Why do roofing quotes vary so much?
Usually what is underneath. A cheap re-roof often means reusing old battens and felt, which is where roofs fail. We itemise everything so you can see exactly what is included.
Do you charge for quotes or surveys?
No. We survey the roof properly and give you a written itemised quote free of charge. We do not price from the pavement and we do not pressure sell.
