Choosing a roofer is easier when you know what to check before anyone starts work. The goal is to confirm competence, insurance, clarity and local accountability.

Check insurance and business details

Ask for public liability insurance, company details and a clear point of contact. A legitimate roofing company should not hesitate to explain who you are dealing with.

Look for specific local experience

Surrey has everything from 1930s semis to large clay-tile homes and period properties. A roofer who understands local roof types can diagnose problems more accurately.

Compare quote detail, not just price

A low price can hide missing scaffold, cheaper materials or vague scope. Ask exactly what is included and how variations will be handled.
