📞 Call Now: 01483 346 440Every Guildford job runs the same honest way: free ridge-level and loft survey, a written itemised quote (materials, mortar, scaffold and labour separate), scheduling around you, the work with daily weatherproofing, full cleanup and waste removal, then sign-off and a written 10-year guarantee. Nothing is paid before materials are on site.
Call 01483 346 440 or request a callback and a local Guildford roofer rings you back within 2 hours (8am–6pm, Mon–Sat). We take the basics — where you are, what you have noticed, how urgent it is — and book a free survey. A live leak is triaged for same-day attendance.
We inspect from ridge level and from inside the loft, not just the ground. On the post-war concrete-tile estates (Park Barn, Stoughton, Bellfields) we check for nail sickness and tile creep; on the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre we check ridge mortar, lead valleys and shared party-wall gutters; on 1930s semis around Onslow Village and Rydes Hill we check chimney lead and the age of the felt underlay. We photograph anything of concern.
You get a written quote that separates scaffold, materials, mortar grade, tile type and labour — never a single lump sum. Where pre-1970 stock might reveal batten or rafter issues on strip, we carry a stated provisional allowance rather than surprising you mid-job. On period and conservation properties we specify matching materials and lime mortar explicitly.
We agree a start date and, where scaffold is needed, arrange it and the pavement or skip permit through Guildford Borough Council — allowing a few working days on tight streets like Quarry Street and Chapel Street. Scaffold is always itemised, never a hidden extra.
We keep the property watertight at the end of every working day and protect your garden, drive and any pets' access. You do not need to be home for external work — just power and agreed access. If rain stops tiling, temporary weatherproofing goes on the same day.
We clear all debris, remove waste, and walk the finished job round with you. You receive your written 10-year workmanship guarantee (transferable if you sell) plus any manufacturer material warranties, and an itemised VAT invoice for your records.
Choosing a contractor who is a member of a recognised trade body and who provides a written quotation and guarantee is the clearest protection a homeowner has against poor work.— NFRC consumer guidance / TrustMark
A recent example: a homeowner on a 1930s semi near Onslow Village called about a stain spreading across an upstairs ceiling. On the free survey we traced it — not to the tiles above the stain, but to failed lead soakers and open pointing on the chimney stack two metres away, water tracking down the felt before dropping through. The written quote itemised new Code 5 lead and a lime repoint of the stack at £600–£950 as a single combined visit while access was in place, far cheaper than two separate call-outs. We scaffolded the stack side, completed it in a day, kept the loft dry throughout, cleared up, and handed over the guarantee. That is the whole process in one job: diagnose properly, quote honestly, do it once, leave it clean.
The same discipline applies whether it is a single slipped tile or a full re-roof. What does not change is the sequence — free survey, written itemised quote, agreed schedule, watertight-every-night working, full cleanup, and a guarantee you can rely on. If you would like to see how we would approach your roof, a survey costs nothing and puts you under no obligation. How to choose a roofer explains what to check in any firm you consider, us included.
Call 01483 346 440 or request a callback — we book a free survey, inspect from ridge level and the loft, then send a written itemised quote. No call-out fee and no obligation.
No — surveys and written quotes are free across Guildford and Surrey. You only pay for work you approve, and nothing before materials are on site.
Small repairs are often scheduled within days; larger re-roofs depend on scaffold and material lead times, typically 1–3 weeks. Emergencies get 24/7 same-day response.
Always. Every quote itemises materials, mortar, scaffold and labour separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for — never a vague single figure.
