Report summary
Overview
This roofing quote looks broadly fair for the scope described. The total of GBP 4,800 is slightly above our central estimate but still within the likely market range for replacing damaged concrete tiles, renewing breathable membrane in affected areas, and repointing ridge lines on a typical semi-detached property. Before accepting, ask for written confirmation of scaffold duration, waste disposal limits, and how hidden timber repairs would be priced.

Questions to ask the builder
Use these to clarify missing details and reduce the chance of surprises later.
Copy for reuse
Can you confirm the exact scaffold hire period and the daily extension charge if the job overruns?
If rotten battens or timber are found, what unit rate will apply and how will approval be handled?
Please confirm whether skip permits, parking suspensions, and council permissions are included.
Can you provide a short written warranty summary for both materials and workmanship?
Confidence
Why confidence may vary
This helps explain uncertainty without making the result feel confusing.
Confidence depends on how clearly the quote described the work, how well the detected job type could be matched, and how strong the pricing reference looked.
Lower confidence does not mean the quote is wrong. It means you should lean more on the follow-up questions and scope checks before making a decision.
