Start with the problem, not a product
Short answer
A new roof is more than the visible slate, tile or membrane. The assessment should cover the supporting deck, water-shedding layers, ventilation, junctions, drainage and safe access needed to complete the work.
Fixings or covering are failing across the slope
The deck or sarking has widespread damage
A flat roof has broad cracking, movement or repeated leaks

What matters on a new roofs job
These visual checks show the covering, fixings and water route that may affect the work. Your own roof still needs to be assessed.
Overview
New Roofs
Read the covering from ridge to gutter, then check each opening and change in roof direction.
01
Covering & fixings
Check the visible material and what holds it in place.
02
Junctions & water route
Follow laps, edges, flashings and drainage before choosing a repair.
A clear working process
How new roofs work is planned
Each step reduces uncertainty before the roof is opened or the customer commits to a larger scope.
Survey the whole roof
We record the visible condition, roof shape, junctions, drainage and access rather than pricing only from a street view.
Choose a suitable build-up
The covering and layers beneath it are matched to the roof type, property character and work that is genuinely required.
Agree a written scope
The quotation lists inclusions, exclusions, access, waste and how hidden timber or sarking damage will be handled.
Replace, check and hand over
Work proceeds in planned stages with weather protection, tidy removal and a final check of roof details and drainage.

New Roofs FAQs
Questions to ask before work starts
These answers explain what photos can show, what still needs inspection and how access and quotation details are agreed.
All Dundee roofing FAQsCan you quote for new roof replacement from photographs?
Photos often help us understand the likely problem and the safest next step. A final quote may still need a close site inspection, especially where the source of water is hidden.
What else is checked with new roof replacement?
A sound new roof replacement plan should include the surrounding covering, fixings, flashings and water route rather than treating one visible symptom on its own.
Will new roof replacement need scaffolding?
Safe access for new roof replacement depends on the height, roof shape and surroundings. The quotation should explain the proposed access after the roof has been assessed.
Can new roof replacement be completed in wet or windy weather?
Some make-safe work may be possible, but permanent new roof replacement needs suitable conditions and a safe surface. Never climb onto a wet or damaged roof yourself.
What should my new roof replacement quote include?
It should explain the new roof replacement work, planned materials, access, waste removal and any possible extra work that cannot be confirmed until the roof is opened.
