Getting to it
Scaffolding or a tower is often a large share of a small job. A chimney on a tall house costs more to reach than a porch roof.
What the roof is made of
Concrete tiles are cheap and easy to find. Natural slate, clay tiles, lead and discontinued profiles cost more.
What is underneath
If the felt, battens or deck have rotted, the job grows. A good quote says what has been seen and what might be found.
How awkward it is
Steep pitches, valleys and dormers take longer than a simple slope.
How urgent it is
Out-of-hours call-outs cost more than booked work.
