Repair or replace a roof?

A diagnosis should lead the decision, rather than the age of the roof alone.

What to do

  1. Ask for photographs of the defect and surrounding roof.
  2. Compare the likely life of a repair with the wider roof condition.
  3. Get separate written scopes if both options remain viable.

Put it into your brief

Record the location and history of the problem, previous repairs and what you can see safely. Ask for the condition of the wider roof to be separated from the immediate defect.

Make the comparison useful

If repair and replacement are both proposed, request two distinct scopes. Compare what each option solves, what may remain, the likely disruption and the written warranty terms.
