Find the right roof package
Try roofing, roof repairs and waterproofing as separate searches. Roof work may be included in wider building refurbishment. Read the material specification, areas, drainage details and any responsibility for the existing structure.
Assess the site before pricing
Check scaffolding, lifting, occupied areas and protection from water ingress. Review survey information and the treatment of unknown conditions. Include waste handling and any specialist removal obligations expressly stated in the documents.
Plan completion and warranties
Match the programme to access and weather risks. Read inspection, testing, warranty and maintenance requirements. Where a framework covers multiple properties, check the call-off process and avoid treating its estimated total value as guaranteed work.
Your quick checklist
- Are surveys and quantities sufficient?
- Who provides access and temporary protection?
- How are unknown conditions handled?
- What inspections and warranties are required?
