What should I consider when hiring a roofer?

It’s really important that you choose a reliable roofing company to carry out work on your roof. Failing to do this can result in unnecessary stress and expensive repairs.   

Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your roofers: 

1. Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects  

2. Have all the necessary licenses, insurance and warranties needed to protect you and their workers 

3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability and professionalism  

4. Are offering the roofing services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it to be completed by 

5. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other roofing companies  

A roofer is more likely to respond quickly – especially to emergency roofing needs – as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help.
