How it works
Use a simple process to keep roofing quotes clear, accurate and easy to compare.
- Share the problem, roof material, size, pitch and property height.

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
How long does a roof replacement take before work starts?
Timing depends on roof size, complexity and weather. Some projects take a few days, while larger or more complex roofs can take longer. a roofer should provide an estimated schedule once the scope is agreed.
Do I need building control for roof work?
Some larger changes may need building control approval, while like for like repairs often do not. Rules vary, so it is sensible to discuss the scope with your Roofer and check local requirements if needed.
Can you repair a leaking flat roof?
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. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
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. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
Is it safe to inspect the roof myself before work starts?
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. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
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. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
