ESTIMATE FACTORS
What Factors Determine Your Final Quote?
Understanding how roofing specifications are tailored for each property.
Height & Access Requirements
Multi-storey homes, narrow side passages, or difficult angles may require tower scaffolding or scaffolding to ensure roofer safety and comply with HSE regulations.
Tile Material & Availability
Standard interlocking concrete tiles are the most cost-effective, whereas natural Spanish/Welsh slate or heritage handmade clay plain tiles require specialised sourcing and skilled fitting.
Underlying Timber & Felt Condition
If water ingress has rotted roof battens, trusses, or decayed traditional bitumen sub-felt, replacing structural timbers and installing breathable membrane is essential.
Roof Pitch & Complexity
Steep pitches, multiple valleys, dormers, hip junctions, and skylights require increased labor, specialized flashings, and precision cutting.
Roof Repair vs Full Replacement
How to determine which option delivers the best financial and structural return for your property.
- ✓Roof is under 20 years old and overall structure is sound
- ✓Damage is localised to a few slipped tiles or flashing joints
- ✓Underlying breathable membrane and battens are intact
- ✓Fast, budget-friendly fix required for an immediate leak
- ✓Roof is over 30–40 years old with widespread tile decay
- ✓Frequent recurring leaks requiring repeated costly callouts
- ✓Rotting structural battens or perished bitumen underlay
- ✓Adding long-term property value with fully insured installation

Fair Pricing, Top Workmanship: What Clients Say
Real feedback from homeowners who received transparent quotes and exceptional roofing results.
“After high winds dislodged several ridge tiles on our roof, WOW Roofers arrived within 2 hours of calling. They made the roof watertight immediately and returned the following day to re-bed the tiles. Excellent communication, fair price, and zero mess left behind.”
“We needed a full re-roof on our 1930s semi. The team was prompt, polite, and worked relentlessly through freezing conditions. The quality of the new Marley tiles and dry ridge system is second to none, and knowing the team is fully insured provides real peace of mind.”
“Delighted with the roof soft washing and biocide treatment. Our roof looked tired and covered in thick moss. The technicians scraped it manually without pressure-damaging the tiles and applied a preventative wash. The house looks ten years newer!”
