In my 15 years as a roofer here in Hertfordshire/essex and london… I’ve never seen pricing this out of control.
Hi, we are Glenwood roofing & building .
Right now, some homeowners are being quoted £14,000+ for roof replacements that can often be completed from £5,999.
Same tiles.
Same materials.
Same suppliers.
So what’s the difference?
Overheads.
Big showrooms.
Large vehicle fleets.
National advertising budgets.
And guess who ends up paying for all that?
You do.
Most roofers buy materials at very similar prices. The real difference is how much business overhead gets added on top.
We keep things lean.
Local team.
No flashy nonsense.
Just solid roofing done properly.
Here’s what one local homeowner we worked for in the SG18 area said after we replaced theirs:
“Glenwood roofing recently put a new roof on my house after so many issues with damp. I can’t express how happy I am with the result. The service was friendly, fast and efficient! So glad I used these guys and I’m getting them back next year to sort my mum’s roof.”
Before you accept a £12,000–£18,000 quote…
