What jobs can roofers help with?

Roofing qualifications and insurance — why they matter

Checkatrade’s ‘The State of Trust in Trades’ report exposed roofing as the most complained-about and least-trusted trade.

Unfortunately, it's often difficult or costly for consumers to check whether roofing work really needs doing, or has been done correctly.

This is one of the reasons we've developed Drone Surveys by Checkatrade — the aim being to remove the need for manual surveys and reduce the cost of roof inspections by up to 75%.

But what else can you do to protect yourself from rogue roofing services?

• Look for relevant qualifications and accreditations

• Check for membership of trade bodies such as the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC)

• Ask for proof of public liability insurance and check it's up-to-date

• Enquire whether a warranty is offered on roofing work

• Always source a few competitive quotes to ensure you're getting a fair price

In addition, look out for these roofing red flags...

• Be wary of high availability, being able to start "straight away"

• Be careful of cheap quotes, if it sounds too good to be true, there's a good chance it is

• Beware of being asked for full payment upfront

• Never accept work from trades who doorstep

How to verify a roofer's credentials

With all this in mind, here are some simple ways to check your chosen contractor's details:

• Look them up on the NFRC database

• Check if they're part of a Roofing Competent Person Scheme (RCPS, also known as CompetentRoofer)

• Ask whether they have RoofCERT accreditation

• Search on GOV.UK for their VAT details

• View their Checkatrade profile to see qualifications, accreditations, and real reviews from past customers

How much do roofers charge in the UK?

On average, the hourly rate for a roofer in the UK is around £35–£45 per hour.

However, this rate can go up or down depending on the roofer's level of skill.

It also depends on the size, complexity, and location of the job. For example, London roofers are a *touch* pricier!

Average roofing costs for some of the most popular jobs:

• Roof repair cost – £110–£160 per m²

• Roof replacement cost– £8,000

• Cost of re-felting a roof – £50 per m²

• Roof installation cost – £160–£275 for supply and fit per m²

• Roof shingling cost – £72.50 per m² for slate shingles

• Green roof cost – £130 per m² for an 'intensive' green roof

For larger roofing jobs, such as installing a new roof or replacing an old one, the cost can range from £1,500 to £12,000+. Again, this depends on the size of your roof and the materials used.

That's why it's important you ask for multiple quotes from different roofers before making a decision, as this can help you get a better idea of the average cost in your area.
