What the badges actually mean
The accreditations that matter for roofers, in plain English.
National Federation of Roofing Contractors
The main roofing trade body. Members are vetted on technical competence, health and safety, and financial standing.
TrustMark registered
The only government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home. Covers trading standards as well as technical competence.
CHAS accredited
Health and safety pre-qualification. Matters most on structural work and anything involving scaffolding.
Which? Trusted Traders
Assessed by Which? on customer service and business practice, including a credit check and reference calls.
Before you get quotes
Work out the budget and the paperwork first. It changes the conversation you have with the firm.
Roof replacement cost in 2026: prices by house type and material
2026 re-roof prices for terraced, semi-detached and detached houses and bungalows, by covering and roof area, with scaffolding, extras, timescales and the rules in each UK nation.
Flat roof replacement cost in 2026: felt, EPDM and GRP compared
Fitted 2026 prices per m² for felt, EPDM and GRP flat roofs, what a garage or extension roof costs, the extras a quote can leave out, and the rules in each UK nation.
Types of roof: UK roof shapes and coverings explained
How to recognise a gable, hipped, mansard, flat or lean-to roof, what each means for loft space, which coverings suit which pitch and at what price, and the rules for changing one.
Roof leak: what to do now, common causes and repair costs
What to do in the first hour of a roof leak, how to tell it from condensation or a burst pipe, the common causes, 2026 repair prices and what home insurance covers.
Roofers: common questions
How long should a new roof last?
Concrete tiles 40 to 60 years, natural slate 80 to 100, felt flat roofing 15 to 20, EPDM rubber 30 plus. Ask which is being quoted, because the price gap between felt and EPDM is small and the lifespan gap is not.
Should I ever use a roofer who knocks on the door?
No. Unsolicited doorstep roofing is the single most common home improvement scam in the UK. A legitimate firm has a verifiable address, an NFRC or TrustMark number you can check, and no reason to need a decision today.
