Choose with confidence
Roofing work is difficult to inspect from ground level, so clear evidence and a written scope matter. Look for relevant experience and a sensible explanation of why the proposed repair addresses the problem.
Slate, tiles, flat membranes, leadwork and full replacements need different methods. Ask for recent examples that match your roof.
Ask how the work will be accessed and whether scaffolding or other equipment is required. Review insurance before substantial work starts.
The quote should explain the area being repaired, materials, access costs, waste removal and exclusions so you can compare like for like.
