Read the guideUse the information to ask better questions
A guide cannot inspect a roof or decide what is safe from a photograph. What it can do is help you understand why a quotation needs more information than the size of your house. Roof shape, access, materials and hidden defects can all influence the work.
If you are comparing flat roofing options, think about the building beneath the roof as well as the membrane. A garage and a heated extension do not necessarily need the same build-up. If you are dealing with a leak, record when it happens and where water appears without climbing onto the covering.
The replacement guides set out the factors behind price and timing, without giving figures or promising a fixed number of days. This helps keep a general explanation separate from the advice your particular home needs.
