When it comes to roof covering, price will vary according to the material chosen, its modular size, shape and surface finish. First of all it may be worth contacting your Town Hall or local Planning Department to see if there are any regulations governing the choice of materials and colours.
If you are replacing the original material by a different one, or even changing one clay tile for another of the same material it is worth contacting a professional as it may be necessary to change the insulation and replace the felt and battens.
Be sure to include the labour cost of removing the old roof covering when re-roofing.
The cost of clay roof tiles varies according to their size, format, texture, colour and coverage (number per m²). Large format interlocking tiles are installed very quickly as few are required per m² of roof. By contrast the beautiful effect of small plain tiles installed on a steeply-pitched roof is stunning. The quantity per m², and therefore the price, will be higher than that for an interlocking tile.
A good roofer will be able to listen to your preferences and provide technical and budgetary advice for your individual project. He may, for example, advise the replacement of just some broken tiles, an area of your roof or the entire roof depending upon his examination.
