STEP 1

What shape is your roof?

Pick the closest shape and we will calculate the rest automatically.

STEP 2

Dimensions

Enter the dimensions in metres. Approximate values are fine, use a dot or a comma for decimals.

Measure the slope length along the roof surface (from eave to ridge), not horizontally.

STEP 3

Roof covering

Not sure? Pick any, you can change it later.

STEP 4

Additional systems

This helps us prepare a more accurate quote.

For example ventilation outlets, snow guards, roof windows, screws.

RESULT

Your roof in numbers

—roof area, m²
—material incl. offcuts, m²
—sheets, pcs
Estimated material cost from — to — EUR
The price depends on the chosen metal, colour and order size. This is an estimate, not a formal quote.

Every roof is unique, and so is its cost estimate

Every roof has its own specifics, and the exact calculation of flashings (ridges, verges, eaves) and the gutter system is always made from an individual project or plan. We have built our own calculator to do the first estimate for you. In a few minutes you can work out the area and the cost of profiled sheets for your roof yourself.

How our calculator works

  • Automatically accounts for sheet sizes and layout
  • Calculates an allowance for offcuts and overlaps
  • Shows an estimated cost depending on the chosen profile

You get the result in a few minutes, which is enough to assess a project at an early stage.

Need an exact estimate?

Our managers are always ready to prepare a detailed calculation based on the data you entered or on a drawing. We will clarify every detail, the dimensions and the set of flashings, and contact you if anything needs checking.

Roof types we calculate automatically

  • Shed
  • Gable
  • Hip
  • Pyramid

For complex multi-slope roofs our experienced estimator steps in and prepares an exact calculation just for you.

Good to know

The more complex the roof, the bigger the difference between the useful area (roof dimensions) and the full area (material dimensions). On very complex roofs it can reach 40%. A calculation in specialised software keeps waste down so you do not overpay for extra material. The calculator results are approximate and cannot be used as a formal estimate or a material order.

Accessories: approximate quantities

Use these rules of thumb to estimate the full set. Our manager will calculate the exact set, including gutters and eaves.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the calculator?

The result is an estimate for the early stage of a project. For simple roofs it is close to reality, but on complex roofs the difference between roof area and material quantity can reach 40%. Request an exact calculation for a quote or an order.

How do I measure my roof correctly?

Measure the ridge along the ridge, and the slope length along the roof surface from eave to ridge, not horizontally. Approximate values in metres are enough, and you can also take them from the house plans.

Does the calculator include offcuts and overlaps?

Yes. Sheets are counted by their effective width and the material area by their full width, so the overlap is included. On hip and pyramid roofs each sheet is calculated at the length actually needed in its position.

What if my roof is complex?

For multi-slope roofs with valleys, roof windows or dormers our estimator prepares the calculation. Leave a request and, if possible, attach a drawing or the house plans.
