What to know about new roofs and re-roofing
A re-roof is a substantial project. Quotes are easier to compare when they state the covering, underlay, battens, ventilation, insulation implications, roofline details, scaffolding and disposal of the old materials.
Information to include
- The property type, approximate roof dimensions and current covering.
- Known leaks, structural concerns or previous extensions.
- Whether insulation, roof windows, chimneys or solar panels are involved.
- Access constraints and any planning, conservation or neighbour considerations.
Questions to ask
- What inspection has been completed and what is included in the written scope?
- Which materials, access equipment and waste removal are included?
- What deposit and staged payments are proposed?
- Who provides any workmanship or manufacturer warranty, and on what terms?
New roofs and re-roofing FAQs
What should I compare in re-roofing quotes?
Compare the complete specification rather than the total alone: coverings, battens, membrane, ventilation, insulation, leadwork, access, waste, provisional items, payment stages and warranty terms.
Will a new roof need Building Regulations approval?
Some re-roofing work can trigger Building Regulations requirements, including thermal performance. Ask the contractor who will confirm the requirements and provide any completion documentation.
