Tips on Choosing a Roofer

​​​

Compare What Is Included in The Quote - Not Just the Price!

​

INot all quotes are equal! Here's what to look out for:

 

Ask:

• Does the quote include any required leadwork?

• Are skylight replacements included?

• Are any flat roof areas included?

• Is ventilation included where required?

• Is waste removal included?

• How long will the job take?

• How long will the scaffolding and skips be in place?

 

Newlands provide detailed, itemised, customised, fixed price quotations.

 

Our team are long established, professional and they work fast to replace or repair your roof quickly and efficiently with all scaffolding, equipment and waste removed as soon as the job is complete.

 

Newlands Roofing customers regularly comment on the level of care the Newlands Roofing team show for their properties, gardens and any neighbouring properties and this is always a priority for our team.

​

 

Guarantees - Protect Your Investment

 

Newlands guarantee the workmanship on your new roof for 10 years while materials are guaranteed (some slates upto 100 years!) for so it is key that your roofer is around to honour your guarantee.

​

Ask: 

• Are works guaranteed?

• For how long?

• Is it an insurance backed guarantee?

 

​

Storm Damage - Good to Know

​

• Even a perfectly installed roof can suffer storm damage in Glasgow.

• Roof guarantees never cover storm damage - storm damage becomes an insured event handled by your home insurance.

• Only insurance-approved roofers can manage repairs

• This is important to consider when at the point of choosing a roofer, not during a storm!

​

Ask:

• Are you insurance approved?

 

​

Trade Bodies: Why Registration Actually Matters!

 

• TrustMark and Federation of Master Builders carry out thorough checks

• Checks cover trading history, financial stability, insurance, as well as work standards on real life jobs

• You can check registration online

​

Ask:

• Are you TrustMark registered?

• Are you registered members of The Federation of Master Builders?

• How long have you been registered?
