How to find a roofer near you
-
Describe the job
Write down what needs doing, with photos if you can, so every quote covers the same work.
-
Get three quotes

-
Check before you hire
Compare prices, check insurance and registrations, and ask to see recent work.
Before you hire a roofer
Roof work happens where you can't easily see it, so choose your roofer carefully.
- Ask whether the quote includes scaffolding, which can add several hundred pounds.
- Look for membership of a trade body such as the NFRC or the Confederation of Roofing Contractors.
- Ask for an insurance-backed guarantee on new roofs and larger repairs.
- Be cautious of anyone who knocks on your door saying your roof needs urgent work.
Roofer FAQs
How much does a roof repair cost?
Replacing a few tiles usually costs £150-£400. Larger repairs depend on access, since scaffolding can add several hundred pounds. A full re-roof on a 3 bed semi is typically £7,000-£14,000.
Is roof damage covered by home insurance?
Sudden storm damage is often covered. Gradual wear and tear, and damage from poor maintenance, usually is not. Check your policy and take photos before any repairs.
How long does a roof last?
Concrete tiles typically last 50 years or more and natural slate can last over 100. Felt flat roofs last around 10 to 20 years, while EPDM and GRP can last 25 years or longer.
Can a roofer repair a roof in the rain?
A roofer can make a temporary repair or tarp a roof in bad weather. Permanent repairs need dry conditions to be done properly.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Usually not for like-for-like replacement. Listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to the roof shape may need consent, so check with your council.
