FAQs
Do roofers work on flat roofs before you book?

Will scaffolding be needed?

Can you replace a few damaged tiles?
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. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.

How long does a roof repair take before you book?
Timing depends on access, the size of the repair and weather conditions. Minor fixes may be completed quickly, while larger repairs can take longer. Your Roofer should outline a realistic timeframe. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
Can roofers fix leaks around chimneys?
