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
Is it better to repair or replace a roof when planning the work?
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. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
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. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
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. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Can you replace a few damaged tiles when planning the work?
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. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
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. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
