ROOFING BASICS
Advice to help you get organised, understand what things cost and find a reliable Roofer.
GOOD TO KNOW
Most roofers who work on homes also cover garages, outbuildings and small extensions, but larger commercial flat-roof work (warehouses, larger extensions) sometimes needs a roofer with specific experience in bigger membrane systems. Worth asking directly if your job is unusually large or non-standard.
QUALITY & GUARANTEES
Ask for photos of the completed work (roofers can see angles you can't from the ground) and keep any guarantee paperwork with your house documents. It's worth a visual check from the ground after the first heavy rain to confirm guttering is draining properly.
USEFUL TO KNOW
A leaning or spalling (crumbling brick) chimney is a structural safety issue, not just cosmetic — some roofers handle chimney repointing and rebuilding themselves, others work alongside a bricklayer. If the chimney is still in use for a flue, check whether it needs to stay swept and functional during the work.
INSURANCE & COVER
Thatched roofing is its own specialism, not something a general roofer typically covers — thatch has different fire safety, insurance and maintenance considerations (including regular ridge and ongoing coating work) compared to tiled or slated roofs.
WORKMANSHIP STANDARDS
A roof's age and condition is a common point buyers' surveyors flag, and recent re-roofing work with a guarantee and paperwork can be a genuine selling point. Keep any invoices, guarantees and photos from roofing work done during your ownership.
COST & QUOTES
Scaffolding is frequently quoted separately from the roofing work itself, priced by roof height, access and how long it's needed. For a small repair some roofers use a tower or ladder instead, but anything involving a full re-roof or significant chimney work usually needs full scaffolding for safety and building regulations reasons.
WORTH KNOWING
Listed building consent is often required to change roofing material (even like-for-like sometimes needs approval if the material is being sourced differently), and conservation areas can restrict visible changes like skylights on street-facing roof slopes. Check with your local planning authority before committing to a material change.
WORTH KNOWING
Adding a skylight to an existing roof means cutting into the structure and properly flashing around the new opening — a common source of future leaks if not done to the window manufacturer's fitting instructions exactly. Existing roof pitch and rafter spacing affect what size window can go where.

Roofs across Annochie’s AB41 area often include traditional materials on older properties and a range of modern roof systems on newer rural homes, with many roofs meeting stone or agricultural walls. Period roofs can require slate or clay tile matching and expert lead‑work, particularly where chimneys and flashing meet stone walls, while contemporary outbuildings and extensions commonly use felt, EPDM or GRP flat‑roof systems.
Roofers working in Aberdeenshire should be prepared for scaffold logistics on narrow rural lanes and the need to protect adjacent solid‑wall fabric. Membership of NFRC or the Competent Roofer scheme is a sign of competence and helps with insurance and workmanship guarantees. When procuring a roofer, ask for experience with slate matching and lead repairs on similar properties, check for NFRC/Competent Roofer registration, and confirm their plan for scaffold access and waste management on rural sites.
