Start with the property
For older properties, confirm the existing covering and the condition of flashings and roof timbers. Ask how replacement materials will match the building.
Questions for a clearer brief
- Which existing materials need matching or careful reuse?
- Are flashing and timber conditions included in the survey?
A postcode helps Bark find relevant professionals. Explain the roof type, visible symptoms, approximate size and timing. Photograph only what you can see safely from the ground or inside the building.
Compare written proposals
Ask what was inspected, what is included and how access, waste and possible hidden defects will be handled. The number of responses depends on local availability and your request.
