Do roofers handle gutters and edges for a bigger project?

Some do, especially if guttering or edge details affect the roof line. Ask what is included in the scope and whether any repairs are recommended. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.

How disruptive is a roof replacement?

Most work is external, but there can be noise and some disruption around access and scaffolding. Your Roofer should explain the schedule and any short periods of limited access. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.

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.
