Each answer starts with the short reply, then explains the detail behind it. That suits a quick check before a phone call, and it leaves room for the exceptions that matter on a real roof.

Some of the most common subjects concern money and trust. VAT on roofing explains when the standard rate applies and when insulation work is zero-rated. What a roofing quote should include goes through what a good estimate contains. Checking a roofer and doorstep roofers help you spot warning signs before you pay a deposit.

Others deal with the roof itself: the main roof shapes on UK homes, and which material lasts longest.
