A full roof replacement is one of the largest material costs in home maintenance. Miscounting tiles or slates by even 5% can mean an expensive re-order weeks into the job when the scaffolding is already up and the supplier lead times bite. Getting the quantities right before the roofers start directly protects your budget and programme.

This project kit covers every layer of a pitched roof from structure to finish - tiles, breathable membrane, rafters and battens, lead or aluminium flashing, guttering, and soffit and fascia boarding. Use Simple mode for a straightforward rectangular roof, or switch to Detailed mode for complex properties with L-shaped or T-shaped roofs, hipped sections, dormers and chimney stacks. Each section's geometry is calculated separately then totalled for each calculator.

What this kit covers

Work through these 6 calculators in order. Your roof dimensions are pre-loaded into each one - refine the details and save each result to your project.

Roof Tile Calculator
Calculate the number of tiles or slates needed for your total roof area. For complex roofs the area is summed across all sections you entered, including a 5% cutting waste allowance.
Open calculator
Felt Membrane
Work out rolls of breathable roofing membrane for the tile underlay across the full roof area, with correct overlap allowances included.
Open calculator
Roof Pitch & Rafter Calculator
If replacing or repairing structural timbers, calculate rafter lengths, ridge board, purlins and batten quantities based on the primary roof span and pitch.
Open calculator
Flashing Calculator
Calculate lead or aluminium flashing quantities. The total includes ridge runs, hip rafter lines, valley lengths, chimney stack flashings and dormer cheeks - all calculated from your inputs.
Open calculator
Guttering Calculator
Work out guttering, downpipes, brackets and fittings for all eaves lengths across your roof sections.
Open calculator
Soffit & Fascia Calculator
Calculate soffit board and fascia lengths for replacing the full roofline at the same time as the covering.
