Factors Impacting Roof Tiling Costs
The average installation cost for roof tiles in South Africa ranges from R90 to R180 per square metre. Costs depend on:
- The Location of the roof
- The type of roof tiles
- The weight of the tiles per square meter
- Roofing contractor rates in your area
- The size and pitch of your roof, along with any access difficulties
Concrete tiles are durable and cost-effective from R10.00 per tile. Clay or Terracotta tiles are more expensive starting from R14.00 per tile, and typically have the same installation costs as concrete tiles. Slate tile prices and installation costs are higher and need to be estimated on-site.
Roof Tile Prices for different-sized roofs
For a small house (100 sqm roof): approx. 1000 tiles at R10.00 each = R10,000 + R20/sqm for ridges and valleys and sundries + labour (R90-R180/sqm) = R21,000+.
For a medium house (200 sqm roof): approx. 2000 tiles at R10.00 each = R18,000 + R20/sqm for ridges and valleys and sundries + labour (R90-R180/sqm) = R42,000+.
For a large house (300 sqm roof): approx. 3000 tiles at R10.00 each = R27,000 + R20/sqm for ridges and valleys and sundries + labour (R90-R180/sqm) = R63,000+.
These prices are at the low end of the spectrum and will increase depending on the region and complexity of the roofing project.
When estimating your roof’s size, consider a 100 square metre house: the roof area could be 110 square metres with a shallow pitch, or it could double with a very steep pitch. The best way to determine the number of square metres of tiles needed is to look at your house’s building plans. If unavailable, a professional roofer can make accurate calculations.
