replacing tiled roof with tin

[Olive]

anyone know the costs involved?? our roof needs repair- repointing, replacing some tiles, resealing etc... and we are considering changing from tiles to tin and wondering if anyone knows approx how much it costs

Do you know roughly how big your house is? I can tell you a rough cost for a brand new metal roof? If that helps?

You know that you have to get a qualified roofer or plumber to do it hon
I *think* my SIL paid $10,000 for her's and she has a small 12square home but you could see if anyone has specials on and some places give you a discount if you have a sign on your front lawn for 6-12 months

muppity its around 22sq, thankd hun!!

maz seriously ?????

I'll double check babe...I'll ask J tonight. She lives in Fern tree gulley and I can find out the name of the person.

ANd yep its not cheap. You have to have a certificate for any work done to your roof now a days and plumbers charge through the nose for their services. We hade the roof put on the extention out the back, its was 3m wide and 15m long and it cost us $4000, $1000 of it was cash in hand to the guy, J helped and $3000 in materials

we did get a quote from a guy for $3000 but like maz said we wanted a building certificate and warenty and stuff

The company i work for built a house 210m2 (thats the closest in size i could find to yours) last year and the metal roof cost $3000 inc GST if thats any help.

we just had ours re pointed and painted and about 50 tiles replaced and it cost us $11000! we are happy with it and thought about a new tin roof but i think that would cost about $30000 and wouldnt suite our house style TBH

Ours is about 18
