Cost Breakdowns and Budgeting Advice for New Roof Installations

Planning a new roof installation in Bristol is a major investment, but with the right guidance and budgeting approach, it doesn’t have to be stressful. At Brunel Roofing Bristol, we believe in transparency, value, and helping homeowners understand exactly what they’re paying for.

In this article, we break down the typical costs involved in a roof replacement and offer tips on budgeting effectively.

 What Affects the Cost of a New Roof?

Several factors influence the total price of a new roof installation:

1. Roof Size & Shape

Larger roofs or those with complex shapes, hips, valleys, or dormers will require more labour and materials.

2. Type of Roofing Material

Your choice of material has a major impact:

  • Concrete tiles – affordable and durable

  • Clay tiles – traditional with longer lifespan

  • Slate – premium and long-lasting

  • Flat roofing – varies depending on system (felt, GRP, EPDM)

Check out our new roof installations in Bristol page for more detail on each material option.

3. Labour Costs

This varies by roof type and difficulty. At Brunel Roofing Bristol, our team offers competitive, fair pricing with skilled workmanship.

4. Scaffolding & Safety Measures

Scaffolding, skip hire, and safety equipment are often essential and included in the full project cost.

5. Removal & Disposal

Removing old tiles and disposing of waste materials responsibly also factors into the price.

 Typical Roof Installation Cost Ranges in Bristol

Here’s a general guide for new roofing costs (based on an average semi-detached property):

  • Concrete tiled roof: £4,500 – £6,500

  • Slate tiled roof: £7,000 – £10,000+

  • Flat roof installation: £1,200 – £3,500

  • Full roof replacement with structural repair: £8,000+

Please note: Prices vary depending on property type and condition—always request a tailored quote.

 Budgeting Tips for Your New Roof

  1. Get a Detailed Written Quote
    Avoid vague pricing—our quotes at Brunel Roofing Bristol clearly list materials, labour, scaffolding, and disposal.

  2. Plan for Unexpected Costs
    Include a 10–15% contingency in your budget in case any structural issues are found during the strip-off.

  3. Prioritise Long-Term Value
    Cheaper materials may cost more in repairs over time. Choose quality roofing that lasts decades with minimal upkeep.

  4. Ask About Guarantees
    We offer full workmanship guarantees and will walk you through material warranties for added peace of mind.

  5. Consider Financing
    Some customers prefer to spread the cost. While we don’t offer finance directly, we can guide you on what to discuss with your bank or provider.

    Highly recommend Brunel roofing! I shopped around for a couple of quotes for a new roof/timbers, parapet wall repair and chimney stack repointing - Brunel roofing were v thorough and identified issues that others didn’t during inspection, that would have cropped up with extra £££ as soon as the old roof was taken off. The quote was extremely reasonable compared to others I received, with high quality materials and the additional work included compared to other quotes. Jack and his team were highly efficient, communicative, respectful and did an excellent job. They talked me through the process and updated on progress during the work.
    I really valued their transparency, efficiency and excellent quality - if you need anything roof related in Bristol, go with this company.

    We've used Brunel roofing twice now (on different roofs!) and they've always been excellent, from the start, with realistic quotes that don't try to push us into unecessary work, through the communication, which is excellent, through to the work, which is timely, efficient, excellent quality with tons of photos of exactly what they did, and why, to leaving everything neat, clean and except for the fact our roof doesn't leak any more, we'd never have known they were there! 10/10, would highlly recommend.
