Roof batten prices vary depending on what size batten you need and what type of batten you need. Opting for C24 battens is going to be more expensive than C16 as they’re a higher-grade batten for external and commercial building use. Choosing the correct roof batten to support the load of your roof or structure is very important, but there’s room to save cost by comparing prices across different merchants. We’ve put together a comprehensive list of roof batten prices and roof board prices for you to compare. Don’t forget, buying in bulk is a great way to get a further discount.

OSB board prices
Installers mainly use OSB3 board in structural applications as it’s suited to humid conditions. Because it is moisture-resistant, tradespeople often use it in timber frame houses, underneath flooring finishes, in caravans and as wall sheathing for stud walls. The strength and durability (as it’s knot-free and void-free) of OSB board are great advantages in all of these applications. It’s available in square edge or tongue and groove.
| Roof Board | Ex. VAT Price From |
| OSB3 9mm board price | £20.42 |
| OSB3 18mm board price | £24.98 |
Loft board prices
Loft board is a useful product for creating reliable floor space in your loft. Homeowners typically don’t insulate lofts used for storage, so accessing them can be risky because the attic floor isn’t always fully supported. Installing inexpensive loft boards across the floor makes the space more usable. It could be the starting point of a value-adding loft conversion too!
| Roof board | Ex. VAT Price From |
| Chipboard price | £10.94 |
| OSB3 price | £20.42 |
