GoodRoofers.co.uk is a free online matching service for homeowners, landlords and property managers who need help finding a local roofing company. Our service makes it easier to request quotations for roof repairs, roof replacements, maintenance and other roofing work without contacting lots of companies individually.
Customers can submit one online enquiry explaining the type of roofing work they need. We then use the details provided to try to match the enquiry with suitable roofers who cover the local area. Depending on availability, customers may receive contact and quotations from up to four independent roofing contractors.
The roofers in our network are expected to provide details of their insurance and references before receiving suitable enquiries. However, homeowners should still carry out their own checks before choosing a contractor or agreeing to any work.
GoodRoofers.co.uk is part of the Local-Quotes.co.uk home improvement quote service and is powered by Leads Do Work. Together, these services help connect homeowners with local tradespeople across the UK.
Helping You Find Local Roofers
Finding a reliable roofer is not always straightforward. Some companies may only cover certain types of roofing, while others may not operate in your area. During busy periods, it can also take time to find a contractor who is available to inspect the roof and provide a quotation.
GoodRoofers.co.uk aims to make the first step simpler. Instead of searching through directories and contacting several contractors separately, you can tell us about the work through one online form.
We will use the information you provide, including your location and the type of roofing service required, to look for suitable contractors within our network. Relevant roofers may then contact you to discuss the job, arrange a visit and prepare their own quotation.
Our service can be used for planned roofing improvements as well as more urgent problems. This includes anything from replacing a few broken tiles to renewing a complete pitched or flat roof.
How Our Roofing Quote Service Works
Requesting roofing quotes through GoodRoofers.co.uk only takes a few steps.
- Complete the online form with details about your property, location and the roofing work you require.
- We look for suitable roofers who provide the requested service and cover your area.
- Up to four contractors may contact you to ask further questions or arrange a roof inspection.
- You compare the quotations, proposed materials, timescales and experience of each company.
- You choose whether to proceed with one of the contractors or decline all of the quotations.
The service is free for homeowners to use. There is no obligation to accept a quotation, and requesting quotes does not enter you into a contract with a roofer.
You remain in control of the decision. This gives you the opportunity to compare different recommendations before choosing the contractor you feel is most suitable for the job.
About Local-Quotes.co.uk
Local-Quotes.co.uk is an established online service that helps homeowners request quotations for property improvements, maintenance and repairs. It covers a wide range of trades, including roofing, guttering, windows, insulation, damp proofing, driveways and garden work.
GoodRoofers.co.uk forms part of this wider service but focuses specifically on roofing. This allows customers to find information about common roofing problems and request quotes from contractors who provide the relevant type of work.
Using a wider home improvement network also helps us match enquiries with businesses that already operate within the customer’s area. This can be useful when the required service is specialist or when a homeowner does not already know a local roofer.
Powered by Leads Do Work
Leads Do Work provides the technology and contractor network behind GoodRoofers.co.uk. It works with tradespeople and home improvement businesses across the UK, helping them find customers who are actively requesting quotations.
Roofing contractors using the Leads Do Work platform can select the services they provide and the locations they cover. When a suitable enquiry becomes available, relevant contractors may receive the details and have the opportunity to contact the homeowner.
This helps reduce unsuitable enquiries for contractors while giving homeowners a better chance of hearing from companies that carry out the requested type of roofing work.
Roofing Services We Cover
GoodRoofers.co.uk can help with many different roofing projects. Customers can request quotes for a single repair, regular maintenance or a larger roof replacement.
Common roofing enquiries include:
- General roof repairs — replacing cracked, loose or slipped tiles, repairing small leaks and carrying out minor maintenance.
- Pitched roof replacement — removing an old roof covering and installing new tiles, slates, battens and underlay.
- Flat roof repairs and replacement — work involving roofing felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and liquid waterproofing systems.
- Garage roof replacement — replacing worn, leaking or damaged coverings on attached and detached garages.
- Emergency roof repairs — urgent work where a damaged roof is allowing water into the property.
- Storm damage repairs — replacing missing materials and repairing damage caused by high winds, heavy rain or falling branches.

- Chimney repairs — repointing, replacing damaged pots, repairing leadwork and dealing with leaks around the chimney stack.
- Roof valley repairs — repairing or replacing lead valleys, GRP valleys, mortar bedding and valley tiles.
- Bay window roof repairs — repairing or renewing lead, felt, GRP and other small roof coverings above bay windows.
- Roof underlay replacement — lifting tiles or slates so that damaged or deteriorated roofing felt can be replaced.
- Ridge tile repairs — rebedding, repointing or mechanically fixing loose ridge and hip tiles.
- Roof cleaning — removing dirt, staining, moss and organic growth from suitable roof surfaces.
- Roof moss removal — manual scraping, soft washing and the application of suitable biocide treatments.

Some roof problems can have more than one possible cause. For example, water entering near a chimney may come from failed flashing, damaged pointing, a cracked tile or another part of the roof. A contractor may need to inspect the property before recommending the correct repair.
Independent Roofing Contractors
GoodRoofers.co.uk does not employ roofers and does not carry out roofing work. We provide a matching and referral service that introduces customers to independent contractors.
The contractors who receive enquiries through our service operate their own businesses. They are responsible for arranging appointments, inspecting the property, recommending the work and providing their own prices.
Each contractor also decides which materials and repair methods they offer. Their availability, pricing, guarantees and payment terms may therefore differ.
Any agreement for roofing work is made directly between the homeowner and the chosen contractor. GoodRoofers.co.uk, Local-Quotes.co.uk and Leads Do Work are not parties to that agreement.
Checking a Roofer Before Work Begins
Although we ask contractors in our network to provide insurance details and references, homeowners should always make their own checks. This is particularly important for expensive work or a complete roof replacement.
Before choosing a roofer, it is sensible to:
- Ask for a written and itemised quotation.
- Check exactly which labour and materials are included.
- Ask whether scaffolding, skips and waste removal are included.
- Confirm whether the quoted price includes VAT.
- Request current evidence of public liability insurance.
- Ask for recent references or examples of similar work.
- Check independent customer reviews where available.
- Ask who will carry out the work and whether subcontractors will be used.
- Confirm the expected start date and completion time.
- Ask about workmanship guarantees and manufacturer warranties.
- Discuss how unforeseen problems or extra costs will be handled.
- Confirm the deposit amount and payment schedule in writing.
For larger projects, you may also want to ask whether the work requires building regulations approval or notification. A suitable contractor should be able to explain what applies to your particular project.
Comparing Roofing Quotations
The lowest quotation may not always offer the best overall value. Two roofers may suggest different methods, materials or amounts of preparatory work, which can affect the final price.
When comparing quotes, check whether each contractor has allowed for the same work. One quotation may include scaffolding and waste disposal, while another may list these as additional costs. Similarly, different grades of roof tiles, membranes, insulation or flat roofing products can vary in price and expected lifespan.
Ask questions when something is unclear. A professional roofer should be willing to explain what they have found, why the work is needed and how they intend to complete it.
