What roofers can help with
Roofers cover repairs, maintenance and replacement work for pitched and flat roofs. Common tasks include fixing leaks, replacing damaged tiles or slates, renewing ridge tiles, patching felt, and repairing lead flashing around chimneys and valleys. Some jobs involve re-bedding, re-pointing or replacing roof sections entirely. To help a Roofer quote, share the roof material, size and pitch, the number of storeys and any access issues. Note whether scaffolding is likely, and whether there are dormers, roof windows or extensions that affect access. If gutters, fascias or edge details need attention, mention it. Photos and a brief description of when the problem began make the scope clearer. If you need like for like materials, say so. Share any preferred start dates or access limits for the crew.

FAQs
Do roofers work on flat roofs before you book?
Many roofers do. They can repair or replace felt, EPDM or other flat roof systems, and advise on drainage and edge details. Access and the condition of the existing deck affect the approach. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Will scaffolding be needed?
Scaffolding is common for safe access, especially on multi storey homes or larger areas. a roofer can advise after viewing the roof and will usually include access needs in the quote. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
Can you replace a few damaged tiles?
Yes, replacing small areas is common. a roofer will aim to match tiles or slates where possible and check the surrounding area for related issues. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
What is roof flashing and why does it matter?
Flashing seals joints around chimneys, valleys and roof edges to prevent leaks. Damaged or loose flashing is a common cause of water ingress and can usually be repaired or replaced by a roofer. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
How long does a roof repair take before you book?
Timing depends on access, the size of the repair and weather conditions. Minor fixes may be completed quickly, while larger repairs can take longer. Your Roofer should outline a realistic timeframe. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
Can roofers fix leaks around chimneys?
Yes. Leaks around chimneys are often linked to flashing or mortar issues. a roofer can assess the area and repair or replace the flashing to restore a proper seal. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
