Roof Covering Costs

[ZacP]

I've been looking at roof covering costs today. These are prices for just the slates/composite equivalent, not labour or felt/batten etc. The pitched roof area is 131sqm, pitched at 40deg. These quotes are what the supplier thinks is required to cover that inc. ridge tiles, wastage etc.

 

Jutland Graphite (1770* 600x300) £1575 (£1890 inc vat)

Spanish Slates (1770* 600x300) £4248 (£5097 inc vat)

TapcoSlate (2900 pewter grey) £5897 (£7077 inc vat)

 

Anybody heard of or used Jutland graphite? They're a composite style similar to the Tapco, but at a significant cost saving. Also, being fewer tiles for that and the natural slate, they might have a reduced labour cost? 

 

I'm struggling to see how the Tapco can justify its significant price difference. Any thoughts welcome! Thanks!

I used Spanish on our previous build 250m2

If you reduce the size the price drops considerably But more slates took me longer to nail them all on
