They also handle storm damage and routine maintenance such as checking for loose fittings. If a full re-roof is needed, a roofer can strip the old covering, renew felt and battens and fit new tiles or slates. For an accurate quote, include roof type, age, pitch, storey height and access details. Mention any interior staining and provide photos of problem areas where possible. If access is limited or there are fragile areas, include that detail. If you want a like for like match or a change of material, say so up front.
