New roof cost and question

newaccount2017

I need to get my roof done- I met with a carpenter and he's going to get back to me. What he recommended matched the engineer's survey that I got when buying the house so I feel like he knows what he's doing, I'm waiting for a quote now. Does anyone know a ballpark figure (even rounded to the nearest 5,000) how much it would cost to rebatten the roof, remove old felt and put new membrane down and add new tiles? It's a 3 bed bungalow, sorry I don't have the measurement of the roof on me now.

Another thing is, all the houses on the road have tiles on the roof, is there any advantage to switching to regular slates? The roof is at a low pitched and covered in moss and I wonder if slate roofs have this problem too? All the house around have tons of moss on their roof too (their houses have the exact same design, low pitch roof).

Thanks

The moss is not that closely related to the pitch - it's more related to the trees and foliage nearby. (Although it would be fair to say that certain coverings probably allow it to grow more easily)

When you say "shallow" how low a pitch do you mean. All slate and tile manufacturers have mandatory slopes and you need to get specialist products for pitches below a certain slope.

Sorry, maybe I exaggerated how low the pitch is. It's a regular enough pitch.
