What a roofer does
A roofer inspects the roof, finds the cause of a leak and repairs or replaces the covering. They should explain what they found and show photos.
Jobs people often ask roofers to do:
- Replacing slipped or broken tiles
- Re-roofing a house or extension
- Repairing chimney flashings
- Clearing and repairing gutters
- Fitting fascias and soffits
Before you book a roofer
- Ask about scaffolding. For anything beyond a small repair a safe access platform is the normal, safe choice.
- If bats roost in a roof they are legally protected. A roofer should stop work and get advice if they find any.
- Ask for photos before and after, especially of areas you cannot see from the ground.
- Ask whether the price includes new battens, underlay and the clearing of old materials.
