Most roof problems start small: a slipped slate, cracked mortar on the ridge, or a gutter that overflows every time it rains. Caught early, these are usually quick repairs. Left through a wet winter, they can let water into the loft, ceilings and walls, and the bill grows.
Trade Pilot helps you find a roofer near you without phoning round. Describe the job once, and up to 3 vetted roofers who cover your postcode can quote. Reviews on Trade Pilot are tied to real, invoiced jobs, so you’re reading about work that was actually done and paid for.
Photos help roofers quote accurately. You can often see the problem from the ground or through a loft hatch: slipped tiles, damp patches on the ceiling, daylight through the roof or water stains on rafters. Don’t climb onto the roof yourself. Say what type of roof you have, such as tiles, slate or a flat roof on an extension, and whether the house has one, two or three storeys.
Scaffolding is often the biggest single cost on a roofing job, so check each quote says whether it’s included and how long it will be up. Ask the roofer to send photos of the problem from the roof, and for bigger jobs, what materials they’ll use and what guarantee comes with the work. If you live in a conservation area or a listed building, check with your council before changing the roof covering.
Autumn is a good time to have gutters cleared and the roof checked, before winter storms find the weak spots.

Small repairs, like replacing a few slipped tiles, are often a few hundred pounds. Scaffolding, chimney work and larger areas push the price up. Compare quotes for your job, and check whether scaffolding is included.
Not always. Some small repairs can be done safely from a ladder or roof ladder, but many jobs, especially on two- and three-storey houses and around chimneys, need scaffolding. Your roofer will tell you which it is.
Traditional felt often lasts 15 to 20 years. Rubber (EPDM) and fibreglass roofs can last longer if they’re well installed.
Usually not, if you use similar materials. In a conservation area, on a listed building, or where a council has added extra planning controls, changing the roof covering may need permission. Check with your council first.
