How to choose a roofer
Roofing involves working at height, so competence and insurance matter. Before you book, check:
- Public liability insurance and safe working-at-height practices
- Membership of a body such as the NFRC or the CompetentRoofer scheme
- Written quotes with a clear scope and any guarantee in writing
- Photos of the fault, ideally before and after
- Local references for recent roofing work
- Whether scaffolding or access equipment is included in the price

What affects the cost of roofing work?
Roofing costs depend heavily on access and the extent of the work. The main factors are:
- The size and pitch of the roof
- Whether scaffolding or a tower is required
- The materials used — tiles, slate, felt, EPDM or GRP
- How much of the roof needs replacing versus repairing
- The height of the building and ease of access
- Any associated gutter, flashing or chimney work

Be cautious of anyone offering roof work door-to-door for cash without a written quote.
