How it works

A clear brief helps roofers price the work properly and avoid surprises on site.

  1. Outline the job and where the issue is visible on the roof or inside, and note roof age if known.
  2. Provide roof details, pitch, size and access constraints.
  3. Review quotes and ask about materials, methods, protection and timing.
  4. Book a roofer once the scope is agreed and written down.

What roofers can help with

Roofers can take on repairs, upgrades and full re-roofing. This can include fixing leaks, replacing ridge or hip tiles, renewing leadwork, patching flat roofs and replacing damaged underlay. For older roofs, a roofer may recommend replacing the covering and checking battens, insulation and ventilation. To keep quotes accurate, describe the property type, roof shape and material, and any access obstacles such as conservatories, extensions or narrow side access. Note whether scaffolding is likely and whether there are roof windows, solar panels or chimneys to work around. If the roof is part of a loft conversion or insulation upgrade, include that in the brief. Clear photos and a short timeline of the issue help define the scope. If you need matching materials, say so to avoid mismatched finishes.
