Always get comparative quotes
Compare any non-standard treatments with traditional methods of repair. Often damage to a roof can be superficial and can be rectified relatively cheaply using traditional methods. In other cases a re-roof may be your only option, and expensive non-traditional treatments might just be delaying the inevitable. A good roofer will be able to asses your roof and give you a break down of your options.Get a guarantee
Find out what guarantees the company offer before having any work done. A company that has faith in its work should offer you assurances that, if their system fails, it will be repaired or replaced free of charge. If possible get a guarantee that's underwritten by an insurance company, then if the company ceases trading you'll still be covered.Be wary of cold-callers
Any business that knocks on your door uninvited should be viewed with suspicion. They'll often tell you that they've been working in your area and noticed your roof needed some work. While some are legitimate you should think seriously before agreeing to have any work done. Always try and get quotes from other companies first. If you do agree there and then you should have a cooling-off period if you change your mind.Ask to see examples of their work
If their treatment does all they say it will, the company should be more than happy to show you examples of their work and, where possible, speak to those that have had work done. This will allow you to assess the quality of the workmanship for yourself. If possible check them out with any any association they may be members of.If a service seems to cheap, it probably is
Be sure to ask probing questions about what materials are being used. Remember the golden rule that if the sales pitch sounds too good to be true, it probably is.TRADECALL ROOFING SERVING CAMBERLEY AND SURROUNDING AREAS SINCE 1973
