How it works

Clear details help roofers quote accurately and plan the right approach first time for your property.

  1. Provide a brief for the roof repair or replacement and include the roof age if known.
  2. Add photos, measurements, roof height and access notes.
  3. Review quotes for materials, timing, disposal, making good and tidy up.
  4. Agree the scope and book the work in writing.

What roofers can help with

Roofers can repair damage, replace worn coverings and advise on maintenance. This includes leak repairs, slipped tiles, damaged flashing, ridge work and flat roof patching. For full replacements, a roofer can strip the existing roof, renew the underlay and fit new materials suited to the property. Clear quotes rely on good information: roof type, pitch, size, storey height and access restrictions. Let the Roofer know if scaffolding is likely and whether there are roof windows, solar panels or chimneys. If you want to keep the same finish or change materials, say so in the brief. Include photos and describe when the issue started so the scope is understood. If you have measurements or a plan, include them. Share any preferred dates or access windows for the work.

FAQs

Is it better to repair or replace a roof when planning the work?
It depends on the age and condition of the covering. If damage is localised, a repair is often enough. If problems are widespread or recurring, a roofer may suggest partial or full replacement after inspection.
What information helps with a roofing quote?
Share the roof type, pitch and size, number of storeys, and any access limits. Photos of the affected area and any internal staining help define the scope and reduce follow up questions. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Do roofers work on flat roofs?
Many roofers do. They can repair or replace felt, EPDM or other flat roof systems, and advise on drainage and edge details. Access and the condition of the existing deck affect the approach. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
Will scaffolding be needed?
Scaffolding is common for safe access, especially on multi storey homes or larger areas. a roofer can advise after viewing the roof and will usually include access needs in the quote. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Can you replace a few damaged tiles when planning the work?
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. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
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. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
