gavztheouch Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Thinking about using green coat. Before I get quotes would be interested to know a rough price per square meter. we have some tricky details, 3 dormer windows and 1 roof light.

Kelvin Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I’ve just received a quote and the difference between it and zinc is marginal £18m2. I’m waiting on more quote’s hopefully next week. Greencoat - £145m2 fitted including all rainwater goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvin Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Yes it’s surprisingly dear. It’s the labour I expect. Remember it includes the Lindab rainwater goods which were about £4000 of that. Edited February 10, 2023 by Kelvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Companies will typically price on a sqm rate for the area to be covered plus a linear meter rate for verge, ridge, hip, eaves etc. Then you will have rainwater goods which usually are a mix of linear meter for gutter/downpipe and qty for things like stopends, shoes etc. Some will break their quote down so you can see what price you're paying for each bit, others will break the item down but not put the price against it i.e. you just get a grand sum for the whole job. So whilst you can compare quote A with quote B, trying to get 'under the skin' of how its made up can be difficult if they vary widely. I've had quotes vary by £30k. Our PLX came in at around £120 sqm all in i.e. lots of details like window reveals, cills, aprons, etc. Roll back 2yrs and I could've got zinc for that but to be fair I'm really glad I went with PLX in the end.

Kelvin Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 How big is the roof to vary by £30k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 We've got SS roof and cladding. After some lengthy conversations we uncovered his labour was similar but was marking up the material way above others. Trouble is it isn't always clear when you first get the quotes so you don't know if he's overpriced or others have under priced. Unless you get them to quote on a Bill of Quants it won't necessarily be clear. Its a big ticket item in anyones book so my advice is research it well and choose carefully.

I don't think that's too bad given recent inflation. I installed my standing seam roof myself, but before I did we got an installation quote of £8k plus the roof materials that I'd already bought at about £8k (inc Lindab rainwater goods), so that worked out to about £126m2 just as Covid hit. Our highest quote was just under £34k. Our roof has two different curves mind you but no penetrations. Edited February 10, 2023 by SimonD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 The VMZinc is £175/m2 including matching zinc rainwater goods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
