One reads a lot online about cost per square meter for certain roofing work.
In our case, presumably two roofs from the year 1930 need to be renewed (main house and extension) including insulation (which type is still open). In total, 4 "normal" Velux windows are to be installed. The roof covering is also still uncertain but should be dark in color, like the surrounding neighboring buildings. One roof has 83 sqm of surface area and the other 144 sqm. Each will have 2 Velux windows. The woodworm has already been busy, which is why both roofs probably need to be completely removed and rebuilt, including the roof trusses. My rough and layman’s calculation: around €52,000 in total, with the work done entirely by a professional company.
For our calculation of the renovation costs, I am looking for examples of what your roof renovation approximately cost.
Important, also for others here, would be information about:
- Roof shape
- Roof area
- Number of dormers or roof windows
- Type of covering
- Visible or invisible beams (open roof truss)
- Type of insulation
- Proportion of DIY work
- Total costs
This information can serve as rough price guidelines for many others here when they calculate their renovation costs.
In my case, I can estimate most trades for the renovation costs of our house, but I lack background knowledge regarding the roof. In the next few weeks, a roofer will come to us and estimate the costs; I will then share them here. However, I don’t expect an offer before summer...
Thanks in advance!
