Every answer here starts with the answer. The first lines tell you yes, no or it depends, and on what. The rest of the page explains why, describes what to check on your own roof, and says when the job needs a roofer rather than a ladder and a free afternoon.

Where a question touches on safety, such as working at height, asbestos cement sheets or a ceiling holding water, the answer says plainly when to stop and call someone. Where it touches on Building Regulations or planning, it gives the official position and points you to your council rather than guessing at your circumstances.

If your question is not covered, ask us. Ring 01256 213956 or send a photo on WhatsApp, and we will tell you what we think is going on. For a fuller treatment of a subject, the guides go into more depth, and every answer links to the service it belongs to.
