What to check before you hire a roofer

A written quote

It should cover materials, labour, scaffolding, waste removal, timings and VAT.

Insurance

Ask to see public liability insurance. Employers must also hold employers' liability insurance.

The guarantee

Ask what it covers, how long it lasts and whether it is insurance-backed.

Building Regulations

Ask how the work will be signed off, by building control or through a competent person scheme.

Scheme registration

Check any scheme they mention on its own register, for example the NFRC Competent Person Scheme.

Payment terms

Be wary of paying the full price upfront. Agree any deposit and stage payments in writing.
