About Roofer
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
