About roofer services
Insurance and guarantees matter more here than in most trades because the failure is expensive and slow to show. Work above single storey needs scaffolding under the Work at Height Regulations, so a quote with no access cost is either incomplete or unsafe. Replacing a roof needs Building Control notification when more than a quarter of it is stripped.
