Old roof replacement cost – what affects it most?
Replacing an old roof is not just a matter of fitting a new covering. The greatest risks arise when rotten battens, damaged rafters, poor ventilation or defective chimney details are found beneath the old covering.
- ✓Removal of the old covering: fibre cement sheets, metal sheets, tiles and bituminous coverings differ in removal cost and the amount of waste.
- ✓Structural inspection: we assess rafters, battens, membranes, chimney areas and roof ventilation.
- ✓Choosing a new covering: metal sheets are usually more economical, tiles are heavier, and bituminous shingles require a deck.
- ✓Finishing work: flashing, soffits, rainwater drainage and roof safety components often account for a significant share of the budget.
What type of roof can we install?
Each covering has its own cost, installation requirements and weak points. That is why an estimate should account for the entire roofing system, not just the covering.
Metal roofing installation
Metal roofing is one of the most popular choices for detached houses in Vilnius because of its cost, weight, quicker installation and wide choice of colours. Correct batten installation, a ventilation gap, and ridge and bargeboard details are essential.
Flat roof installation
For flat and warm flat roofs, the most important factors are slopes, roof drains, parapets, waterproofing and proper water drainage. We work with torch-on bituminous membranes, PVC membranes and insulation solutions.
Fibre cement roof replacement
When replacing old fibre cement sheets, it is important to remove the covering safely, assess the timber structure and address roof ventilation straight away. The new covering can be metal sheets, asbestos-free fibre cement sheets, tiles or another solution suited to the roof structure.
Tiled and bituminous roofs
Roof tiles have a substantial appearance but require a stronger structure. Bituminous shingles suit more complex roof shapes, but they need a high-quality deck. With these roofs, it is especially important to pay close attention to the details.
Bituminous covering on a pitched roof is installed on a prepared deck, and the quality of fastening directly determines whether the covering stays watertight and secure through wind, rain and temperature changes.
How does roofing work proceed?
An orderly process reduces the risk of disputes. That is why we agree on the scope, price, materials, deadlines and responsibilities before work begins.

Do you need a permit to replace a roof?
Simply replacing a roof covering is often considered a minor repair, but the situation changes if the building's appearance, structure, roof shape or height is altered, or if the property is in a protected / cultural heritage area.
- ✓If only the covering is being replaced: it is often a simpler repair, but the specific situation still needs to be assessed.
- ✓If the structure is being altered: it may qualify as a major renovation or reconstruction.
- ✓If the building is in a protected area: permit and approval requirements must be checked separately.
- ✓In apartment buildings: issues involving co-owners, the building administrator and the building's status are also important.
Check before commissioning work
If you plan not only to replace the covering but also to raise the roof, change its pitch, create an attic living space, install roof windows or alter the building's exterior appearance, it is worth assessing design and permit requirements first.
Namstatyba.lt can help you assess the practical side of the work: what will actually need to be removed, what may increase the estimate and which solutions are worth planning before starting.
