About Roofers Telford

Roofers Telford is an enquiry service for roof work in Telford, Shropshire, and the towns around it. The name sounds like a roofing firm. It isn't one, and this page explains what it is instead.

What We Do

You tell us about your roof, on the phone or through the form. We pass that description and your contact details to an independent local roofing firm that covers your area. The firm contacts you, arranges to look at the roof, and gives you a quote. From then on you deal with them directly. You can accept, turn it down, or get other quotes at the same time, just as if you had found the firm on your own.

We also write the guides on this site. The four cost guides give typical UK ranges for roof repairs, new roofs, flat roofs and conservatory roofs, because price is the first thing everyone asks and hardly anyone local publishes a figure. The guide to insurance explains how storm claims are judged. The area pages describe the roofs in each part of Telford and East Shropshire as they really are, from felted garages on the estates to clay tiles above the Severn.

What We Do Not Do

We do not do roofing work. Nobody here climbs a ladder or quotes a job.

We do not inspect, approve or check the roofing firm your enquiry goes to. Some enquiry sites suggest they do; we would rather tell you plainly that we have not, and that a website cannot stand behind a roofer. What we have done is write the guide to how to choose a roofer. It shows you how to check any roofer yourself: their insurance certificates, a written quote, your cancellation rights, and whether they are on the Trading Standards Accredited (TSA) register. TSA is run by Telford & Wrekin Council's Trading Standards Service for businesses in Telford & Wrekin and Shropshire, and you can search it at tsaccredited.co.uk. The guide also covers who is responsible if a roofer is hurt on your roof.

We do not publish opening hours or promise a time when a roofer will arrive, because we do not run their diary. Enquiries outside working hours get a call back the next working day.

How We Are Paid

We may receive a fee from the roofing firm for the introduction. You pay us nothing, and the quote you get is the roofer's own price for the job. Our referral marketing disclosure gives the details.

Why Local Knowledge Counts Here

Telford was given new town status in the 1960s and grew around older towns such as Madeley, Wellington, Oakengates, Hadley and Dawley. So one borough holds two very different sets of roofs. The older towns have slate terraces and brick stacks. The estates typically have concrete tiles, flat-roofed garages, link blocks and extensions, often all of a similar age. Then there is the Ironbridge Gorge, a World Heritage Site where the council wants to hear about roof changes before they happen. Beyond the borough, Shrewsbury and the market towns each have conservation areas of their own. A roofer who knows which of these they are walking into prices the right job first time, which is why enquiries go to local firms.

Who Uses the Service

People with a leak and no roofer to call. Owners of a flat-roofed garage or extension that has started to pond. Anyone thinking about a solid roof on a conservatory. Landlords who need a problem looked at and quoted without driving over. Owners of older houses in a conservation area who want a roofer used to that kind of work. And anyone who wants to know what to ask before accepting a quote.
