About Roofer
Comparing common roofing materials
Concrete tiles last 30 to 50 years and cost less than slate. Clay tiles reach 60 to 100 years with stable colour. Fibre cement slates weigh less and mimic natural slate at a lower price. Metal sheets or zinc standing seam roofs resist wind and last over 40 years with proper coating.
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.
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.
Common scams and how to avoid them
Beware of door-to-door roofers claiming storm damage only they can fix. Never pay the full amount upfront; a 30 percent deposit is standard. Avoid cash deals with no written agreement. Verify the company address and check online reviews from at least 6 months ago before signing anything.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
