Frequently Asked Questions
-
How Do I Choose The Right Roofing Contractor?
Look for contractors with proper licensing, insurance and local references from recent projects. Check they provide written estimates, handle building regulations where required and offer warranties. Local contractors understand regional weather conditions and building requirements better than out-of-area companies.
-
What Should Be Included In A Roofing Estimate?
A comprehensive estimate should detail all materials, labour costs, disposal fees and completion timeframes. It should specify manufacturer brands, warranty terms and any additional work like guttering or insulation upgrades. The estimate should also clarify whether building control applications are included where required.
-
How Long Do Different Roofing Materials Last?
Natural slate can last over 100 years with proper maintenance, whilst quality clay tiles typically provide 60-80 years of service. Modern concrete tiles last 30-50 years, EPDM flat roofing offers 25-30 years and fibreglass roofing can last 30 plus years. Regular maintenance extends all material lifespans significantly.
-
Do I Need Planning Permission For Roof Work?
Most roof repairs and like-for-like replacements don't require planning permission, but re-roofing work needs building regulations approval as it affects thermal performance. Listed buildings and conservation areas have additional restrictions. We handle all regulatory requirements as registered LABC contractors.
-
When Is The Best Time To Replace My Roof?
Spring and autumn offer optimal weather conditions for roofing work, avoiding winter storms and summer's extreme temperatures. However, emergency repairs shouldn't wait for ideal conditions. We provide temporary protection during adverse weather and can work year-round when necessary.
