About Roofer
Documentation to keep after the job ends
Ask for a written invoice listing materials, quantities, and labour, plus photos of the deck before underlayment goes down. Keep the warranty papers, the shingle batch numbers, and the roofer's contact details in one folder. If you sell the home, this paperwork reassures buyers and protects the remaining warranty.
When to call a roofer
Call a roofer when you see water stains on ceilings, loose tiles after wind, granules in gutters, rusted flashing or daylight through the loft. Sagging rooflines or moss thick enough to lift tiles also need attention. Small leaks grow into timber rot within weeks, so quick action matters.
Understanding the quote structure
A proper quote breaks down labour, materials, scaffolding, waste removal and VAT. Watch for vague line items like roof repair lump sums. Ask whether timber replacement, new flashing and ridge mortar are included. A quotation valid for 30 days lets you compare offers fairly between contractors.
Spotting hidden damage early
Ask the roofer to photograph any rotten battens or felt discovered after stripping. Soft spots in sarking board often appear only once tiles come off. Replace damaged felt sections at the same time, since leaving old felt guarantees future condensation issues under the new covering.
Warranty and after-service expectations
Reputable roofers offer a workmanship warranty of 5 to 10 years. Manufacturer warranties on tiles or membranes run 20 to 30 years. Keep the job photos and material data sheets. Schedule a roof check every 2 years and after storms above 50 km/h wind speed to catch loose ridge tiles.
Roof decking and what it means for the budget
If the contractor finds rotten plywood once the old shingles come off, the price rises. Replacement sheathing is usually billed per 4 by 8 foot sheet. Ask in advance how many sheets are likely to need swapping and what the unit cost is, so a surprise does not derail the project halfway through.
Skylights, chimneys, and other roof penetrations
Every pipe, vent, or chimney that breaks through the roof is a potential leak point. Ask how the roofer will flash each one: step flashing for chimneys, lead boots for plumbing vents, and purpose-made kits for skylights. Old sealant is not flashing, and reusing corroded metal invites water inside within 2 seasons.
Seasonal timing and weather windows
Most asphalt shingles need temperatures above 4 degrees Celsius to seal properly. Spring through early autumn is the busy season, so booking 4 to 8 weeks ahead is common. Off-season work may cost less, but cold or wet days will be cancelled, which can stretch a 3 day job into 2 weeks.
Annual checks that extend roof life
Once a year, walk the perimeter with binoculars and look for lifted shingles, rusted flashing, and granules in the gutters. After major storms, check the attic for damp insulation or daylight through the deck. Small repairs caught early cost a fraction of what a full replacement demands after years of neglect.
Asking about licences and insurance
Ask for public liability insurance with a minimum cover of 1 million currency units. Request proof of training or trade certification in roofing. Confirm workers are covered for working at height. A written quotation showing registration details protects you if damage or injury occurs during the job.
