ADVICE BEFORE YOU BOOK
Comparing roof replacement quotes? Start with what is included.
A new roof is a significant decision. You want to know who will do the work, what you are paying for and what happens if something needs attention afterwards.
If you are comparing roofing quotations in Liverpool or Merseyside, the total price is only part of the picture. Two quotes can look similar while covering quite different work. These questions will help you compare them properly.
Request a roof replacement quote
Does the quotation explain the work clearly?
Look for a description of the roof being replaced and the work included. Ask the roofer to clarify anything that is missing, rather than assuming it is covered.
- Access and scaffolding.
- Removal and disposal of the old covering.
- The proposed tiles or slates, including the product where agreed.
- Underlay, battens and ventilation arrangements.
- Ridge, hip, valley and flashing work where applicable.
- Whether chimney work, fascias, soffits and gutters are included or quoted separately.
- How any concealed timber defects or additional work will be discussed and priced.
Not every roof needs the same work. What matters is that you understand the proposed scope for yours and can compare quotations on that basis.
Can I understand the price before booking?
Yes. Ask for the total, the agreed scope and any exclusions in writing. Check how VAT has been treated so you are comparing the amount you would actually pay.
Roofing Ninjas is a VAT-registered business and we charge VAT. Our registration number is GB 517 4266 89. If anything in your quotation is unclear, ask us before you book.
The size and shape of your roof, access, chosen covering and work required beneath the existing covering can all affect the price. Photographs are a useful starting point, but they cannot reveal every part of a roof’s condition.
Will my new roof have a guarantee?
Yes. We offer a minimum 10-year guarantee on new roof work. Ask us about the cover and terms that apply to your quotation so you understand what is included.
We are working towards certification for insurance-backed guarantees. That cover is not currently available from us. We want you to have a clear understanding of what we offer today.
When comparing roofers, ask who provides the guarantee, what it covers and how to contact them if you need help. A guarantee’s length is only one part of the answer.
Can I see evidence of the roofer’s work and reputation?
Yes, and we encourage you to look. Photographs help you see the work, while independent reviews help you understand customers’ experience of dealing with the company.
Most of our work comes through referrals and word of mouth. We take that seriously. Getting onto the next job is not more important to us than taking the time to do the current one properly.

Can we agree the payment stages before work starts?
Yes. We normally take a 30% deposit to book the work, with the remaining 70% payable on completion. Larger projects can have staged payments linked to completed work. Your agreed arrangement should be clear before you book.
We accept credit cards as a payment method. We do not offer our own finance or credit plans.
Can I ask for a quote if I am still weighing up my options?
Yes. Tell us your postcode, what you have noticed and what you would like to achieve. Send any photographs you already have, taken safely from the ground. You do not need to diagnose the roof yourself before contacting us.
We work across Liverpool, Merseyside and surrounding areas, including Waterloo, Crosby, Maghull and Melling. Send your postcode if you are unsure whether we cover your property.
