What roofers can help with
Roofers work on pitched and flat roofs, covering repairs, maintenance and full replacements. Common jobs include fixing leaks, replacing slipped or broken tiles, renewing ridge tiles, repairing flashing and leadwork, and patching worn felt or membrane. They can also replace sections of roof covering, improve ventilation and address storm damage. For larger projects, a roofer can strip and re-cover the roof, replace battens and underlay, and fit new tiles or slates. To get accurate quotes, share the roof type, age and size, the number of storeys, and any access issues such as conservatories or tight side access. Note whether scaffolding is likely and whether internal staining or damp has appeared. Photos of the affected area and close ups of the damage help define the scope.

FAQs
Do you replace ridge tiles for a bigger project?
Yes. Loose or damaged ridge tiles are a common repair. a roofer can re-bed or replace them and check the surrounding mortar or fixings. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
Is moss removal part of roofing work?
Some roofers offer cleaning or recommend it if moss is causing drainage issues. They may advise on safe methods to avoid damaging tiles or slates. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Can a flat roof be patched?
Minor damage can sometimes be patched, but the approach depends on the material and condition. a roofer can assess whether a local repair is suitable or if a wider replacement is needed. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
Will you match existing tiles or slates?
Roofers usually try to match existing materials where possible, but availability varies. If matching is difficult, the Roofer should explain options and any visual differences. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Do roofers handle gutters and edges for a bigger project?
Some do, especially if guttering or edge details affect the roof line. Ask what is included in the scope and whether any repairs are recommended. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
How disruptive is a roof replacement?
Most work is external, but there can be noise and some disruption around access and scaffolding. Your Roofer should explain the schedule and any short periods of limited access. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
