myRoofers Near Me
Roof problems can’t wait.
Even a loose tile or small damp patch can quickly turn into something considerably bigger if it’s left alone. Local roofers are called out every day to fix slipped tiles, chase leaks, and keep roofs in good condition.
Spotted something that doesn’t look right? It helps to know who to call and what to ask for.
Rather than searching “roofer near me” and hoping for the best, this guide will show you how to find brilliant local roofers. You'll also discover what they can help with and how to choose the right person for your job.

Understanding Your Roofing Needs
Before you bring a roofer in, it helps to get a bit of an idea of what might be going on up there.
Roofs take a beating from the weather, so problems can creep in slowly or appear overnight. A good roofer will spot issues quickly, but knowing what to look for makes the whole process much easier.
Here are some of the common jobs roofers are called out for:
- Replacing tiles or slates that have cracked, slipped, or gone missing completely.
- Tracking down leaks and fixing damaged areas on both flat roofs and pitched roofs.
- Fitting new roofs on extensions, loft conversions, garages, or garden buildings.
- Repairing chimney details (things like lead flashing, pointing, or worn brickwork).
- Sorting guttering, soffits, and fascias when they start sagging or letting water through.
- Clearing moss or debris that’s holding damp against the roof and shortening its lifespan.
Some roofers also deal with insulation upgrades or work alongside solar installers. So, rest assured there’s someone who can take care of exactly what you need. No matter what you need doing, you shouldn’t find it too tricky to find a roofer who’s dealt with something similar before.
Finding a Local Roofer on MyJobQuote
Roof issues don’t tend to sit quietly. They creep, spread, and turn into something far more bothersome if you leave them for too long. So it's important to get someone out as soon as you spot something that doesn’t look right.
It's incredibly straightforward to find local roofing companies near you using MyJobQuote.
Here's what you need to do:
- Enter your postcode to see local roofers.
- Pick the type of roofing job you need help with (repairs, new roof, leak investigation, etc.).
- Add a short note about the issue, like where the leak is or which part of the roof looks damaged.
- Upload photos of the problem if you can (cracked tiles, damp patches, loose flashing, anything that helps).
- Choose your budget and how soon you’d like the work done.
- Confirm your contact details so local roofers can get in touch with quotes.
MyJobQuote is an easy place to find a local roofer. You can look through the profiles of various specialists near you and see reviews, ratings, plus photos showing the quality of their previous roofing work. It saves you having to hunt for someone yourself.
Check Roofer Credentials
The right skills and cover are so essential when hiring a roofing specialist. They should always be happy to show you what training they’ve had and how they work.
A few things to look out for:
- Trade qualifications (e.g. NVQ in Roofing or a City & Guilds course in roof slating and tiling).
- Up-to-date health and safety training, shown through a valid CSCS card.
- Public liability insurance, so you’re safe and protected if anything gets broken or harmed during the job.
- A clear, genuine MyJobQuote profile with reviews, photos and real feedback from homeowners they’ve worked for.
If you’re unsure, their MyJobQuote profile is the easiest way to check them out. You’ll see the kind of jobs they take on, how neat and tidy their work looks, and what other people think of them, all before you make any decisions.
Roofer Recommendations
Along with using MyJobQuote to find a roofer near you, it’s worth getting a few personal recommendations as well.
Someone you know has almost certainly had roofing work done before. And they're very likely to tell you honestly who did a decent job.
You can also look up the roofer’s MyJobQuote profile to see photos of their work and what other homeowners have said about them. It gives you a pretty good picture of the kind of jobs they take on, and how reliable they are day to day.
If you notice a roofer working locally, make a note of their business name and look them up later. Seeing them in action often gives you a feel for how organised they are. But don't just go for the cheapest option on price alone. It’s better to pay a little more for someone experienced, insured, and backed by good feedback.
Memberships like NFRC, TrustMark, or Competent Roofer are an added bonus. But the real insight comes from reviews, photos, and how open they are about the work they’ll be doing.
Clarify the Contract With Your Roofer
Lastly, before any work starts, get everything in writing. A clear agreement protects you and sets out precisely what the roofer has promised to do.
Your written quote or contract should include:
- A full breakdown of the costs, including materials and labour.
- A clear outline of the work being done, from small repairs to full replacements.
- How and when payments are made, without any demand for full payment upfront.
- Details on guarantees or warranties for both materials and workmanship.
- Who will be carrying out the work (the roofer themselves or anyone subcontracted).
Monitor the Roofing Process
It's a good idea to check the progress of the roofing project from time to time.
If you have any queries, ask them before the work starts. It’s much easier for everyone when you know what’s expected.
If anything unexpected happens midway through (for example, a damp patch, rotten timbers, weakened roof trusses, or a few more tiles that need swapping), talk it through with the contractor as soon as you can. A quick chat clears things up and keeps costs and timings sensible.
What Can a Roofing Company Do?
Roofing specialists can offer a raft of services, including the following:
- Replacing the odd broken tile after a storm or when one finally gives up.
- Finding where a drip is coming from and sorting the patch that’s causing it.
- Fixing worn felt, sagging areas or boards that have softened over time.
- Helping with new builds or extensions so the whole place ties together properly.
- Sorting bits around chimneys, skylights or vents where gaps often appear.
- Clearing or repairing guttering and fascias when water keeps overflowing. Regular roof maintenance helps stop these issues building up.
- Stripping everything back and starting again if the roof is simply too far gone.
- Turning up quickly if there’s an emergency and rain is getting in right now.
You’ll get a better feel for what each roofer does by looking at their MyJobQuote profile. The photos and comments from other homeowners tell you more than any advert ever could, and help you find the right local roofer.
