Three different things get called 'the warranty', and they protect against three different failures.
Most domestic re-roofs are shorter than people expect, but the calendar time is longer than the working time because of access and weather.
Nobody should be talked into a re-roof they don't need, and nobody should keep paying for patch repairs on a roof that has run out of life. Here is how we decide.
Roofing attracts doorstep selling because the customer can't see the work. These are the checks that actually reduce the risk.
A proper quote states the scope in detail, the materials by name and grade, access and scaffolding, waste removal, what happens if hidden timber damage is found, the guarantee, the payment schedule and a clear list of exclusions.
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.
