How it works

Use a simple process to keep roofing quotes clear, accurate and easy to compare.

  1. Share the problem, roof material, size, pitch and property height.
  2. Include photos of damage, leaks or worn sections and note when it started.
  3. Compare quotes and confirm what is included for access, disposal and making good.
  4. Confirm timing, site access and any quiet hours before work starts.

What roofers can help with

Roofing work often starts with a repair but can lead to wider replacement if the covering is worn. Roofers can fix leaks, replace broken tiles or slates, repair flashing, patch flat roofs and renew ridge tiles. They can also take on full re-roofing, including new felt, battens and tiles. To receive accurate quotes, describe the roof style and material, property height and any access obstacles. Mention whether internal damp has appeared and whether the issue is localised or spread across the roof. If you have measurements, plans or sketches, include them to support the quote. Photos of the affected area help a roofer plan materials and labour. If you need matching materials, mention it in the brief. Share any preferred dates or access windows.
