Roof Repairs enquiries

Enquiries for roof leaks, damaged tiles or slates, flashing repairs and storm damage.

Describe what you can see and when the problem appears. The visible leak may be away from the entry point, so a roofer may need to inspect before proposing a repair.

Start your roofing enquiry

Your brief

Useful details to have ready

  • State whether the roof is pitched or flat, and whether tiles, slate, felt, membrane or another covering is visible. Unknown material is fine.
  • Note slipped or broken coverings, flashing, gutters, rooflights, chimney junctions, storm damage and any interior staining.
  • Take photos only from a safe place. Do not climb onto the roof or disturb suspected fragile material.
  • 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

  1. Tell us about the job. Your draft is saved in this browser as you go.
  2. Review before sending. Edit the details and confirm the enquiry. Your completion link keeps later answers with the same case.
  3. 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

  • Where does water appear, under what weather conditions and how long has it been happening?
  • Is the issue isolated or does the wider covering, deck, insulation or structure need attention?
  • What access, temporary protection and follow-up inspection will be needed?

Cost factors and exclusions

  • Access equipment, investigative work, concealed damage, replacement materials and the extent of making good affect scope.
  • Ask what is included for temporary weatherproofing, internal damage, waste, repeat visits and any guarantee.

Before you enquire

Can I request an emergency callout?

You can explain the urgency, but response time and supplier availability must be confirmed. If there is immediate danger, keep clear and seek urgent local help.

Can a photo establish the repair price?

A photo can help triage, but water can travel and damage may be hidden. A site inspection may be needed before scope and price are agreed.

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.
