A guide price for your roof, what pushes it up or down, and what's included when we quote.

Guide prices for Swindon homes
Removal is priced mainly by the area of roof covered. Checkatrade's national guide puts the average at about £40 per square metre, or around £3,200 for an 80m² roof. Using that rate, here's a rough guide:
| Home | Roof area | Guide price |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bed terrace, such as in Rodbourne | about 50 m² | £2,000 |
| 3-bed semi, such as on the post-war estates | about 65 m² | £2,600 |
| 3-bed detached | about 80 m² | £3,200 |
| 4-bed detached, such as in West or North Swindon | about 100 m² | £4,000 |
These are guides, not quotes. Your fixed price comes after the free survey.
What makes it cost more
- Closed-cell foam. It's rigid and slower to remove.
- Tight access. Small hatches and low headroom, common in terraces and post-war houses, add labour.
- A damaged membrane. If the membrane needs replacing, that's extra work.
- Timber repairs. Rot or water damage found once the foam is off.
- Re-insulation. New insulation is priced separately in your quote.
- Listed buildings. Extra care on original timbers takes longer.
What's included in our price
Survey, removal, clean-down of the timbers, bagging and disposal of the foam through a licensed waste carrier, and your completion report with photos. Re-insulation and any repairs are shown as separate lines, so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
Is there help with the cost?
There's no general government grant for removal. If your foam was fitted under the ECO or Great British Insulation Scheme, the original installer should put non-compliant work right, and the work should have come with a guarantee. If you're releasing equity, some lifetime mortgages have allowed the foam to be removed after the money is released.
Questions
Do you charge for the survey?
No. The survey is free and there's no obligation.
Will the price change once you start?
Not unless we find something we couldn't see at the survey, such as hidden rot. If that happens we stop and talk to you before doing anything extra.
