What to know

Roofs vs extensions

Roofing is weather-bound and often needs access equipment. Extensions and conversions may need planning or building control — ask who submits notices.

Deposits and staging

Be wary of large upfront sums. Stage payments tied to progress are clearer. Confirm insurance and waste removal in the quote.

Before work starts

Photograph the existing condition, agree working hours, and know who clears up at the end of each day.
