YOUR ROOF REPAIR & REPLACEMENT QUOTE

Roof repair & replacement: what to check before accepting a quote

A roofing quote needs to explain both the visible work and what happens if hidden damage is found.

01

Repair or replacement

Record the area, covering material and whether the work is a repair, overlay or full strip and replacement. Ask for the survey findings supporting the proposal.

02

Scaffolding and weather protection

Confirm access costs, scaffolding duration, waste removal and temporary weather protection. Record responsibility for damage to the home or neighbouring property.

03

Hidden timber or structural damage

Agree how damage will be evidenced, priced and approved before extra work begins. Record the applicable completion documents and separate workmanship and materials guarantees.

These are points to clarify, not findings about your quotation or installer. Your report is prepared from your answers; we do not inspect your written quote or property.

Turn the questions into a useful record.

Choose the report, the agreement or both for the same job.
