4 Answers
Has anybody out there got an idea of how much a new roof costs? Obviously it depends on size and type of tiles/slates, but rough ideas would be greatly welcomed.

I don't know the size of the roof, but the house is roughly 3,000 square feet + 2-car garage; colonial style with hip roof. Timberline brand 40-year shingles in pewter gray, with the appropriate ridge vents, moisture barrier, etc., will set us back $11,900 U.S. (includes installation & debris hauling, but surprises are extra).

Can't contribute to advising on cost, but if you've got to have a new roof why not investigate installing one with either solar panels or the special tiles which are made up of fuel cells for creating electricity from sunlight.
Over the week-end it was announced that Curry's in certain selected branches around London would be selling installations for around �9,000. The reckoned that it would take between 5 - 10 years to recoup the cost in saved electricity and selling the surplus back to the National Grid. There are various grants available from local authorities for certain "renewable energy" projects so contact you local council in case you might be eligible for one if you went this route..
