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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
