Commercial roof replacement cost per square metre
The flat roof on our unit is past patching and needs replacing, it's roughly 200 square metres. What's a fair rate per square metre these days?
Expert Trade Answers
"For a commercial flat roof of around 200m², there isn’t a single “per square metre” price because it depends on the roofing system, insulation requirements, access, edge details, rooflights, drainage, scaffold/crane access and the condition of the existing deck. As a rough guide in the UK, a full commercial roof replacement is often in the region of £90–£180+ per m² for a complete strip and replacement, with higher-spec systems or extensive timber/steel deck repairs costing more.
The best approach is to have the roof professionally surveyed before pricing. A good contractor should provide a detailed specification, explain which system they’re recommending (felt, single-ply, GRP, etc.), include any insulation upgrades required to meet current Building Regulations, and itemise any additional costs such as scaffolding, waste removal and repairs to the roof deck. That way you’re comparing like-for-like quotes rather than just the lowest price."
