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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Site protection and clean-up standards
Roofing is messy and dangerous. Confirm the crew will protect driveways, gardens, and walls with tarps and plywood. A magnetic sweep for nails should happen every working day, not only at the end. Ask where the dumpster will sit, who pulls the permit, and how the property is left at close of each day.
