What affects roof replacement cost in East of England

Roof Replacement costs in East of England differ from the national baseline mainly because of local labor rates. Construction-trades wages in the East of England sit about 5% below the GB mean (ONS ASHE), despite the region's proximity to London and its relatively higher overall earnings. The driest region in the UK, with low rainfall and limited Atlantic wind exposure. Moisture stress on coverings is the lowest of any GB region, though North Sea coastal areas see some wind loading.
