Good questions
Roofing prices: your questions
How much does a roofer cost in Cambridge?
Checkatrade lists Cambridge roofer labour at about £35–£45 an hour or £280–£360 a day, the same as its UK figure. Most jobs are priced per job rather than by the hour once the roof has been surveyed.
Are roofing prices higher in Cambridge than the rest of the UK?
Not noticeably. Checkatrade's Cambridge averages for roof replacement (about £8,134) and repairs sit close to its national figures, and its per-m² repair rates for Cambridge are slightly below the UK rates. Gutter cleaning is one exception: the East of England is one of the dearer regions.
Why do roofing quotes vary so much?
Because access, scaffolding, the condition of the timbers underneath, materials and what is included all change the price. A cheap quote may leave out scaffold, removal of the old roof or Building Regulations work. Compare written quotes line by line; our guide on how to choose a roofer explains what to check.
Do these prices include VAT and scaffolding?
No, unless a row says so. Published guide prices generally exclude VAT, and scaffold is usually a separate line (a typical domestic scaffold costs from several hundred pounds a week). Your Roofing Cambridge quote lists everything clearly.
Is the online estimate a quote?
No. The estimator shows typical published price ranges to help you budget. Every roof is different, so we always survey first, free of charge, and then give you a fixed price in writing with no obligation.
