Listed roofing sheet prices
Each row below comes from a seller’s own product page, read on 12 November 2026. Roofing sheets are not among the products Kitovu stocks, so the table holds no Kitovu price. ALAF is the manufacturer selling through its online shop; Jenga is a retailer.

Per sheet, the listed prices checked on 12/11/2026 run from TZS 31,960.23 for ALAF’s 30-gauge sheets to TZS 45,252 for the Lodhia 28-gauge sheet; per metre, from TZS 17,600 for ALAF Maxcover to TZS 22,159.08 for Romantile in matte. Neither seller’s page says whether VAT is included. Prices are for the colours shown on each linked page.
Per sheet, per metre and per square metre
The two sellers price in different units, so comparing the cost of roofing sheets needs a common one. Our calculations from the table:
- Per metre of length. The Lodhia 28G sheet is 3.0 m long, so it costs about TZS 15,084 per metre (45,252 ÷ 3). ALAF’s Maxcover is TZS 17,600 per metre and its tile profiles about TZS 21,600–22,200 per metre.
- Per square metre of roof. Maxcover covers 1,015 mm of width per metre of length, so it comes to about TZS 17,340 per m² (17,600 ÷ 1.015). For ALAF’s per-sheet items the page gives no sheet length, so a square-metre price would need that length from the seller.
Price per square metre covered is the fairer comparison, because the cover width differs between profiles: ALAF gives 762 mm for Resincot and 1,015 mm for Maxcover.
Why one roofing sheet costs more than another
The table itself shows what moves the cost of a sheet:
- Gauge. At ALAF a 28-gauge Resincot or Covermax sheet costs about 37% more than a 30-gauge one (43,749.99 ÷ 31,960.23). ALAF’s Resincot page gives 0.32 mm thickness for 28 gauge — the lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel. The roofing sheets page explains gauges in full.
- Profile. Tile-profile sheets that imitate roof tiles cost more per metre than box profile at ALAF: TZS 21,590.91 against TZS 17,600.
- Finish. Romantile in matte costs TZS 568 more per metre than in gloss (22,159.08 − 21,590.91).
- Region. ALAF’s shop asks for a region — Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Iringa, Mbeya, Mwanza or Pwani — before ordering; the prices above are those shown before a region is chosen.
Accessories add to the bill: ridges, valleys and flashings are priced separately; see ridge caps.
How to get a roofing sheet quote
To get prices you can compare, give each seller the same details:
- Profile: corrugated, box or tile.
- Gauge (28 or 30) and coating: plain or coloured, gloss or matte.
- Length of each sheet, and how many sheets — or the roof plan in metres.
- Colour, if coloured sheets are wanted.
- Whether VAT, transport and ridges are in the price.
The maker behind most of the table is profiled on the ALAF roofing sheets page; other material prices are collected under building material prices.
