Checking a roofer's credentials

Roofing is largely self-regulated in the UK, so look for membership of a recognised trade body such as the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) or the Confederation of Roofing Contractors, both of which set workmanship standards. TrustMark, the government-endorsed quality scheme, lists vetted tradespeople, and a competent roofer should carry public liability insurance and offer a written guarantee on new roofs. For work at height, contractors should follow Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance and use proper scaffolding or access equipment rather than ladders alone.

Getting quotes and planning the work

Ask for a written, itemised quote that specifies materials, labour, access arrangements and how waste will be removed, and compare at least two or three roofers before committing. A roof survey should identify the cause of any leak rather than only treating the symptom, and reputable firms will explain whether a repair or full re-roof is more sensible. Most routine roofing does not need planning permission or building regulations approval, though changes to structure, insulation or a listed building can, so confirm with Milton Keynes City Council if you are unsure.

How long should a new roof last?

It depends on the covering. Concrete and clay tiles commonly last 40 to 60 years or more, natural slate can exceed 80 years, and flat roof systems such as EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass typically last 20 to 30 years. Lifespan is affected by workmanship, ventilation and how well the roof is maintained, so ask about the manufacturer and installation guarantee.

Should I be concerned about roofers who knock on the door offering work?

Be cautious with unsolicited callers who claim to have spotted a problem and pressure you into immediate work, as this is a common tactic. Take time to get independent quotes, check the business is listed with a recognised trade body and has insurance, and avoid paying large sums in cash up front. A reputable roofer will provide a written quote and let you make an unhurried decision.
