About Roofer
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Reading a roofing estimate line by line
Ask for the estimate in writing with a breakdown. Look for separate lines for tear-off of old layers, disposal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and labour. A bid showing only a single total makes comparison hard and hides where the money goes. Materials should be named by brand and product line.
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.
