Roof advice, from the bloke on the roof
The questions we get asked on nearly every quote, answered properly rather than in a sentence that sends you back to the phone.
None of this is written to talk you into a job. Two of these pages end with us telling you to leave the roof alone for now, because that is the honest answer more often than the trade lets on, and one of them is about how to judge a quote from anyone, us included.
If your question isn't here, ring and ask. We would rather spend five minutes on the phone than have you guess.
