Roof replacement — Roofer
Provide the roof type, approximate area, condition reports and the reason replacement is being considered. Explain whether insulation, rooflights, gutters or internal repairs should be included. Ask the contractor to compare complete build-ups and details rather than only the visible covering material.
Service scope
Renewal of a roof covering and the specifically included supporting layers and details. The service distinguishes full strip-and-renew work from an assessed overlay, and defines insulation, drainage, roof openings and structural repairs rather than treating replacement as one unspecified product swap.
What is normally included
- Renewal of the agreed roof system
- Specified edge and penetration details
- Planned waste removal and handover
What is not included
- Hidden structural repairs assumed in the covering price
- Overlay suitability without an assessment
Typical tasks
- Survey the existing roof
- Define retained and replaced layers
- Plan safe access and weather protection
- Install the specified roof system
- Record inspections, details and handover information
What to include in your brief
- Roof plan or dimensions
- Existing-system and condition records
- Access and occupancy constraints
- Insulation and roof-opening requirements
- Desired covering and completion scope
Choosing the right professional
Compare quotations against the same layer-by-layer specification. Confirm how temporary weather protection, disposal, details and concealed damage are addressed, and separate a manufacturer’s product terms from any contractor workmanship commitment.
Important considerations
- Underlying deterioration may be revealed during removal
- Uncoordinated changes to layers can affect moisture management
