I live in a semi detached Victorian house with a loft room. It’s a pitched hipped roof with 2 dormers. Currently there is absolutely no insulation in the roof and it is very draughty, the room is completely unusable in the winter and there’s no door so getting it insulted is a priority. There isn’t much space between the roof tiles and the plasterboard so the ceiling needs to be dropped to accommodate 75mm PIR boards. Turns out the tiles are asbestos so need replacing as well.
I have received a quote for £60k including VAT to get it sorted - this is way higher than I was expecting. It covers scaffolding, skip hire, new roof batten, new tiles, eave protection trays, new breather membrane, new ridge tiles, 75mm PIR plus gapotape, dropping ceiling and replastering, re-rendering the chimney stack and redoing the roof on a bay window.
That is quite a bit of work but still seems like a lot - is this in the ballpark of reasonable?
