What to Check Before You Hire

Replacing a roof covering can need building regulations approval. A roofer registered with a government authorised competent person scheme, CompetentRoofer or NAPIT, can certify the work for you, and you should receive a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate. Get written quotes from at least three roofers, check their public liability insurance, ask what guarantee comes with the job, and never agree to a deposit of more than 25%. Our guide to choosing a roofing company has a full checklist.

What Roofers Charge in Lewes

Scaffolding is extra where it is needed. Prices rise over time, so compare written quotes. Our guide to roof repair costs goes into more detail.

What is the best way to find a good roofer in Lewes?

Start with roofers who have a high Google rating from a large number of reviews and who work on your type of roof. Ask two or three of them for references and a written quote for the same work, check their insurance, and choose the one who explains clearly what needs doing and why.

How can you tell a dodgy roofer?

Warning signs include a roofer who only accepts cash, wants the whole price up front, will not give references, only gives a mobile number or quotes far below everyone else. Get written quotes from at least three roofers, check any scheme or trade body membership with that body, and expect a written quote with a breakdown of the work and materials.

How much does a roofer charge per day?

National cost guides put roofers at about £200 to £275 a day, or £30 to £45 an hour, with scaffolding extra where it is needed. Small repairs, such as replacing 5 to 10 broken tiles, typically cost £150 to £350. Prices rise over time, so compare written quotes.

What should I do if my roof is leaking?

Catch the water in a container, move anything valuable from underneath and do not go onto the roof yourself. If water is near lights or sockets, switch off the electricity at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so, and have a registered electrician check it before you use it again. Then call a roofer and tell your insurer what has happened. National cost guides put an emergency call out at an extra £100 to £300. Prices rise over time, so compare written quotes where you can.

Does home insurance cover a leaking roof?

It depends on the cause and your policy. Buildings insurance usually covers damage from a storm, but many policies exclude wear and tear and gradual deterioration, and a claim is unlikely to succeed if the roof was already in a poor state of repair and the storm only highlighted it. Photos of the damage help. If a claim is turned down, complain to the insurer first, and if you are unhappy with its final response, or have not had one within 8 weeks, you can take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service for free within 6 months of the final response.
