You're right, £2/5/10k no problem either of them pick one, it obviously won't matter the size or type of tile at all.
My shed was done for £200 and I've just roofed a school for £275k so anywhere between those two

Thanks folks. Except macca
Hey I'd fully expect the same if I went into a spec me a build thread with no specs in anyway shape or form. Can you imagine it
Hi, I would like a PC or a laptop of a tablet, don't know what I want or how much, can you spec me please? Thanks Macca
Provide a bit more detail and I'll gladly have a look
The support guys at work get that all the time: "I want a laptop or computer, buy me one please". They don't care what it is really, as long as it does the job sufficiently.
Same case for the OP, and I'd be the same for roofing - just put tiles on that'll do the job that tiles do for a long time, he doesn't really need to know/research exactly what tiles, surely?
I suppose it might benefit him to research to avoid getting ripped off, but the same can be said for these customers that just want a computer and don't care what it is.

Yes he does because you can't roof a slate roof with concrete tiles as they are too heavy. Slate tiles are a fortune especially welsh slate, you can get spanish or chinese but they last 10 seconds. Also the shape and pitch would be additional ridges hips and valleys and could be no leadwork or a lot of lead work, so really yes it does matter quite a bit.
Yeah, as I said, it would benefit him to research to avoid getting ripped off, but he just wanted a rough cost of typical tiles on a typical roof of a typical 3 bedroom house.
Surely there's a 'typical' tile that these standard every-day houses use?

Nope. The further north or west you go the more robust the construction due to weather and snow. It's pointless without a bit of detail

You'll need to add, VAT (if required), prelims, scaffolding, and any other attendance required. They are South East prices so add 4% for Inner London and -10 - 15% for anywhere else
Why do you want the tiles "renewed", that roof looks fine?
All that will do is make your side look different from your neighbour and perhaps a bit naff.
What happens in my area is people get rid of a nice Stafford Blue tiled roof, and plop on a red tiled concrete one. This then makes the whole row look chavy.
If anything, get rid of the ugly concrete tiles from the porch and source replacements that match your roof.
That house looks great, but please do not put concrete tiles up there.
I've passed on so many period houses up for sale because it had the wrong roof tiles, it knocks at least 5-10% off the value in my opinion.

I'm looking to replace with as-close-to-the-original tiles as I can.
Reason for changing is because those tiles you see are falling apart. I've had to replace (from the inside - no membrane) about a dozen or so already (in 2 years) that have cracked and fallen off.

Even replacing with close to original it's going to look like night and day when compared to your neighbours weathered ones. Unless you could convince your neighbour to have it done at the same time.
I'm not actually sure what the tiles are on your roof. They look nice and neat though, definitely go for something similar rather than crappy interlocking concrete.
