Replacing a roof How much will it cost?

Most people are pleasantly surprised when they’re told the price of a Gerard pressed steel roof. When all potential costs are taken into account, Gerard delivers world-proven style and performance at no extra cost.

All inclusive price

With a Gerard roof, everything is included in the quoted price, including purlins and roofing underlay. With long-run roofing, these items may not be included in the quoted price – be sure to ask.

Reduced overall building costs

Installing a Gerard Roofs pressed steel roof instead of a heavyweight concrete or clay tile roof can help to reduce overall building costs. fewer trusses, rafters and bracing elements are required with a Gerard roof.

No added costs for coastal areas

Gerard roofs don’t require any special anti-corrosion treatment if your home is near the sea. With a long-run roof, the building code demands either a special marine rated coating (which costs extra) or a more expensive grade of steel.

Understanding our cost guide

There are many variables that impact the cost of a roof, so we can’t give you an exact cost without knowing more about your home. However we realise that most people want a ‘rough guide’ to the cost of a Gerard roof. Below you’ll see common house types and sizes, accompanied by a price range. The variables that affect roof price are explained in detail below the chart.

Factors that impact roof cost

  • New home or re-roof: Re-roofing has additional costs, such as removal and disposal of the old roof.
  • Building use: Residential buildings use standard underlay. Commercial and institutional buildings will require fire resistant underlays, which cost more.
  • Size: Larger roofs are generally more expensive; however the cost per square metre can reduce with a larger roof.
  • Product choice: The profile, finish and colour you choose can affect cost, because some choices are more expensive than others.
  • Design complexity: As a rule, the more corners your roof has, the greater the cost. Roof style also impacts cost.
  • Location: Freight costs and proximity to your nearest installer will affect cost.
  • Site access: Unusual sites may require special equipment for access.
  • Roof height: Some sites will require scaffolding and edge fall protection during installation.
  • Roof pitch and rafter spaces: Roofs with a higher pitch or larger rafter spaces generally cost more. With two-storey homes, the cladding and pitch govern the type of flashings required for the top storey.
  • Extra values: Chimneys, skylights, narrow hips and raking cuts will increase roofing costs.
