Choose someone with experience of your roof type and ask for evidence supporting the repair. Compare the same covering, access and repair scope.
Key checks for roofer
- Review photographs or findings safely from ground level.
- Confirm weather protection and waste.
- Read repair and material warranty terms.
Review the defect without going onto the roof
Ask for photographs or a written explanation of the fault and proposed repair. Compare candidates with experience of the roof covering and building type. A recommendation for replacement should explain why a local repair is insufficient, rather than being accepted without evidence.
Check the complete repair specification
Identify coverings, flashing, access and weather protection, then confirm waste and finishing. Read the warranty scope and distinguish workmanship from product terms. Keep the survey findings and approved changes so any later leak can be discussed against the work actually commissioned.
Before you book or buy
