FAQs
Is it safe to inspect the roof myself for your property?
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. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
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. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
Do you handle chimney repairs?
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. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
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. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Can you work around solar panels for your property?
Often yes, but it can affect access and time. Let the Roofer know about panels so they can plan safe access and avoid damage. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
Will the roof be watertight during the job?
Roofers aim to keep the property protected during work, but methods depend on the scope and weather. Ask how temporary protection will be managed for your project. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
