What are the costs for a completely new roof?

A new roof is based on construction + covering. In the case of renovation without structural replacement, the costs are significantly lower.

Price structure new pitched roof (example: 100 m², ceramic tiles)

Extra costs (if applicable)

Subsidy for roof insulation (ISDE 2025)

If you also apply roof insulation with an Rc value of ≥ 3.5 during new construction or replacement, you may be eligible for an ISDE subsidy:

Application within 24 months after implementation, only when installed by a certified company.

Advice via jeofferte.nl

Via jeofferte.nl you can receive no-obligation, tailor-made quotes for:

• New construction or renovation of pitched and flat roofs
• Comparison of roof types (price, lifespan, maintenance)
• Optional: insulation, subsidies and sustainability advice

You will receive market-conform, specified offerings from recognized roofers.

1. Type of roof (sloped or flat)

• Sloped roofs require more labor and often specific customization (tiles, slates, reeds).
• Flat roofs are easier to access and faster to cover, but require more attention to waterproofing.
• Thatched roofs and green roofs are more labor-intensive than tiled roofs or bitumen covering.

2. Choice of roofing

The material costs and installation complexity vary greatly:

Materials with a longer lifespan or higher aesthetic value are more expensive, but offer added value in the long term.

3. Surface of the roof

• Larger surfaces often reduce the price per m² due to economies of scale in labor and material.
• Small roofs (< 40 m²) have relatively high fixed costs per m² (e.g. scaffolding, transport, waste processing).

4. Complexity of the roof shape

• Roofs with dormers, corners, valleys, chimneys or multiple levels require more labor and detailing.
• Straight gable roofs are easier and cheaper to realize than hip roofs or mansard roofs.

5. Insulation (type and thickness)

• Insulation is often also placed during roof replacement:
• Inside (between the beams): € 25 – € 45 per m²
• Outside (sarking): € 40 – € 60 per m²
• Flat roof insulation: € 35 – € 55 per m²
• Roof insulation with Rc ≥ 3.5 is eligible for subsidy via the ISDE scheme.

6. Roof accessibility

• Hard-to-reach roofs (backyards, city centers) often require:
• Crane rental: € 350 – € 750 per day
• Extra scaffolding: € 300 – € 600 per week
• Easy access without obstacles lowers execution costs.

7. Labor intensity and assembly method

• Materials such as slate, reed or solar tiles require much more man-hours than roof tiles or EPDM.
• Prefab elements (e.g. dormers) can reduce labor costs if well planned.

8. Finishing and details

Extra facilities can influence the price:

9. Disposal costs old roofing

• Removing and disposing of old roof tiles, bitumen or reed is labor-intensive.
• Estimated price: € 10 – € 25 per m², depending on type and accessibility.

10. Subsidies and tax benefits

• ISDE subsidy for roof insulation with Rc ≥ 3.5: up to € 30 per m²
• Possible extra benefit when combined with glass, heat pump or solar panels
• Subsidy reduces the net investment, but requires correct execution and application

A new roof is a significant, but often valuable investment. In the following situations, it is rational and technically sound to consider a new roof:

1. Lifespan has been reached or exceeded

Every roofing has a limited lifespan:

After reaching this term, structural problems often occur (leaks, crumbling, heat loss).

2. Regularly recurring leaks or damage

In case of repeated problems, such as:

• Leaks in different places
• Detaching roofing or cracks
• Visible wear of tiles, bitumen or leadwork
• Loose or collapsed ridge tiles

… repair is often no longer cost-effective. A complete replacement prevents permanent damage to the underlying roof construction.

3. Roof construction is affected or subsided

A roof construction (beams, purlins, roof boarding) may be affected by:

• Exposure to moisture or wood rot
• Infestation by insects (such as woodworm)
• Subsidence or deflection after decades of use

In these cases, it is necessary not only to replace the covering, but also the construction (new roof).

4. Desire for sustainability or energy efficiency

A new roof is often the best chance to:

• Roof insulation (Rc ≥ 3.5 m²K/W) to be installed, mandatory for many renovations
• To place solar panels directly on the new roof
• To switch to sustainable roofing (e.g. EPDM or green roof)
• To apply for subsidy via the ISDE scheme

Combination of roof replacement and insulation can yield up to 30% subsidy.

5. Functional adjustments

A new roof may be necessary for:

• Changing the roof type (for example, from flat to pitched)
• Construction of a roof structure or extra floor
• Realization of larger dormer windows or roof windows
• Raising the ridge line during attic conversion

In this type of project, the old roof construction is often unsuitable or unprofitable to maintain.

6. Damage due to fire, storm or other damage

After serious calamities, repair is often technically or economically irresponsible. Examples:

• Fire damage to support beams or insulation
• Storm damage where the roof has been partially blown away
• Hail damage to slates, roofing or ridge tiles

A complete replacement is then often required from insurance or structural advice.

Advice via jeofferte.nl

Via jeofferte.nl you can have a professional assessment of whether a new roof is needed:

• Non-binding inspection and quotation by recognized roofers
• Overview of alternatives: repair, renovation or complete replacement
• Comparison of materials, insulation options and subsidy potential

You will receive a clear substantiation with associated cost estimate and implementation advice.

When renewing or repairing a roof, there is more to it than just installing new roofing. Depending on the type of roof, the condition of the construction and the desired lifespan or insulation value, several operations may be necessary or desirable. jeofferte.nl provides an overview of the most common activities below, so that you can make a well-informed choice.

1. Removing existing roofing

For almost every renovation project, it is first necessary to professionally remove the old roofing (bitumen, EPDM, roof tiles, zinc, etc.). This is done manually or mechanically, depending on the material and construction of the roof.

Particularities:

• Removal must be done carefully to avoid damage to the roof structure to prevent.
• Disposal of old material is often included in the quotation, but this should always be checked.

2. Checking and repairing the roof structure

After removing the old roofing, the underlying construction is inspected. Wood rot, deflection or moisture problems can pose a risk and must first be repaired.

Common activities:

• Replacing or reinforcing roof boarding.
• Applying vapor-retardant foil.
• Repairing wooden purlins, beams, or rafters.

3. Insulating the roof (inside or outside)

When replacing the roofing, it's the ideal time to apply roof insulation. This can be done on the inside of the roof boarding (cold side) or on the outside (warm side, under the new roofing).

Choices in insulation material:

• PIR/PUR boards (high insulation value, thin construction)
• Mineral wool (cheap, sound-absorbing)
• Wood fiber or ecological insulation (sustainable alternative)

Insulation in combination with roof renovation is often eligible for ISDE subsidy. jeofferte.nl helps you to take advantage of this scheme.

4. Applying new roofing

Depending on the type of roof (flat or pitched), there are several options for new roofing. Each material has its own characteristics in terms of lifespan, price and maintenance.

Commonly used materials:

Please note: the choice of material not only affects the price, but also the weight on the roof construction. Advice from a professional is essential.

5. Finishing and roof details

A good roof consists not only of the covering, but also of a correct finish. Think of roof edges, fascias, rainwater drainage and lead-throughs.

Examples of finishing:

• Zinc or plastic roof trims
• New gutters and downpipes
• Connections to chimneys, skylights or ventilation ducts
• Finishing with gravel, ballast or vegetation (for flat roofs)

6. Installing a green roof

A sedum roof or other type of green roof is possible on top of existing or new roofing (usually EPDM or root-resistant bitumen). This requires extra preparation and a water-retaining substrate.

Advantages:

• Extends the lifespan of roofing
• Subsidy possible via municipality
• Better insulation and water buffering

jeofferte.nl works with specialists who can fully guide you in the construction, subsidy application and maintenance advice for green roofs.

7. Roof safety and inspection facilities

Especially with larger or commercial roofs, it may be necessary to have fall protection, walkways or maintenance facilities installed. This is often mandatory for commercial properties and homeowners' associations.

Examples:

• Permanent anchor points
• Roof hatches or roof ladders
• Emergency drains or overflows

8. Inspection, reporting and warranty

After completion of the work, a final inspection is desirable. Many professional roofers offer a final report or completion statement. In addition, it is wise to record a written warranty, both on material and workmanship.

Common warranties:

• 10 to 15 years on workmanship
• Up to 20 years on materials (depending on supplier)

jeofferte.nl only selects parties that work according to the applicable standards and offer insured guarantees.

Conclusion

A roof renovation involves more than just replacing the covering. By investing in good preparation, insulation and finishing, you prevent future problems and optimally exploit savings opportunities. jeofferte.nl is happy to help you find certified roofers who offer transparent quotes and think along about sustainable, future-proof solutions.

Replacing or renovating roofing can involve significant costs. To encourage sustainable choices, there are various subsidies and schemes available at national and municipal level. Especially when roof renovation is combined with insulation or greening of the roof, homeowners and homeowners' associations are eligible for financial support.

1. ISDE – Investment Subsidy Sustainable Energy and Energy Saving

The ISDE is a national subsidy scheme of the Central Government. This scheme reimburses part of the costs for house insulation, including roof insulation. If you also have insulation material installed when renewing your roof, you can apply for an ISDE subsidy.

Conditions ISDE:

• Have at least two insulation measures carried out (e.g. roof insulation + floor insulation).
• The roof surface must be at least 20 m².
• The work must be carried out by a recognized company.
• Application within 24 months of execution.

Indication subsidy amounts ISDE (2025):

Please note: these amounts may be adjusted annually. jeofferte.nl always advises to check current amounts at RVO.nl or via our own subsidy check.

2. Subsidy for green roofs (local regulations)

In many municipalities, there are additional subsidies available for installing a green roof. This subsidy is intended to collect rainwater, reduce heat stress and promote biodiversity.

Conditions vary per municipality, but usually applies:

• Minimum surface area of 10 m².
• Roof must have sufficient load-bearing capacity.
• Often only for extensive green roofs (moss/sedum).

Example subsidy amounts for green roofs:

jeofferte.nl works with local partners who are aware of municipal subsidy schemes. This way you always know what you are entitled to.

3. Reduced VAT rate for insulation

When roofing is combined with insulation work on an existing home older than two years, the reduced VAT rate of 9% applies to labor costs. This is not a subsidy, but an important tax advantage.

Conditions:

• Only valid for labor costs, not for material costs.
• Valid for private homeowners (no new construction or companies).

Example savings:
With € 3,000 labor costs, you save 12% VAT, or € 360.

4. Energy Saving Loan via the National Heat Fund

When you choose financing (in addition to or instead of subsidy), the National Heat Fund offers an attractive loan with fixed, low interest rates and terms of up to 20 years. Combining a new roof with roof insulation often directly qualifies you for energy savings.

Key points:

• Borrow up to € 25,000 without a mortgage.
• For energy-saving measures.
• For homeowners with an income from approximately € 20,000 per year.

Additional favorable conditions apply to homeowners with a lower income or for Owners Associations. jeofferte.nl helps you free of charge to check your financing options.

Conclusion: save smartly when renewing your roof

Renewing roofing can be considerably cheaper by making use of available subsidies and tax benefits. Especially when you opt for a sustainable or insulating solution, the chance is high that you qualify for financial support.

Do you want to know how much subsidy you can receive in your situation? jeofferte.nl quickly puts you in contact with recognized specialists in your region who have experience with subsidy applications and sustainable roofing projects. This way you can be sure that you will not miss out on anything.

Replacing roofing is an investment that can partially pay for itself. By planning smartly and making use of subsidies and tax schemes, you can significantly reduce the total costs. jeofferte.nl is happy to advise you on this. The tips below will help you get started.

1. Combine roof replacement with insulation

If you are having your roof renewed anyway, this is the ideal time to have roof insulation installed as well. This not only saves on energy costs, but also ensures that you are eligible for the ISDE subsidy.

Advantage:
The combined execution saves double labor costs and provides a subsidy of up to € 35 per m².

2. Request multiple quotes via jeofferte.nl

The price for roofing varies considerably per contractor or roofer. By requesting multiple quotes via jeofferte.nl, you get transparent insight into market-conform rates and into the price-quality ratio.

Advantage:
Average savings of up to 30% on the total costs by comparing competitive quotes.

3. Choose durable materials with a longer lifespan

Bitumen is cheap, but EPDM or green roofs often last much longer. More expensive materials can be more advantageous in the long term due to less maintenance, longer warranty and higher residual value of the home.

Lifespan comparison:

4. Check local subsidies (green roofs)

Many municipalities offer additional subsidies for green roofs or water-buffering systems. These are often not automatically mentioned by contractors, but give you hundreds of euros in benefits.

Tip:
Get information from your municipality or have it checked by your jeofferte.nl specialist.

5. Lower your VAT by combining with insulation

When you have your roof insulated in combination with replacing the roofing, the low VAT rate of 9% applies to the labor costs. Without insulation, you pay 21% on the entire job.

Example savings:
With € 5,000 labor costs, you save € 600 in VAT if you combine with insulation.

6. Plan your project outside the peak season

Roofers are often busiest in the spring and autumn. By planning your project during quiet periods (January, February, July or August), you have a greater chance of better negotiation and discounts.

Tip:
Request quotes outside peak times for an extra sharp rate.

7. Inquire about collective purchasing campaigns (e.g. owners' associations or neighbors)

For those who are part of an owners' association or have good contact with neighbors, a joint assignment can provide significant benefits. Many roofers offer group discounts for multiple consecutive assignments in one neighborhood.

Advantage:
Savings on call-out charges, material costs and labor hours.

8. Request quotes including subsidy advice

Not all roofers are aware of the latest subsidy schemes. Therefore, choose a party that actively helps you with subsidy applications. jeofferte.nl only works with professionals who supply this as part of their quote.

Advantage:
Higher chance of maximum subsidy payment and correct processing in the quote.

In conclusion – smart investing starts with good information

Replacing a roof is custom work, but saving is always possible. By cleverly combining your project, comparing quotes and using current subsidies, you reduce the total costs and increase the value of your home or building. jeofferte.nl guides you through every step – from quote comparison to subsidy processing.
