Poppy Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Have received an estimate for 13,000 Euros to completely strip 45 squ mtr existing roof and lors and replace with oak beams, trilatte and new tiles. The estimate also includes raising the stone walls by about one course of stone and building genoise along straight edges and eaves. Despite lots of effort have only been able to get one estimate so nothing to compare it with. We usually do any building work ourselves so the estimate it is a bit of a shock [geek] Would be very grateful to hear what others think? I did do a search but could only find 2005 prices.The oak beams consist of a couple along the ridge and one posh A frame type in centre of roof.

Nearly Retired (I am now) Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It's probably of not much use to you, but I am about to go ahead in Charente Maritime with re-roofing 77.4m2 of barn roman tiles. All the timber, except the beams is being renewed - €9170. Pro-rata that's €5331 for your 45m2 roof + €6669 for your Beams + Frames + Wall.

Poppy Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thank you NR your reply is a great help [:D]The cost of the Trillate which replaces the perlins, membrane,insulation,plasterboard is 3000 Euros and the repacement oak beams are 1200 Euros so estimate is looking a bit better. I am assuming that you aren't having insulation and plasterboard finish [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 You don't mention the type of tiles but I would say it sounds realistic. Are the 'Genoise' traditional or are they the precast type you see a lot these days? There is a fair bit of work in doing these the traditional way.

Poppy Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 The tiles are new style Romanes,canal plus a flat bit which looks like canal when fitted. The genoise are the precast type. The split in the estimate is 10,000 for the roofer and 3,000 for the macon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly Retired (I am now) Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Poppy,Correct - no insulation and no plasterboard as it's only a barn. We wondered about adding some sort of fancy underfelt and half regretted not doing it on the main house we had done in December. But having endured the most vicious winds and rain from the West since then and not seeing the merest drop of water come through, I'm happy we did the right thing by missing it out.

Poppy Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Many thanks for the replies, have got some comparisons now. Quote is from a very well known and respected local french builder, so I guess that's half the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
