Flat roofs are where people most want a quick figure: a garage, a kitchen extension, a dormer. Firstprice puts an instant flat roof estimate on the website you already have, priced only from your rates, and sends you the enquiry with the job details.

What the homeowner does

  1. Chooses the job: a repair, a replacement or a new flat roof.
  2. Picks the covering: felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass. Not sure? They can switch between them and see the difference on their own roof size.
  3. Sets the size in m² with a slider. If they don’t know it, they can say so and the enquiry comes to you for a review instead of a guessed figure.
  4. Types anything else in plain words, such as a roof light or awkward access, and it’s priced from your allowances.

They see a guide range within two minutes, worded clearly as an estimate that a survey confirms.

An example

An 18 m² garage roof in felt, with example rates of £90 to £120 per m², comes out at £1,600 to £2,200. Switch to EPDM at £100 to £135 per m² and it’s £1,800 to £2,450. Your own rates replace these.

What you receive

The homeowner’s name and contact details, the job, the covering they chose, the size, their notes and the figure they were shown. You ring back knowing the job and the number they’re expecting.

Built for how flat roofs are priced

  • Separate low and high rates per m² for felt, EPDM and GRP.
  • A minimum job, so a small porch or bay roof never shows a silly figure.
  • Allowances for difficult access and the extras homeowners mention.
  • Survey-only for asbestos, listed buildings and structural damage.
  • Checked against ten of your past quotes before it goes live.
