When a roofer comes to your home to carry out a repair a written quote will be provided, listing out all of the work to be carried out, and enabling you to compare like with like when receiving quotes from other roofers in Gosport.
Scope of Work Description
This section should detail the work that the roofer intends to carry out. This should be clear and easy to read so you know what you’re getting. If you ask for a description of the work to be carried out in the initial quote then any subsequent site visits or additional quotes should refer to the original quote’s description.
Materials and Quantities
A good quote for a roof repair will detail the type of materials that you will be replying to for your roof and list the quantity of each. This allows you to compare like with like when receiving quotes from several different contractors.
Labour Costs
Labour costs will often be listed separately from the cost of the materials for a job. When looking for a roofer in Gosport the hours or days it is estimated to take to complete the job will be stated. This stops the quoted cost turning into a mysterious sum when the invoice arrives.

VAT Treatment
Some contractors are not VAT registered. Make sure you know if VAT has been included in the quoted amount or not. This can often appear to cost less than it actually does when the invoice is received.
Provisional Sums
These are aspects of the work that cannot be known until the job has started and then may be found to require additional work to put right problems such as hidden rot under some of the tiles. A clearly labelled provisional sum is provided for each of these with a realistic range for expected cost.
Understanding what each section is supposed to contain will allow you to be confident in reading a repair quote.
