Roofers in Malaysia: prices, licences and what to write

Roof work in Malaysia is quoted per job, from about RM 300 for a minor leak repair to RM 5,000 to RM 15,000 for a terrace house roof, and a full re-roof of a large house can reach RM 40,000 or more. The final price depends on the roof area, the material and the height of the work. The quickest way to current quotes is to describe your roof in a BlaBlaPrice request.

Licence and registration

Any contractor who builds a structure in Malaysia needs a licence from the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), and registration is mandatory for local and foreign contractors alike. Working without it can bring a fine of RM 10,000 to RM 100,000 and a stop-work order, so ask to see the CIDB registration and grade before work starts. A new registration fee is RM 50, and the SPKK certificate is renewed every 12 months for RM 30.

Rain and timing

Malaysia is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so there is no winter break for roof work. Rain in the wet season stops work and can expose a repair before it is finished, so ask how the roofer will protect the roof on rainy days. Book a full re-roof for a dry spell, and treat a leak in a storm as urgent.

Units, quotes and pay

Roofers quote per job, and metal roofing is quoted per square foot, which is the unit most listings use. Measure the roof in square metres as well, and check which unit each quote uses, so you compare like with like. If you hire workers for a site, pay, employment type and accommodation are separate items to agree in writing before work starts.

What to write in your request

Name the roofing material, the type of work (repair, replacement or a new roof), the scope and the property type, such as a terrace house, semi-D or car porch. Give the site area and say whether work at height needs scaffolding. If you are hiring workers, state the pay, employment type, work experience and whether they need accommodation.

Post your request on BlaBlaPrice and describe the roof in your own words, with a photo if it helps. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their offer and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. For finishing work, see tiler and painter.
