Scope and assessment
Match the slate work to the existing roof
Slate work needs a clear distinction between a local repair and renewing a larger area. Explain whether slates have slipped, the roof is leaking or you are comparing replacement coverings.
Illustrative material example. Suitability is assessed for your roof.
What to agree in your quotation
Discuss the existing slate, fixing condition and roof details. For renewal, ask which slate options are suitable for the property and how the proposed work will meet the existing roof edges and adjoining coverings.
Can the appearance of the existing slate be considered?
Yes. Take photographs of the roof from ground level and explain which parts of its appearance matter to you. Material suitability and the available options need to be discussed after assessment.
What affects the price?
Roof size and shape, access, the condition beneath the existing covering and the proposed finish affect the scope. Discuss scaffolding, waste removal and any provisional work before comparing quotations.
