How to tell a real roofer from a doorstep caller

Roofing attracts doorstep crime, and Kent Trading Standards puts out warnings about it every year. If someone knocks and tells you your roof needs urgent work, none of what follows is about us; it is worth knowing whoever you end up using.

Nobody legitimate knocks

A roofer with a full order book does not go door to door looking for work, and does not happen to be "working on a roof nearby with materials left over". That is a script, not a coincidence. We only ever turn up because you called us.

Get it in writing, always

A real quote is written down, itemised, and says what is being done and what it costs before anyone starts. If you are being pushed for a decision today, or asked for cash up front, that pressure is the warning sign, not the price.

Ask to see the problem

Anyone can say there are slipped tiles up there. Ask for photographs of the actual fault on your actual roof. We take them as a matter of course and send them with the quote, so you can see what you are paying to fix.

A repair beats a re-roof, usually

If the structure and most of the covering are sound, a targeted repair is the right call and a fraction of the price. Being told a whole roof needs replacing, on the spot, without a proper inspection, is the oldest one in the trade.

Not urgent? Take your time and get a second quote. A roof that has waited ten years will wait another week, and any roofer worth using will say the same.

Questions

Folkestone roofing FAQs

How much does it cost to re-roof a house in Folkestone?

How much should a roofer charge per day?

Roofer day rates in Kent typically fall between £200 and £300 per person, per day. Most jobs are quoted as a fixed price for the whole job rather than by the day, which protects you if the work takes longer than expected.
