Roof repair cost by job: tiles, flashing, chimney, valley, ridge and felt
Repair prices track access and skill, not the size of the damaged area. A slipped tile reached from a roof ladder is the cheapest job on the roof. A chimney re flash is one of the dearest, because it needs a working platform and lead work that has to be right first time.
How to check a roofer is genuinely insured and trading properly
Ask for the public liability certificate showing the insurer, policy number, cover level and expiry date, then ring the insurer or broker to confirm it's live. Check the company or trading name on Companies House, verify the address independently, and never pay a large deposit in cash.
