Roof replacement or renovation? Compare roofers near you

For a tiled roof you pay on average € 90 to € 150 per m² of roof surface, including underlay, battens and new tiles. A terraced house (40-80 m²) comes to € 5,500 to € 9,000; a detached house with a large roof can run to € 18,000 or more. Scaffolding and disposal of the old material belong in the quote.

Convert every quote back to a price per m² of roof surface — that is the trade norm and the only fair comparison. Also check whether scaffolding, disposal of old material, underlay and battens, and VAT are included, and whether the roof boarding's condition was assessed. A low per-m² price without those items is cheap on paper and not on the final invoice.

For a terraced house a complete roof replacement usually takes 2 to 4 working days, including scaffolding assembly and removal. A large or composite roof, or a renovation with much boarding repair, takes longer. The work is weather-dependent: storms or persistent rain shift the schedule — a roof is never opened unless it can be closed the same day.

In many cases replacing roof covering with the same appearance is permit-free. Stricter rules apply to listed buildings, protected town- and villagescapes, and changes to the roof shape. Check with your municipality or the online permit desk (Omgevingsloket) beforehand — a good roofer knows the rules in your municipality.

Yes, and it is actually the ideal moment: the roof is open anyway, so double scaffolding and stripping work disappears. Exterior insulation keeps the attic fully usable. Subsidy schemes also exist for insulation measures — ask the roofer or your municipality about current options before signing the quote.

Yes. Submitting a request costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Up to 3 roofers respond and you decide who to talk to — or no one, which is fine too. Prices and payment are arranged directly with the company.

Yes. We verify Chamber of Commerce registration and business liability insurance before a company receives requests. Companies with recurring complaints are removed from the platform.

Your details are shared only with the (up to 3) roofers matched to your request. We never resell your data and automatically delete requests after the legal retention period. See our privacy policy.

Yes. For HOAs, property managers and commercial buildings — often with large flat roofs — there are maintenance contracts with yearly inspections, a report per visit and a multi-year replacement plan. Choose 'Commercial property or HOA' in the request; you will receive a tailored quote.

Dakdekkerhulp is for planned roof work: replacement, renovation, insulation and inspection. If your roof is actively leaking right now, our sister site Daklekhulp (daklekhulp.nl) helps you faster: there an active leak gets priority and roofers often place an emergency seal the same day. If the leak is small and not urgent, you can also simply mention it in your request here.

Always ask for a warranty on both the material and the work performed, and have the terms put in the quote in writing. Manufacturer warranties on tiles, EPDM and bitumen differ per producer; the labour warranty is set by the roofing company itself. Keep the invoice — it is also proof of professional maintenance for your buildings insurance.
