About Roofer
What can push the price up
Roof height above two storeys adds scaffolding cost. Chimney removal, skylight fitting or solar panel detachment raise labour time. Sourcing reclaimed slate or specific clay colours costs more than standard stock. Steep pitches above 45 degrees usually require extra harness setup and safety equipment.
Gutter and downspout integration with the roof
A roofing job is a good moment to check gutters and downspouts. Ask whether the quote includes new drip edge, gutter apron, and proper outlet placement. Misaligned drainage shortens shingle life and stains fascia boards. Confirm gutter cleaning or replacement is either included or quoted separately before work begins.
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.
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.
Ice, water, and weather barriers worth paying for
In cold climates a self-adhesive membrane along eaves and in valleys prevents leaks from ice dams and wind-driven rain. Synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck resists tearing during installation. These are cheap upgrades that stop the most common leak paths, so ask which layers the roofer plans to install.
What a roofer actually does
A roofer installs, repairs and replaces roofing on houses. Work covers the underlay, battens, tiles or metal sheets, flashing, ridge pieces and gutter edges. They also check timber structure, ventilation openings and insulation below the surface. Most roofers handle pitched roofs, flat roofs and roof windows.
The importance of flashing and valleys
Flashing seals joints where the roof meets walls, chimneys and dormers. Lead flashing lasts over 50 years if fitted correctly. Valleys channel high water volumes and wear out first, so check them yearly. Poorly soldered valley seams cause most leaks reported within 2 years of a new roof.
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.
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.
Ventilation and insulation checks
A healthy roof needs airflow at the eaves and ridge to prevent condensation. Ask about adding eaves vents or a dry ridge system. Check that insulation sits at the recommended 270 mm depth. Good ventilation keeps timber dry and prevents the mould growth that often follows winter heating.
