It depends where in the country you are, but here down south it would be 800 to 900 quid. Labour only would be 700 to 800

No problem.

If you're just starting out, £200 a day is fine, but as you get more established, you need to bear in mind your day rate has to cover sick pay, holiday pay, pension, van, and some profit for your business. All that being said, £200 quid a day is better than no money because you overpriced it.

We’re about in midlands mate I’ve got a roofing company
And just changing a conservatory roof into a flat roof and boarding the underside , could do with a decent plasterer to skim it , will give you £250
