Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers to help you make the right choice for your new roof or roof repair.
Yes. Hodgson Roofing is a proud, accredited member of the NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors). This means we have undergone rigorous vetting of our technical standards, health and safety records, and financial stability to ensure we are a robust and secure business for our customers. We are also members of the LRWA and the Confederation of Roofing Contractors.
Yes, we can. Because of our NFRC accreditation, we are able to self-certify our work for Building Regulations compliance. This saves you the time, expense, and stress of having to deal with local authority building control inspections manually.
An NFRC roofer offers protection that “cowboy” or unvetted roofers cannot. We are regularly inspected on-site to ensure high standards, we hold comprehensive insurance, and we have proven our financial health. Choosing us is an investment in quality and peace of mind.
Absolutely. We provide detailed, transparent, and written quotations for every project. We don’t believe in “estimates” that change halfway through—we provide a clear breakdown of costs so you know
Yes. All our team members undergo continuous technical training to stay abreast of industry innovations. We also hold full Public Liability and Employer’s Liability insurance, protecting both your property and our staff.
Every project is unique, but a standard domestic re-roof usually takes between 5 to 10 working days, depending on the weather and the complexity of the structure. We will provide a specific timeline before work begins.
We monitor the forecast closely. We only open up sections of your roof that we can safely “felt in” or cover with high-quality waterproof sheeting before the end of the day. Your home will remain watertight throughout the process.
Yes. We have the capacity and expertise to handle everything from small residential repairs to large-scale commercial roofing projects across the region.
We work with a wide range of materials, including traditional slate, clay tiles, concrete tiles, and modern flat-roofing systems such as Felt Torch-on systems and EDPM. Get in touch if you have a Green Roof, or need advice on any other roofing materials.
Yes. All our new roofs come with a guarantee, depending on the specification of the roof, this will either be an insurance-backed warranty or a 10-year company-backed guarantee. Because we are NFRC members, you also have the added reassurance of working with a company that has been vetted for its ability to honour those guarantees long-term.
We do our best to prioritise emergency calls, such as storm damage or major leaks. If you have an urgent issue, contact our office immediately, and we will dispatch a surveyor as soon as possible.
No, as long as we have access to the roof (and a power source if required), you do not need to be at home. We pride ourselves on being tidy and respectful of your property at all times.
Yes. We handle the full removal and responsible disposal of all old materials and debris. We aim to leave your property as clean as—if not cleaner than—we found it.
Our surveyors will provide an honest assessment. If a repair is viable and cost-effective, we will recommend it. However, if the underlying structure is compromised or the tiles are at the end of their lifespan, we will explain why a replacement is the safer long-term investment.
Our lead times vary depending on the season, but we always aim to get your project scheduled as efficiently as possible. Contact us today for our current availability.
