How it works
Follow a few steps to keep roofing quotes comparable and well scoped for your roof and overall property.

- Include photos and notes on access or scaffolding needs.
- Compare quotes and confirm what is included for disposal, protection and tidy up.
- Choose a roofer and schedule the work.
What roofers can help with
Roofers can take on repairs, upgrades and full re-roofing. This can include fixing leaks, replacing ridge or hip tiles, renewing leadwork, patching flat roofs and replacing damaged underlay. For older roofs, a roofer may recommend replacing the covering and checking battens, insulation and ventilation. To keep quotes accurate, describe the property type, roof shape and material, and any access obstacles such as conservatories, extensions or narrow side access. Note whether scaffolding is likely and whether there are roof windows, solar panels or chimneys to work around. If the roof is part of a loft conversion or insulation upgrade, include that in the brief. Clear photos and a short timeline of the issue help define the scope. If you need matching materials, say so to avoid mismatched finishes.

FAQs
What services do roofers offer?
They cover roof repairs, maintenance and replacement work for pitched and flat roofs. Common tasks include fixing leaks, replacing broken tiles or slates, renewing ridge tiles, repairing flashing and leadwork, and patching flat roof membranes. They can also advise on re-roofing when coverings are worn.
How do I know if I need a roof repair?
Signs include slipped or missing tiles, damp patches on ceilings, water staining on walls, or visible damage after storms. a roofer can inspect the roof and explain whether a localised repair is likely to solve the issue.
Is it better to repair or replace a roof?
It depends on the age and condition of the covering. If damage is localised, a repair is often enough. If problems are widespread or recurring, a roofer may suggest partial or full replacement after inspection.
What information helps with a roofing quote?
Share the roof type, pitch and size, number of storeys, and any access limits. Photos of the affected area and any internal staining help define the scope and reduce follow up questions. Photos and measurements can help the Roofer give clearer guidance.
Do roofers work on flat roofs?
Many roofers do. They can repair or replace felt, EPDM or other flat roof systems, and advise on drainage and edge details. Access and the condition of the existing deck affect the approach. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Will scaffolding be needed?
Scaffolding is common for safe access, especially on multi storey homes or larger areas. a roofer can advise after viewing the roof and will usually include access needs in the quote. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Roofer can plan the right approach.
