-fixed or bedded in mortar again? Is the tile named — brand, model and colour — or just 'concrete tile'? And what is the stated rate if rotten timber is found, because a quote that stays silent on that is not a fixed price at all.
The other question worth asking is what is deliberately excluded. Ours say so in writing: VAT status, the chimney if it needs more than flashings, asbestos if any is found, and internal decoration. A quote with no exclusions has usually just not thought about them yet.
Every figure on this page is a guide range from jobs of that type. What you get from us is a free survey, photographs of what is actually up there, and one fixed written price for the work described. Work is carried out to BS 5534 for tiling and slating, BS 6229 where flat roofing forms part of the job, and NFRC good-practice guidance throughout.
