About Roofer
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.
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.
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.
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.
Payment schedule that protects you
Never pay the full amount upfront. A fair schedule is a small deposit at signing, a larger payment on delivery of materials, the bulk on completion, and a final holdback released after inspection. Avoid any contractor who pressures you to pay cash, wire money, or skip the written agreement altogether.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
