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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
