What roofers can help with

Roofers work on pitched and flat roofs, covering repairs, maintenance and full replacements. Common jobs include fixing leaks, replacing slipped or broken tiles, renewing ridge tiles, repairing flashing and leadwork, and patching worn felt or membrane. They can also replace sections of roof covering, improve ventilation and address storm damage. For larger projects, a roofer can strip and re-cover the roof, replace battens and underlay, and fit new tiles or slates. To get accurate quotes, share the roof type, age and size, the number of storeys, and any access issues such as conservatories or tight side access. Note whether scaffolding is likely and whether internal staining or damp has appeared. Photos of the affected area and close ups of the damage help define the scope.
