New Roof Cost in Wokingham — 2026 Price Guide
Roof repairs, re-roofs and flat roof specialists across Wokingham. Free surveys, fixed written quotes, tidy workmanship.
Wokingham Roofing Company gets asked one question more than any other: what will a new roof actually cost? This page answers it with real numbers — new roof and re-roofing prices for Wokingham by house type and by material, and an explanation of what moves the figure up or down. No 'prices from £2,999' bait; these are the ranges genuine jobs land in.
Two tables follow. The first prices the whole job by property type; the second shows how material choice changes it. Every figure includes scaffold, strip, membrane, battens, fixings and waste removal — the things cheap quotes quietly exclude.
New roof cost by house type
| Property | Roof area (approx) | 2026 price range |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bed terrace (Victorian, town centre) | 40–55 m² | £5,000 – £8,500 |
| 3-bed semi (1930s, e.g. Barkham Road area) | 55–75 m² | £6,000 – £10,500 |
| 3–4 bed detached (modern estates) | 75–110 m² | £8,500 – £15,000 |
| Large detached / chalet bungalow | 110–160 m² | £12,000 – £22,000 |
| Bungalow, 2–3 bed | 70–100 m² | £7,000 – £12,500 |
Concrete interlocking tile, full strip and re-cover. Clay or slate moves these ranges up — see the material table below.
How material choice changes the price
| Covering | Supply cost per m² | Typical 3-bed semi total | Expected life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete interlocking tile (Marley, Redland) | £18 – £35 | £6,000 – £10,500 | 50–60 years |
| Concrete plain tile | £30 – £50 | £8,000 – £13,000 | 50–60 years |
| Clay tile (machine-made, e.g. Sandtoft) | £45 – £75 | £10,000 – £16,000 | 60+ years |
| Fibre cement slate | £35 – £55 | £8,500 – £13,500 | 40–50 years |
| Natural slate (Spanish) | £55 – £90 | £11,000 – £18,000 | 80–100 years |
Totals include labour, scaffold, breathable membrane, BS 5534-graded battens and waste. Handmade clay and Welsh slate sit above these ranges again.
What genuinely moves the figure
Beyond size and material, four things drive the spread in those ranges. Scaffold complexity — a detached house with clear access scaffolds cheaply; a terrace backing onto a narrow alley doesn't. Roof shape — hips, valleys and dormers add cutting, lead and time compared with two plain slopes. Hidden condition — rotten rafter feet or beetle damage found on strip are priced per timber, which is why our quotes state the rate for that before work starts rather than springing it mid-job. And detail choices — dry ridge and verge systems, new fascias while the scaffold is up, or upgraded eaves ventilation each add hundreds rather than thousands but are far cheaper done now.
One thing that shouldn't move the figure: the quote itself. Ours are fixed and written, itemised by material brand and specification, produced after a free survey. If a price can't be explained line by line, it isn't a price — it's an opening bid.
