If your property in Lagos has ageing or faulty roof venting for your furnace or HVAC system, planning and understanding the replacement cost for a roof vent in Lagos is key. Efficient roof ventilation supports proper exhaust of furnace or HVAC emissions, maintains indoor air quality, and protects your property asset.
Replacing a roof vent (for a furnace or HVAC exhaust) typically includes:
Removing the old vent and flashing or boot
Inspecting roof structure around vent area for rot or damage
Installing a new vent cap/flashing suited for the system (exhaust hood, turbine vent, ridge vent, etc)
Sealing and weather‑proofing the connection (flashing, sealant, roofing membranes)
Ensuring compliance with ventilation, safety and roof integrity standards
In Lagos, the cost can vary significantly based on:
Type of vent and material quality – metal vs plastic, turbine vs static cap
Roof access and height – multi‑storey or difficult access increases labour cost
Extent of roof repair needed (if the old vent caused roof water ingress or decay)
Branding, importation of parts, and local labour rates
Time of intervention – emergency replacements cost more
While specific published cost figures for Lagos are hard to locate, general roofing repair costs start from upward of millions of Naira for full roof jobs. JECCL+1
Based on typical repair and replacement projects in Nigeria and Lagos in particular:
Minor roof vent replacement (simple roof access, minimal roof repair) — likely in the range of ₦80,000 – ₦200,000
More complex replacements (higher roof, additional roof structure repair, premium vent materials) — could rise to ₦200,000 – ₦500,000+
If major roof work is needed (e.g., replacing decking, flashings, or extensive damage) the total cost can escalate significantly upward.
Secure multiple quotes from reputable contractors and compare what’s included (parts, warranty, access, roof repair).
Ensure the quote clearly lists the vent specification, labour cost, roof access requirements, and any roof repair scope.
Check the contractor has roofing licence/credentials, good reviews, and bases the quote on inspection.
Factor in contingency for unexpected roof structural issues—add ~10‑20% to budget to cover surprises.
Consider scheduling during dry seasons when labour is less disrupted by rain and cost may be lower.
Keep documentation of the replacement (photos before & after, warranty) — useful for property value and future maintenance.
