Get Free Roofing Quotes from Local Contractors
GetRoofingQuotes.co.uk helps UK homeowners find independent local roofing contractors for replacement, removal and roofline projects. Complete one online form and you may receive quotes from up to four roofing businesses that cover your area.
The service is free to use and there is no obligation to accept any quotation. You can explain what work you need, hear from suitable contractors and compare their prices, proposed materials and timescales before making a decision.
Whether you need to replace a leaking flat roof, remove an unused chimney or arrange a complete new roof, requesting several quotations can give you a clearer understanding of the likely cost and the options available.
How to Get Your Free Roofing Quotes
Requesting quotations through GetRoofingQuotes.co.uk only takes a few minutes. Providing clear information about the property and the proposed work will help us identify contractors who may be suitable for your project.
Step 1: Describe Your Roofing Project
Start by completing the online form on this page. Tell us which roofing service you need, where the property is located and when you would ideally like the work to begin.
You may also be asked for information about the property, such as whether it is a house, bungalow, garage, conservatory or outbuilding. Where possible, explain the current condition of the roof and any problems you have noticed.
For example, you could mention recurring leaks, cracked roofing felt, broken tiles, rotten fascia boards or damaged asbestos cement sheets. You should also say whether you are looking for a repair, a complete replacement or professional advice or guide about the best solution.
The more useful detail you provide, the easier it will be to match the enquiry with contractors who carry out that type of work.
Step 2: Hear from Local Roofing Contractors
After you submit the form, we will attempt to match your enquiry with up to four suitable independent roofing contractors who serve your postcode area.
Available contractors may contact you by telephone, text message or email. They may ask for more information about the roof, request photographs or arrange a visit to inspect the property.
Most substantial roofing projects require an on-site survey before the contractor can provide an accurate quotation. During the visit, the roofer can assess access, measurements, existing materials and any additional work that may be required.
Response times vary, so we cannot guarantee that every contractor will contact you within a fixed period. Availability will depend on the service, your location and how busy local roofers are at the time.
Step 3: Compare Your Roofing Quotes
Once you receive your quotations, compare more than the final price. Check what work each roofer intends to carry out, which materials they will use and whether scaffolding, waste removal and finishing work are included.
You should ask each contractor to provide a written quotation. A clear quote should describe the work, materials, total price, payment terms, expected start date and estimated completion time.
It is also sensible to check the contractor's public liability insurance, recent customer references and any workmanship or product guarantees offered.
You remain free to accept one of the quotations, choose another contractor or decide not to proceed. GetRoofingQuotes.co.uk does not select a roofer on your behalf.
What Roofing Work Can I Get Quotes For?
Our network includes contractors who carry out a range of roofing and roofline projects. The main services available through GetRoofingQuotes.co.uk include the following.
Flat Roof Replacement Quotes
You can request quotes to replace flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers, porches and outbuildings. Common replacement materials include torch-on felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and liquid-applied roofing systems.
A flat roof quote may include removing the existing covering, inspecting or renewing the timber deck, installing insulation and fitting the new waterproof membrane. Contractors should also consider drainage, roof edges, outlets and flashing around adjoining walls.
New Roof Replacement Quotes
A complete pitched roof replacement may be required when an older roof has widespread damage, repeated leaks or a failed underlay. The work usually involves removing the current tiles or slates, fitting new underlay and battens, and installing a new roof covering.
Quotes may also include scaffolding, replacement leadwork, ridge tiles, valleys, ventilation and repairs to damaged roof timbers.
Conservatory Roof Replacement Quotes
Replacing an old glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof can improve insulation and make the room more comfortable throughout the year. Available systems may include lightweight tiled roofs, insulated panels and modern glazing.
A suitable contractor should inspect the existing conservatory and check whether the frames can support the proposed roof. The quotation should also explain the insulation, ventilation and internal finish included.
Fascia and Soffit Replacement Quotes
Fascia and soffit replacement can protect the roof edge and improve the appearance of a property. Contractors may offer uPVC, aluminium or timber roofline systems, often alongside new gutters and downpipes.
A full replacement should normally involve removing the existing boards and checking the condition of the timber behind them. Simply covering rotten wood may hide the problem rather than solve it.
Asbestos Roof Removal Quotes
Older garages, sheds and outbuildings may have asbestos cement roofing sheets. If these sheets need to be removed, the contractor must follow the correct safety, handling, transport and disposal procedures.
The requirements will depend on the exact asbestos material, its condition and how the work will be completed. Some higher-risk asbestos work requires a licensed contractor, while other asbestos cement removal may be completed as non-licensed work by appropriately trained contractors following the relevant rules.
Homeowners should not break, drill, cut or sand suspected asbestos roofing. A contractor may recommend testing the material before preparing a removal and replacement quote.
Chimney Removal Quotes
You can request quotes for removing a redundant or damaged chimney stack above the roofline. This usually involves taking down the brickwork, closing the opening and reinstating matching tiles or slates.
Removing a chimney breast inside the property is a more substantial structural project. Depending on the building, the work may require structural calculations, Building Regulations approval and a party wall agreement.
Why Should I Compare Roofing Quotes?
Roofing prices can vary considerably between contractors. Labour costs, materials, access, scaffolding and waste removal can all affect the final quotation.
Two roofers may also recommend different ways of completing the same project. For example, one contractor may propose repairing sections of a flat roof, while another may recommend replacing the whole covering because it has reached the end of its practical life.
Comparing quotations allows you to look at the full specification rather than choosing based on price alone. A cheaper quote may exclude scaffolding, insulation, timber repairs or disposal costs that another contractor has included.
Several quotes can also help you spot unusually high or low prices. However, the lowest quotation does not always represent the best value. Experience, communication, references, insurance and guarantees should form part of your decision.
What Information Should I Include?
Give as much practical information as you can when completing the form. Useful details may include:
- The type of property and approximate number of storeys
- The roofing service you need
- The location and postcode of the property
- The type of roof covering currently in place
- Any leaks, visible damage or recurring problems
- The approximate size or dimensions of the roof
- Whether access or parking may be restricted
- When you would like the work to begin
- Whether you own the property or manage it for someone else
You do not need to know every technical detail. A roofing contractor can inspect the property and advise what work may be required.
What Should a Roofing Quote Include?
Before appointing a contractor, ask for a written quotation that clearly explains the proposed work. It should include enough information for you to compare it properly with other quotes.
Depending on the project, a detailed roofing quotation may cover:
- Removal of the existing roof covering
- The type and specification of new materials
- Scaffolding or access equipment
- Roof decking, underlay, battens or timber repairs
- Insulation and ventilation
- Leadwork, flashing, valleys and roof edges
- Guttering, fascias and soffits where applicable
- Waste removal and disposal fees
- Labour and VAT, where applicable
- The expected start date and project duration
- Payment terms and deposit requirements
- Workmanship and material guarantees
Ask the contractor how unexpected problems will be handled. For example, rotten roof decking or damaged timbers may only become visible after the existing covering has been removed.
Check Insurance and References
Contractors joining our network may be asked to provide suitable business information, insurance details and customer references. However, you should always complete your own checks before allowing work to begin.
Ask to see a current public liability insurance certificate and make sure the cover is suitable for the type and value of the project. You may also want to confirm whether the contractor has employers' liability insurance when they employ staff.
Look at recent reviews and ask for examples of similar projects. For larger roof replacements, consider requesting contact details for a previous customer who can provide a reference.
You should also confirm who will complete the work. Some roofing companies use employees, while others may use subcontractors for parts of the project.
Is the Quote-Matching Service Really Free?
Yes. GetRoofingQuotes.co.uk is free for homeowners, landlords, property buyers and property managers who want to request roofing quotations.
There is no fee for completing the enquiry form and no subscription. You will not need to pay GetRoofingQuotes.co.uk or Leads Do Work Ltd for introducing you to roofing contractors.
Contractors may pay Leads Do Work Ltd to receive suitable customer enquiries. This commercial arrangement allows us to provide the matching service without charging the person requesting quotes.
Am I Obliged to Accept a Quote?
No. You are under no obligation to accept any quotation, arrange a survey or appoint a contractor.
You can compare the proposed work and decide whether any of the available options suit your property and budget. You may also ask contractors to clarify or revise their quotations before you make a decision.
If you choose to proceed, your agreement will be directly with the independent roofing contractor. GetRoofingQuotes.co.uk and Leads Do Work Ltd do not carry out the work or enter into the contract on your behalf.

Yes. Homeowners can submit an enquiry and compare roofing quotations without paying a fee. There is no subscription and no obligation to proceed.
How many roofing quotes can I receive?
We may share your enquiry with up to four suitable independent roofing contractors. The exact number will depend on local coverage, the type of roofing work and contractor availability.
How quickly will a roofer contact me?
Some contractors may respond soon after receiving your enquiry, while others may take longer. Response times depend on current workloads, location and the type of project.
Will the contractors provide a price over the phone?
A roofer may be able to give you an approximate price range after discussing the project. However, most replacement and removal jobs require an on-site survey before an accurate written quotation can be prepared.
Do I need to accept the cheapest quotation?
No. You can choose any contractor or decide not to proceed. Compare the full specification, materials, experience, insurance, references and guarantees rather than looking only at the final price.
Are the roofing contractors employed by GetRoofingQuotes.co.uk?
No. The contractors operate as independent businesses. They set their own prices and remain responsible for their inspections, advice, quotations and workmanship.
Can I request quotes for an emergency roof repair?
You can describe an urgent roofing problem in the form, although contractor availability cannot be guaranteed. If water is entering the property or materials appear unsafe, take reasonable steps to protect the area and avoid climbing onto the roof yourself.
Can landlords and property managers use the service?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, property buyers and property managers can use the service to request quotations for residential roofing projects.
Can I upload photographs of the roof?
If the enquiry form allows photographs, clear images may help contractors understand the project. However, photographs will not usually replace an on-site inspection for larger or more complicated work.
Do I need planning permission for roofing work?
Many straightforward roof replacement projects do not require a planning application, although Building Regulations or other permissions may still apply. Listed buildings, conservation areas, chimney removal and structural alterations may involve additional requirements. A suitable contractor or local authority can advise based on your property.
