How it works
Use a simple process to keep roofing quotes clear, accurate and easy to compare.
- Share the problem, roof material, size, pitch and property height.

- Compare quotes and confirm what is included for access, disposal and making good.
- Confirm timing, site access and any quiet hours before work starts.
What roofers can help with
Roofers deal with repairs, maintenance and replacement on pitched and flat roofs. Typical jobs include sealing leaks, replacing tiles or slates, renewing ridge lines, fixing leadwork and patching flat roof membranes. For a full re-roof, a roofer can strip the old covering, check the structure and fit new underlay and tiles. Accurate quotes depend on roof type, size, pitch and access details such as scaffolding or limited side access. Note any roof windows, chimneys or extensions. If you want to keep the same finish or change to a different material, mention it in the brief. Photos and a brief timeline of the problem help define the scope. If scaffolding or a skip will be needed, mention it. Share any preferred dates or access limits.

FAQs
Can you replace a few damaged tiles for a typical home?
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. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
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. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
How long does a roof repair take?
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. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
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. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
Do I need to be at home during the work for a typical home?
It helps to be present at the start to confirm the scope and access. For most external work, the Roofer can continue without you once access and safety arrangements are agreed. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Will the work be weather dependent?
Yes. Many roofing tasks rely on dry conditions for safe access and secure materials. Your Roofer will advise on scheduling and may need to adjust dates if conditions are unsafe. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
