Roofing guides

These guides are for the stage before you ring anyone, or the stage after you have a quote in your hand and want to know whether it makes sense. Each one takes a single subject, such as a flat roof membrane, a chimney stack or a re-roof, and goes through the materials, the common faults, the methods used to fix them and the regulations that can apply.

Prices quoted in the guides are typical UK ranges from published cost guides, never our own price list. The regulation sections stick to what the Planning Portal and other official sources say and point you to your council or building control body for anything specific to your house.

Each guide sits under the service it relates to, so you can move straight from reading about a problem to seeing how we deal with it. If you have one quick question rather than time for a long read, the answers section is shorter and more direct. When you would rather someone just looked at the roof, book a free survey.
