    Why are roofers expensive?

    Roofing is skilled work that involves risk, precision, and physical labour. You’re paying for:

    • Experience and training
    • Specialist tools and safety gear
    • High-quality materials
    • Insurance and compliance

    That said, prices vary – so it’s always worth comparing quotes. Don’t go for the cheapest option without understanding what’s included.

  • What qualifications or certifications should a roofer have?

    When hiring a roofer in Carlisle, look for the following qualifications and certifications:

    • CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card – A mandatory requirement for working on construction sites in the UK
    • NVQ Level 2 in Roofing – Typically recognised as the industry standard qualification for a roofer to show a solid understanding of roofing principles and practices
    • CHAS certificate – Demonstrates a knowledge and understanding of health and safety standards
    • Membership of professional bodies – Popular accreditations in the UK include the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) and the Confederation of Roofing Contractors (CORC)

    In addition to qualifications and accreditations, it’s also worth considering the following when hiring a roofer working locally in Carlisle:

    • Experience – Look for a roofer with several years of experience, particularly in your local area
    • Insurance – Only ever hire tradespeople with adequate public liability insurance to protect you in case of accidents or damage
    • Positive customer reviews – You want to hire a roofer who has plenty of positive customer reviews from previous jobs

    By doing your homework and checking the credentials of individual roofers, you can be more confident you’re hiring the right roofer for the job.

  • What insurance should a roofer have?

    A key part of hiring a roofer in Carlisle is making sure they have the appropriate insurance to cover them and their work.

    At a minimum, your roofer should have:

    • Public liability insurance – This covers the roofer against any associated legal costs if a member of the public is injured by their work
    • Employers’ liability insurance – This is a legal requirement for any roofer who employs other workers who will be working on-site

    Your roofer may also have various other types of insurance cover, including:

    • Tools insurance to protect their tools and equipment from damage or theft
    • Personal accident insurance to cover themselves against any injuries they suffer on-site
    • Professional indemnity insurance to protect them against legal costs associated with a customer claiming that their work was not up to standard

    Before you hire, ask to see valid insurance documents. Any reputable roofer will be happy to show you.

  • Do roofers offer guarantees or warranties on their work?

    You’ll find that most reputable roofers in the UK will offer a guarantee or warranty on their work.

    A roofer’s guarantee will typically cover both the materials they use and their workmanship.

    When choosing a roofer to hire, always ask them if they offer a guarantee and, if so, details about what it covers. You’ll want to consider:

    • Length of warranty – Roofing warranties commonly range from 5 to 25 years
    • Coverage – Ask for details that specify exactly what the warranty covers, such as material defects, faulty workmanship, or leaks
    • Insurance-backed guarantees – These provide you with additional protection, especially if the roofing company goes out of business

    Offering a guarantee or warranty is often a sign that the roofer is dedicated to their craft and responsible for the quality of their work.

    By choosing a reputable roofer and understanding the details of their warranty, you can have peace of mind knowing that your roof is protected.

  • Do roofers in Carlisle offer free quotes?

    Yes, most do. In fact, a free quote is generally a standard part of hiring a roofer. This usually involves a site visit so they can properly assess what needs doing. You should receive a written breakdown of the costs, materials, and timeframe.

    Let us do the legwork by using our request a quote tool to get multiple quotes from roofers in Carlisle.

  • Do roofers work in all weather?

    Generally, yes, but safety comes first. Roofers working in Carlisle are typically prepared to work in all weather conditions – within reason.

    Light rain or wind usually isn’t a problem, especially for experienced roofers. But heavy rain, strong winds or icy conditions can delay the work.

    Good roofers will plan around the forecast and let you know if timings need to change. They may also use waterproof covers or temporary fixes to protect your home if the weather turns mid-project.

  • Is it worth repairing a roof or should I replace it?

    If your roof is damaged, it’s worth considering whether it can be repaired or needs replacing.

    Here are some of the factors that can affect the roofing job needed:

    • Age - If your roof is over 20-25 years old, it might be more cost-effective to replace it
    • Damage - Minor leaks or a few broken tiles are usually repairable. Widespread or recurring problems might mean a full replacement
    • Cost - Repairs are cheaper short-term, but may add up if you’re constantly patching issues. A new roof can offer better energy efficiency and peace of mind
    • Structural integrity – If the roof damage has affected the underlying structure then a full roof replacement might be needed

    The best way to understand whether your roof can be repaired or needs to be replaced is to speak with roofers working in your local area.

    They will be able to assess your roof’s condition and the extent of the damage and offer advice on the best course of action.

    They're typically referred to simply as "roofers" or “roofing contractors.” Depending on specialism, you might hear terms like “slater,” “tiler,” or “flat roofer.”
