UK homeowners · in their own words

People who walked into quotes knowing what's fair.

The first quote I got was £14,200. The calculator showed £8,500–£11,800 for my postcode. I asked two more roofers — paid £9,400 in the end. Saved over £4,000.
S Sarah J.
Full re-roof · Bristol (BS3)
Two roofers told me my chimney had to be removed for £3,500. The calculator suggested £1,700 for a repoint. I got a third opinion — repointed for £950. Still standing.
M Mark T.
Chimney repoint · Manchester (M14)
I was bracing myself for a £6,000 hit. Calculator showed £1,800–£3,500 for our flat roof. Done for £2,650 — and I could tell the roofer wasn't trying it on, which mattered more.

Common questions

Everything you might be wondering.

Is this estimate accurate? +
The range is an indicative UK guide aggregated from published 2026 cost data (FMB, Checkatrade, MyJobQuote, MyBuilder and 18 other sources), then adjusted by your postcode region using ONS construction-cost indices and FMB regional labour rates. It's typically within 10–15% of real-world quotes for the same job. It's not a guaranteed price — three on-site quotes will always beat a calculator — but it's a defensible starting point so you know whether the quotes you receive are fair, high or extortionate.
How does the calculator work? +
You give us three inputs: postcode, what you need (re-roof, repair, chimney, guttering, etc.) and your property type. We look up the typical UK base range for that combination, multiply by your regional adjustment (London +30%, Wales –18%, etc.), add a locality factor for city-centre or rural postcodes, and apply a coastal/exposed overlay where relevant. The output is an indicative low/mid/high range covering scaffolding, VAT and waste disposal.
What's NOT included in the range? +
Each estimate has a specific "typically excludes" list shown when you unlock Step 2, but in general the range does not include structural timber repair, lead flashing replacement on a full re-roof (priced as separate work), new gutters/fascias/soffits unless that's what you asked for, premium-spec materials, building-regulations notification fees, and any pre-work needed indoors (e.g. chimney breast removal). It's a "typical work" range, not a fixed quote.
Will you call or text me? +
No phone calls, no texts. If you enter your email to unlock the full breakdown, you'll get the report by email and 5 short follow-up emails over the next week with advice on negotiating quotes and spotting red flags. One-click unsubscribe in every email. We never sell your data to roofers or third parties.
Is my data safe? +
Yes. Your email is stored in our UK-based email system (Systeme.io) used only for the report and follow-up tips. Your postcode is stored to improve regional pricing data, anonymised. We never share, sell or rent your details. See our privacy notice for the full picture.
Why is it free? What's the catch? +
No catch. We run the directory of local roofers — the calculator is a free tool to help UK homeowners avoid being overcharged. If you'd like, you can use the directory afterwards to get free quotes from vetted local roofers. You're under no obligation to do so.
