Question 1

What should a roofing quote include?

Accepted Answer

A professional roofing quote should itemise: old roof removal, breathable membrane, battens, tile/slate supply and fitting, ridge and hip work, flashing, scaffolding, skip hire, and a guarantee period. Lump sum roofing quotes scare customers.

Question 2

How do I quote for scaffolding?

Accepted Answer

Either include scaffolding as a line item with the hire cost, or note it as 'scaffolding included' in your quote. Customers appreciate transparency about this significant cost rather than discovering it later.

Question 3

Should I offer a guarantee on roofing work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mention your guarantee period (typically 10-20 years for a full re-roof) in the quote. It's a major selling point. QuoteFlow lets you add guarantee terms to your quote footer.
