How it works

What roofers can help with

From small fixes to full replacements, roofers handle a wide range of roofing tasks. Typical work includes repairing leaks, replacing broken tiles or slates, re-bedding ridge tiles, fixing flashing around chimneys and valleys, and repairing flat roof membranes. Some projects involve stripping the existing covering, renewing felt and battens, and fitting new materials. Quotes are clearer when you share the roof type, pitch, size and the number of storeys, plus any access limits. Let the Roofer know if the issue is confined to a small area or spread across the roof. If you want to keep the same material or change to another, include that in the brief. Mention roof windows, solar panels or chimneys so access can be planned. Photos help define the scope. If access is limited or scaffolding is required, mention it so setup time is included.

Is moss removal part of roofing work?

Can a flat roof be patched for a small job?

Will you match existing tiles or slates?
