Before you book a roofer

There’s no licence, so check memberships. Roofers don’t need a licence. Look for membership of a trade body such as the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), or TrustMark, the government-endorsed quality scheme, and check them on those websites rather than trusting a logo.
A new roof may need Building Regulations approval. Replacing the covering on more than about a quarter of a roof normally does. A roofer registered with a competent person scheme, such as CompetentRoofer, can sign it off; otherwise building control at the council has to be told.
Get written quotes. Ask two or three roofers to quote in writing for the same job, and check whether scaffolding, skips and clearing up are included.
Don’t pay a lot up front. A small deposit can be fair for materials, but be wary of anyone wanting most of the money before the work is done.
Be wary of cold callers. Trading Standards warn about people who knock and say your roof needs urgent work. Don’t agree anything on the doorstep; get it looked at by a roofer you’ve chosen.
Listed building or conservation area? Check with the council before work starts, as changing the roof’s materials or look may need permission.

Questions people ask

Do roofers need a licence?

No. There’s no compulsory licence or register for roofers in the UK, so anyone can trade as one. Membership of a trade body such as the NFRC, or of TrustMark, means a firm has been vetted; check its membership on the body’s own website.

Does re-roofing need Building Regulations approval?

Usually, if you’re replacing the covering on more than 25% of the roof, because the roof then has to meet today’s insulation standards. Small repairs usually don’t. A roofer registered with a competent person scheme can certify the work; otherwise building control must be told.

Someone knocked and said my roof needs urgent work. What should I do?

Don’t agree to anything or pay on the doorstep. Get a roofer you’ve found yourself to look at it. If you do sign a contract at home, you usually have 14 days to cancel. You can report a doorstep trader to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223 1133.
