Hi everybody,
It s been a while a while since i ve a priced a house for labour,but what quote should I charge reasonably for labour for timberwork and slating for a 2 storey A gable house, 15m long by 10m wide,35% roof pitch which includes ceiling joists with runners and hangers, 80 rafters, plus purlins propped in gable walls and from load bearing walls.The area of roof is 200 m squared which would take about 2 770 tegral slates.There would be 1 velux window.There would be 2 chimneys flush with gable wall at each end.The sunroom would be 5.5m long by 6.5 m wide roughly,again an A roof butting into main gable of 2 storey with roof area 50m squared taking about 700 tegral slates with rafters and collars to make a vaulted ceiliing.The house will be scaffolded but i will have to scaffold with trestles on the main roof for ridge and probably kwik stage scaffold for sunroom ridge.
I would greatly appreciate to hear from fellow chippys and roof slaters with what quotes they would think be reasonable in this current climate.
Kind Regards,
Clarechippy

Hi,
in my experience over 20 years slating I would charge 1.75 per slate latted and felted,throw in a few quid for leadwork as according to time,in relation to timber work I really wouldnt have a clue.

Thanks Territo,much appreciated.What area are you based in,any pick up at all in the trade your way .Hear of some jobs hear in Clare,not many though charging between 70 cent and 1 euro to slate,lat and felt.Would you reckon that they are cash prices or is that the norm,round Mid-West Ireland.
