Submit plansWe are considering laying red cedar shingles on our roof and external walls in our new house. What are the cost implications of doing this?
Shingles should cost about £55 per m² for the roof, compared with £50 per m² for clay tiles and £70 for slates. For the walls, work on £45 per m² for shingles against £60 per m² for an outer leaf of facing brickwork costing £450 per thousand.
