How it works
Clear details help roofers quote accurately and plan the right approach first time for your property.

- Review quotes for materials, timing, disposal, making good and tidy up.
- Agree the scope and book the work in writing.
What roofers can help with
From small fixes to full replacements, roofers handle a wide range of roofing tasks. Typical work includes repairing leaks, replacing broken tiles or slates, re-bedding ridge tiles, fixing flashing around chimneys and valleys, and repairing flat roof membranes. Some projects involve stripping the existing covering, renewing felt and battens, and fitting new materials. Quotes are clearer when you share the roof type, pitch, size and the number of storeys, plus any access limits. Let the Roofer know if the issue is confined to a small area or spread across the roof. If you want to keep the same material or change to another, include that in the brief. Mention roof windows, solar panels or chimneys so access can be planned. Photos help define the scope. If access is limited or scaffolding is required, mention it so setup time is included.

FAQs
What services do roofers offer?
They cover roof repairs, maintenance and replacement work for pitched and flat roofs. Common tasks include fixing leaks, replacing broken tiles or slates, renewing ridge tiles, repairing flashing and leadwork, and patching flat roof membranes. They can also advise on re-roofing when coverings are worn.
How do I know if I need a roof repair?
Signs include slipped or missing tiles, damp patches on ceilings, water staining on walls, or visible damage after storms. a roofer can inspect the roof and explain whether a localised repair is likely to solve the issue.
Is it better to repair or replace a roof?
It depends on the age and condition of the covering. If damage is localised, a repair is often enough. If problems are widespread or recurring, a roofer may suggest partial or full replacement after inspection.
What information helps with a roofing quote?
Share the roof type, pitch and size, number of storeys, and any access limits. Photos of the affected area and any internal staining help define the scope and reduce follow up questions. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
Do roofers work on flat roofs?
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. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
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. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
