Find a local roofer
Roofing problems rarely fix themselves and a small slipped tile can turn into damp ceilings within one wet winter. Getting several local roofers to look at the same job is the best way to tell a genuine repair from an unnecessary re-roof.
What roofers do
Roofers repair and replace pitched and flat roofs, ridge tiles, lead flashing, fascias, soffits, guttering and chimney work, and diagnose the source of leaks.
Typical roofer jobs
- Replacing slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
- Full re-roofs with new felt and battens
- Flat roof replacement in EPDM, GRP or felt
- Chimney repointing, flashing and stack removal
- Fascias, soffits and guttering replacement

- Water stains on upstairs ceilings after rain
- Tiles or debris in the garden after high winds
- Guttering overflowing or pulling away from the wall
What to include when you post the job
The more of this you give up front, the more accurate the quotes you get back.
- Take photos from the ground with a zoom rather than climbing up
- Say how many storeys and whether scaffolding access is tight
- Mention the roof type: tile, slate, flat or a mixture
- Say whether you're claiming on insurance
Questions to ask a roofer
- Is scaffolding included in the price or extra?
- Are you repairing or replacing, and why?
- What guarantee comes with the work and is it insurance backed?
- Will you dispose of the old materials?

Roofers FAQs
How much does a new roof cost in the UK?
A full re-roof on a typical three-bedroom semi usually runs from £5,000 to £12,000 including scaffolding, depending on tile type and roof pitch. Individual tile repairs are often £150–£400.
Do I need scaffolding for roof repairs?
For anything more than a very small repair, yes. Reputable roofers price scaffolding in because working at height without it is unsafe and often uninsured.
How long should a roof last?
Concrete tiles typically last 40–60 years, natural slate can exceed 80, and modern flat roof systems around 20–30 years with proper detailing.
