What moves this figure

Scaffolding
The biggest hidden swingMany roofing jobs — full re-roofs, chimney work, and anything at height — need scaffolding for safe access.
Scaffolding is one of the biggest hidden swings in a roofing quote. In the sourced data above, chimney leadwork roughly doubles in cost once scaffold is needed (£350–£460 without vs £700–£920 with). There isn't a reliable standalone figure for scaffolding on its own — it depends on your property's height, access and how long it needs to stay up — so always ask whether a quote includes it or adds it separately.
