Tips to save money
1. Plan outside peak season
Roofers are less busy in autumn and early winter — rates may be more negotiable during these periods.
2. Bundle the work
Combining re-roofing with insulation and roof windows reduces the overall cost by 10-15%.
3. Maintain regularly
Cleaning every 2-3 years (€15-25/m²) extends the roof’s lifespan and avoids costly emergency repairs.
