What to know about roof repairs
A visible damp patch does not always sit directly below the roof defect. A useful repair quotation should identify the likely cause, the area to be opened or replaced and what happens if further damage is uncovered.
Information to include
- The position and pattern of any damp, staining or daylight.
- Visible tile, ridge, valley, flashing or membrane damage.
- Previous repairs and whether the problem has returned.
- Safe photographs of the roof and the affected interior.
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?
Roof repairs FAQs
Can a roofer quote for a leak from photographs?
Photographs help with initial matching, but many leaks require an on-site inspection because water can travel before it appears indoors. Confirm whether an estimate is provisional until the roof is inspected.
What should a roof repair quote describe?
It should identify the area being repaired, materials, access arrangements, waste removal, price and any assumptions or exclusions. Ask how additional hidden damage would be approved and charged.
