Common mistakes
What goes wrong when hiring a roofer
Skipping the structural check
Rot or insect damage to roof timber often isn’t visible until the tiles come off. A roofer who quotes without inspecting the structure first is guessing.
Choosing a cheap membrane
Budget waterproofing membranes can fail within a single winter. Ask specifically what product is being used and its expected lifespan.
Missing the insulation opportunity
Re-roofing is the cheapest time to add insulation. Skipping it means paying to open the roof again later.
No post-work leak test
A completed roof should be checked under real or simulated rain before the job is signed off, not just visually inspected.
Not confirming heritage-zone rules upfront
Properties in historic centres can have restrictions on tile type and roof profile. Confirm this before materials are ordered.
