Asphalt or standard shingles usually wear out faster than slate, clay, or metal roofs. Expect around 15 - 25 years for basic shingles, compared with 50+ years for higher-end materials like slate.
A well-installed metal roof or high-quality asphalt shingles can be surprisingly durable for the cost. They often combine affordability with longevity, making them a smart choice for homeowners looking for value.
Shingles are generally cheaper upfront, but metal roofs often last much longer and need less maintenance. Over time, a metal roof can be the more cost-effective option.
Labour and materials usually make up the biggest chunk of the cost. High-end materials like slate or lead, complex roof designs, and difficult access can all drive prices up. Planning ahead and getting multiple quotes helps avoid surprises.
After the heavy rain, our roof started leaking in a couple of places. I contacted a local roofer via Localists, and they were on site the very next day. They explained the process, fixed the leaks, and even tidied up afterward. No stress, no upselling.

Our flat roof on the rear extension had started to sag, and I was worried about water getting in. The roofer arrived on time, worked efficiently, and gave us some useful maintenance tips. The job was completed in two days and looks fantastic.
