The right type of roofing material will depend on many factors, including climate, style, and budget. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a new roof.

Table of Contents

Choose a Material That Fits Your Budget.

A good rule of thumb is to select a material that costs less than half as much as the average cost of a new roof. This means you should avoid materials that cost more than £10 per square foot. If you’re looking at an asphalt shingle roof, for instance, you might find yourself paying between £1,000 and £2,500 per square foot.

Look at the Lifetime Cost of Maintenance.

Another thing to consider when choosing a roofing system is how easy it will be to maintain. You’ll need to make sure that the roofing system you choose has a lifetime warranty. It’s also important to think about the maintenance requirements of the roofing system. For example, some roofs require regular cleaning while others do not.

Think About the Noise Level.

If you live near an airport or busy highway, you might want to consider a quieter roofing system. However, if you live in a rural area, you might prefer a more traditional roofing system with fewer noise complaints.

Consider Other Options.

There are other options besides metal roofs and asphalt shingles. You should also consider the cost of maintenance and repair when choosing a roofing material.

Look at the Lifetime Cost of Ownership.

A good rule of thumb is to compare the lifetime cost of ownership (LCO) of different materials. This includes both the initial purchase price and ongoing costs such as repairs and replacement. If you plan to live in your house for more than 20 years, then you will likely need to replace your roof sooner rather than later.

    David and the team were exceptional. We were thrilled with our new outdoor kitchen. They certainly gave us the WOW factor. Very professional, hard working and always left the job spotlessly clean. We can strongly recommend All about Outdoor Living.

    We couldn't be happier with our installation by All About Outdoor Living. We had a very particular vision for a really awkward space that was executed perfectly. From the initial design consultation to the final finishing touches, the entire process was seamless and stress-free.Bill who led the groundworks was great to work with. With lots of challenges due to root systems, mature trees/shrubs, drainage issues and uneven ground, Bill and his team worked meticulously to lay porcelain patios, paths and turf, providing solutions for everything.David, Dale and Dean bought the whole space to life with a stunning, bespoke wooden pergola that is a structural statement in itself. And they fabricated an angled kitchen on site with water and power supply, to boldly frame and define a space where nothing is level or convenient. They were a joy to have around, and gave all the attention to detail you could want.The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the materials used are not only durable but also visually stunning. Our family and friends are truly impressed with the results and we would recommend them in an instant. Cooking and entertaining outdoors has never been this enjoyable. Thank you, All About Outdoor Living, for creating our dream outdoor kitchen space.

    If you need anything from design to help with getting your bbq fixed, this is the place to go. I can't recommend them highly enough. David is not only incredibly knowledgeable about everything Bbq's but also really helpful and professional. Don't go anywhere else!!!

    An excellent experience from start to finish. David is very experienced in terms of site position, planning, seeing potential problems and finding good cost effective solutions. Dale and Dean were a pleasure to have working on site. As a family, we love our outdoor kitchen and cannot recommend it enough. The blinds and pivoting roof makes it a useable space for all seasons. I wouldn’thesitate to recommend David and his team to anyone.

    I think sometimes, projects like this can be so overwhelming. Although, with David’s advice and wealth of knowledge, he was able to advise and help to design our outdoor kitchen which catered for all our needs and requests and all within our budget too. Thank you!

    All about outdoor living came to see me and produced some amazing ideas, after getting the quotation and drawings I was pleasantly surprised it was in my budget. The workmen who carried out the job were clean and hard working, I can highly recommend this company for doing what they say they will do. Thank you David for overseeing the project and making the whole process comfortable for me.
