Roofer Red Flag Checker
Select anything that's happened with a quote or roofer you're currently dealing with to get a rough read on how many common warning signs are present — built from the same checklist in our red flags guide. A self-check, not a vetting service.
Select anything that applies to a quote or roofer you're currently dealing with:
Nothing flagged so far
Based on what you've selected, nothing here matches the common warning signs — that's a reasonable position to be in. It's still worth getting the agreed scope, price and timescale in writing before work starts, even for a small job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does RoofEnquiry vet or check roofers before sharing my enquiry?
No — RoofEnquiry doesn't vet, insure or background-check any roofing professional. We're a matching service; checking credentials, insurance and reviews yourself before agreeing to work is always worth doing.
Is it normal to be asked for a deposit?
Yes, particularly for larger jobs where materials need to be bought upfront. What's worth paying attention to is the difference between a reasonable, explained deposit backed by an invoice, and pressure for full payment in cash before any work has started.
What if a roofer refuses to give a written quote?
Treat that as a significant red flag rather than a minor inconvenience — a written quote costs a legitimate business nothing to provide, and is the main thing protecting you if a dispute arises later.
Does a cheap quote always mean a problem?
Not always — genuinely competitive, fair pricing exists. It's specifically an unusually low quote with no explanation, vague scope, or pressure to accept quickly that's worth treating with caution, not low pricing on its own.
