About Roofer

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.

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.

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.

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.

Safety practices you should expect on site

Crew members should use harnesses anchored to the ridge, not just work from ladders. Ask whether the company carries workers' compensation and whether subcontractors are covered too. Falling debris can damage vehicles or injure neighbours, so request proof of liability insurance before signing any contract or deposit.

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.

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.

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.

How long a typical roof job takes

A straightforward re-tile on a semi-detached house takes 4 to 6 working days with a team of 3 people. Full strip and re-slate can reach 2 weeks. Flat roof replacement with single-ply membrane usually finishes in 2 to 3 days. Weather delays, especially heavy rain, often extend timelines.

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.
