Roof tiling - Concrete interlocking
per m² · supply & lay
£75 – £176 / m²
What is it

Supply and fixing of concrete interlocking roof tiles to pitched roofs, including underlay, treated battens, standard fixings, normal cutting and waste.

Rate guide
Standard-profile tiles to a straightforward pitched roof£83 – £110/m²
Large, simple roof slopes with repetitive detailing£75 – £97/m²
Premium-profile or low-pitch tile system£97 – £132/m²
Complex roof with hips, valleys and multiple abutments£110 – £154/m²
Small or fragmented roof areas£127 – £176/m²
Labour output
Large clear slopes with tiles mechanically handled to roof level55–80 m²/day
Typical housing roof with normal cutting and detailing35–55 m²/day
Complex hips, valleys, dormers and abutments20–35 m²/day
Broken-up work with restricted access or intermittent working10–20 m²/day
Key rate adjusters
Tile selection
Non-standard colours, finishes or premium profiles can add £8–£25/m² to the installed rate.
Roof complexity
Numerous hips, valleys, dormers and abutments commonly increase the rate by 15–35% through cutting and reduced productivity.
Pitch and access
Steep slopes, loading restrictions or additional fall-protection measures can add £10–£25/m².
Roof size
Small or fragmented work areas can attract a 20–50% uplift because set-up, handling and supervision costs are spread over fewer metres.
Special details
A high concentration of dry ridges, verges, valleys and proprietary ventilation components can add an effective £12–£30/m².
Location and market
Regional labour availability, logistics and tender conditions can move the budget rate by approximately 10–20%.
Quantity surveyor insights
  • Waste and buildability: Allow around 5–8% tile waste on simple roofs and 10–15% where slopes are heavily cut; early coordination of setting-out, tile gauge and openings materially improves output and reduces offcuts.
  • Scope and procurement: Confirm whether underlay, battens, eaves ventilation, dry ridge and verge systems, flashings, roof access, scaffolding and mechanical loading sit within the roofing package; early tile selection and allocation of manufacturer lead times reduce substitution and programme risk.
