Start from the inspection

Write the quote while the inspection is fresh. Describe what you saw ("Approximately 15 slipped or cracked tiles to rear slope, ridge mortar failing along 8m") and what you'll do about it. Customers who can't see the roof rely entirely on your description, so be specific.

Price the unknowns honestly

Roofs hide problems. You won't know the condition of the decking or rafters until the covering is off. Say what the price assumes, for example "Price assumes existing timbers are sound. Any replacement timber charged at £X per metre." Customers handle extra costs much better when the rate was agreed in advance.

Scaffold and access

Scaffold is often the largest single cost on a small roofing job. Quote it clearly and say how long it's included for. If the job overruns because of weather and the scaffold stays up longer, say whether that costs more.

Materials and finish

Name the products: "Marley Modern concrete interlocking tiles, smooth grey" or "EPDM rubber membrane, 1.2mm". For repairs, say whether you'll match existing tiles or use the closest available.

Guarantee and waste

State the guarantee period on workmanship, and any manufacturer's guarantee on materials. Include removal of old materials and the cost of a skip if needed.

Validity

The "valid until" date defaults to 30 days. Material prices and your availability change quickly in the busy season, so you may want it shorter.

Frequently asked questions

Should I charge for a roof inspection?

Many roofers inspect for free and include it in the quote. For detailed surveys, some charge a fee and deduct it if the customer goes ahead.

How do I quote for a flat roof?

Measure the area and price per square metre, then add separate lines for upstands, edge trims and outlets. List everything that's included.

What about weather delays?

Say in the terms that roofing work depends on the weather and that you'll keep the customer updated on timings.
