Georgina Bisby, Editor of skill-builder.uk, shares some top tips home owners should consider when having a new roof installed.

Roofing shortcuts can lead to future problems such as leaking roofs, roof tiles falling off and poor insulation so it’s worth being armed with enough information to check your roofer is doing the job right.

Also, not all roofers keep up with the latest roofing standards so check your roofer is up-to-date and adhering to professional standards. Roofers who are members of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) for example are subject to a strict code of practice and vetting procedure, including site inspections and adhering to Government endorsed standards.
