Pitched Roofs enquiries
Tile, slate and pitched roof repair, replacement and new roof enquiries.
Say whether you need a small repair, a new covering or wider re-roofing. Tiles, slate, flashings, underlay and structure may need different work.
Start your roofing enquiryYour brief
Useful details to have ready
- Describe existing tiles, slate, metal or other covering if known. A different material can change roof weight and approval needs.
- Note valleys, ridges, chimneys, rooflights, dormers and gutters, plus any planned insulation or solar work.
- Approximate the affected area but let the contractor confirm measurements and condition on site.
- The job postcode and when you would like the work done
You can start without every answer. Only take photos where it is safe to do so; do not climb onto a roof for an enquiry.
One brief, a clear next step
- Tell us about the job. Your draft is saved in this browser as you go.
- Review before sending. Edit the details and confirm the enquiry. Your completion link keeps later answers with the same case.
- Find a suitable supplier. Beffer checks service fit and coverage. Availability, a quote and any site visit must be confirmed by the supplier.
What a survey should resolve
- Is the issue limited to coverings or are battens, underlay, rafters or ventilation affected?
- Will a proposed material change alter weight, fire performance or building-control requirements?
- How will access, weather protection and adjoining roof details be managed?
Cost factors and exclusions
- Roof size and pitch, scaffold, coverings, structural repair, insulation, flashings and disposal affect the work.
- Ask whether chimney, gutter, rooflight, interior making-good and concealed timber repairs are priced or excluded.
Before you enquire
Can I swap slate for tiles without other work?
A covering change can alter roof weight and may need structural checks or building-regulation approval. The contractor should assess the specific roof.
Is insulation part of re-roofing?
It may be required or sensible depending on the extent of work and the building. Ask for the insulation scope and any approval requirements in writing.
Does an enquiry commit me to the work?
No. Submitting an enquiry starts the discussion. Check the supplier's scope, price, exclusions and terms before accepting a quote.
