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.
