Quantities from real geometry
Enter length, width and pitch and the roofing calculator returns area, tiles per m², batten and underlay quantities, with a waste allowance you control. Drop the figures into the quote.
Roofing quote software that prices the whole roof, not just the tiles
Roofing is priced from the ground and paid from the top. EstiMate's roofing calculator turns plan dimensions and pitch into roof area, tile count, batten metres and underlay rolls; the quote adds scaffold, skip, lead, felt and labour; and staged payments keep the cash coming while the weather does what it does.
- Full re-roofs in tile and slate
- Flat roofs — GRP, EPDM and felt
- Chimney and lead work
- Fascias, soffits and guttering
- Storm damage repairs and insurance work
- Roof windows and dormers
What a good roofer's quote needs
Priced properly, explained clearly, paid on time
Scaffold, access and waste as line items
The things clients forget are the things you can't absorb. Prelims are priced as their own lines so the total is defensible.
Photos before, during, after
Site photos on the job record protect you on insurance work and show the client what they're paying for. Progress reports compile them into a branded PDF.
Weather delays on the programme
The programme of works shows the client the plan; when rain moves it, the live dates shift while the baseline stays visible.
Where roofers lose money on quotes
- Under-measuring hips, valleys and overhangs
- No allowance for rotten timbers found once the roof is stripped
- Scaffold priced as a guess
- Insurance jobs without dated photos

Questions roofers ask
Does the roofing calculator handle pitch?
Yes. Enter the plan dimensions and pitch and it returns the true roof area, tile or slate count for your chosen tile, batten metres and underlay rolls, plus a waste percentage you can change.
How do I price for timbers I can't see yet?
Add a provisional sum or a clearly worded exclusion, then price the actual repair as a variation once the roof is stripped — the client approves it with one tap and it's added to the contract.
Can I send the quote from site?
Yes — build it on your phone, send the link by WhatsApp and the client can accept on theirs.
Can I take a deposit before ordering tiles?
Yes, by card from the quote link on the EstiMate plan and above with Stripe connected.
