The cheapest roofing quote? The lowest headline price is not always the lowest final bill. Compare the full proposal before choosing.
Check the total payable. Make sure every quote states its VAT treatment. A price excluding VAT is not directly comparable with one including VAT.
Check what is included. Compare materials, scaffold, waste, insulation and ventilation. A blank is an unknown. It is not an inclusion.
Control the extras. Ask how hidden defects will be photographed, priced and approved. Get missing details in writing before accepting.
Compare like for like. Use our roofing quote comparison tool at northeastroofanswers.co.uk. Send J&L Welch your roof details for a written quotation. General guidance; property-specific assessment needed.
