Roofers in Dumfries: Renters vs homeowners

Who’s responsible for roof repairs depends on whether you rent or own your home:

Homeowners – You’re usually responsible for arranging and paying for roof repairs or replacements. If you’re in a leasehold property, check whether the freeholder covers external repairs. Mortgage providers may also ask for proof of roof condition in surveys.

Renters – In Dumfries, landlords are responsible for keeping the property wind- and watertight. If you spot a roof leak or damage, report it straight away. They’ll normally arrange a roofing contractor in Dumfries to fix it. Renters should avoid booking roofers directly unless agreed with their landlord.
