    Someone here may be able to give you an idea but unfortunately you haven't given the area of the roof or stated if the rafter, joists, purlins etc are to be replaced.

    Are you sure the all the roof timbers needs replacing? I recovered my roof - it was built in 1886 - the slates were rotten but the timbers were by and large fine (just replaced some timbers around the chimney where the lead had failed and the timbers had rotten).

    If you live in the country-side the slates may be ok re reuse, but if you're in a city, they are probably no good as they rot much worse in city areas. If you plan to reuse them allow for grading the slates as they are stripped (probably a couple of hundred euro)

    Cost for timber roof (prefabricated trusses approx. 600-800 euro)
    Fit Roof - 900-1200 euro
    Fit roof coverings - allow €20-25 m2 to fit. (assuming slates are fine)
    Allow for lead flashings, gutters & fascia & soffit.

    Of course all the above could vary depending where in the country you are.

    I got a quote recently for a new roof on a new build, 900sq ft bungalow, warm roof construction, of €9k + vat. Includes all materials & natural slate. I have been told that's over the top so I'm in the middle of getting other costs, I'll post them when I have them.

    hi folks, I know it's a while since this thread was active, but just wondering how you got on enol & trixyben. I'm looking for quotes for similar roof repair/replace on an old house myself at the moment.
