How it works
Keep the process simple so quotes match the same scope and you can compare fairly across trades.
- Describe your roofing needs and share recent photos of the issue, plus any known repairs.

- Compare quotes and clarify what is included for access, protection and waste.
- Confirm a start date, site access and any disposal plans.
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.

FAQs
Can you repair a leaking flat roof when getting quotes?
Yes, depending on the material and extent of damage. a roofer will assess whether a local patch is suitable or if a wider replacement is more reliable. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
What should I include in a quote request?
List the roof type, size, pitch, and where the issue shows up. Add photos, access details and any signs of internal damp to help define the scope. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Is it safe to inspect the roof myself?
Working at height is risky. It is safer to describe visible issues from the ground and leave close inspection to a roofer with the right equipment. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
Can you repair roof valleys?
Yes. Valleys carry water away and can leak if damaged. a roofer can repair or replace valley lining depending on the roof type. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
Do you handle chimney repairs when getting quotes?
Many roofers handle flashing and related roof work around chimneys. Structural chimney repairs may need a specialist, but a roofer can advise once they see the issue. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
What are common causes of missing tiles?
High winds, ageing fixings and storm damage are common causes. Replacing tiles quickly helps prevent water ingress and further damage. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
