House roofs
Look after the home above you.
The roof is part of the character of your house and its protection from the weather. Whether you are planning replacement work or want to discuss a problem with an existing roof, start with a clear view of what needs attention.

Understand the roof before choosing the finish.
A tiled appearance is only the visible surface. The condition of the structure, the roof edges and the connections around chimneys, walls and gutters all influence the work required.
Pitched roof work
Discuss the existing covering, the area involved and any details around ridges, valleys and chimneys. A proposed change in material needs to be considered alongside the structure and overall design.
Flat roof work
Explain the location of the roof, the existing finish and how water drains away. The covering, insulation, edges and wall connections should be considered together in the proposed work.
Access and scope
Roof height, surrounding buildings and access affect how the job is organised. Ask what is included for access equipment, removal, disposal and any internal or external finishing work.
Tell us what you have noticed.
Describe where you have seen staining, water ingress, loose material or visible wear, and whether it appears during particular weather. Photographs taken safely from the ground can help the initial conversation. A stain inside does not establish the exact cause; the roof and surrounding details need to be assessed before deciding on the right work.
Roof changes can involve structural, insulation and approval requirements. Confirm the responsibilities and any necessary approvals before work begins. Read the Planning Portal re-roofing guidance for an introduction.
Your questions, answered.
Practical answers to help you plan the next step.
Do I need a repair or a replacement roof?
That depends on the condition and extent of the problem. Age or one visible symptom alone does not establish the right solution. Discuss an assessment and ask the quotation to explain the area and work covered.
Can the roof colour or covering change?
Explain the finish you want, but suitability depends on the roof design, structure and any property restrictions. The proposed material and any related work should be confirmed before ordering.
Is guttering included in roof work?
Only if it is included in the agreed scope. Discuss the condition of the fascias, soffits and guttering so any associated work is clear in your quotation.
How is roof work priced?
Roof area, condition, materials, detailing, access and disposal requirements affect the cost. Send your postcode, photographs and a description of the work for a free quotation.
