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.

FAQs
Can you repair storm damage quickly for a small job?
Repairs can often be prioritised, but timing depends on access and the scope of damage. Provide photos and describe the problem clearly so a roofer can advise on next steps. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
What is the difference between re-roofing and replacing?
Re-roofing usually means replacing the roof covering, while replacement may involve more structural work. The terms vary, so ask the Roofer to explain the scope in plain language. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
Do you replace ridge tiles?
Yes. Loose or damaged ridge tiles are a common repair. a roofer can re-bed or replace them and check the surrounding mortar or fixings. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Is moss removal part of roofing work?
Some roofers offer cleaning or recommend it if moss is causing drainage issues. They may advise on safe methods to avoid damaging tiles or slates. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
Can a flat roof be patched for a small job?
Minor damage can sometimes be patched, but the approach depends on the material and condition. a roofer can assess whether a local repair is suitable or if a wider replacement is needed. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Will you match existing tiles or slates?
Roofers usually try to match existing materials where possible, but availability varies. If matching is difficult, the Roofer should explain options and any visual differences. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
