Common questions about roofing, re-roofs and repairs
We are based in Blackpool and cover the whole Fylde Coast, including Lytham St Annes, Poulton-le-Fylde, Thornton-Cleveleys, Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Kirkham. If you are just outside that area, give us a call and we will let you know.
The Roofers was founded by Mark O'Reilly, who learned the trade from his father, a self-employed roofer since the early 1980s. Together the family brings more than 40 years of roofing experience to every job.
Yes. We hold £2 million public liability insurance and £10 million employers liability cover for all the roofing work we carry out, and we are happy to provide proof of cover before any job begins.
Yes. Every quote is free and comes with no obligation. Send us a few photos with your enquiry and we can often give you an initial idea before we even visit, then confirm with a detailed written quote after a survey.
Get in touch by phone, WhatsApp or the enquiry form. It helps to include a couple of photos of the roof and a short description of the problem. We will assess it, arrange a visit if needed, and send a clear written quote.
Re-roofs and new roofs come with a 15-year workmanship guarantee. The tiles, slates and membranes we fit carry their own manufacturer guarantees, typically a long service life.
Every roof is different, so the cost depends on the size, pitch, materials, access and the specification your property needs. We give you a clear, fixed written quotation after a free initial assessment, so you know exactly where you stand before any work begins.
Every job is individual, so timescales vary with the size and complexity of the roof and the weather. We will give you a realistic timescale with your quotation and keep you updated as the work progresses.
No. You can stay in your home throughout the work. We keep the site safe and tidy and clear up fully at the end of each day.
A full re-roof normally involves removing the existing covering, inspecting the roof structure, and renewing the membrane, battens and covering with the specified ridge detail and any leadwork, valleys and ventilation the property needs. The exact specification depends on the property and system, so we advise on what your roof actually requires.
In most cases, yes. We work with a wide range of tile and slate types and will source the closest match for repairs, or advise on the best modern equivalent for a full replacement.
It depends on the repair, the access and what is involved, so we always give you a clear price before any work starts. Send us a few photos with your enquiry and we can often advise on the likely cause before we visit.
We respond quickly to leaks, slipped tiles and storm damage. Call us as soon as you notice a problem and we will get to you as fast as we can to make the roof safe and watertight.
Where it is safe, place a container under the leak indoors and move anything valuable clear. Then send us a photo and a description. We will diagnose the likely cause and arrange to assess and fix it.
Absolutely. If a roof is near the end of its life and repairs would only be a short-term fix, we will tell you honestly and set out your options. We would rather give you the right advice than sell you work you do not need.
Yes. Alongside the roof itself we handle chimney repairs and repointing, leadwork, and fascias, soffits and guttering, so the whole roofline is sound and weathertight.
Integrated, or in-roof, solar sits flush within the roof covering rather than being bolted on top, for a neater, more streamlined finish. We install the roofing side (battens, trays, flashing and panels) and a specialist solar subcontractor completes the electrical work, commissioning and MCS certification.
Yes, and it is the best time to do it. Fitting integrated solar while we re-roof means the panels are built into the finished roof properly, with no retrofit brackets and a cleaner, more durable result.
Our 15-year workmanship guarantee covers the roofing works on supplied and fitted new roofs and re-roofs, including our installation of the in-roof solar roofing system. The electrical works, solar equipment and certification are handled by our specialist solar subcontractor and covered separately by the relevant installer and manufacturer terms.
Most pitched roofs are suitable. As part of your survey we will check the orientation, pitch and condition, and give you honest advice on whether integrated solar makes sense for your property.

Fantastic job done by Mark, Terry and Dec. Very punctual, friendly and very hard working. Mark showed us photos of the problems with the roof before they started doing the repairs. They did a great job. Would highly recommend them. Many thanks

Recently had our roof replaced after finding it had spray foam insulation.We chose The Roofers Blackpool after reading the reviews and meeting Mark when he came out to quote. He came across as knowledgeable, explained everything clearly and gave us confidence that they knew what they were doing.The work started when they said it would and the team were well organised throughout. They had some mixed weather to deal with, from what felt like constant rain to the recent heatwave, but they kept the job moving and worked through it all.Removing the spray foam insulation can’t have been an easy job, but they got it all out and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards, both inside and outside. You’d hardly know the work had been done.The biggest reassurance was that Building Control inspected the work during the job and again once it was finished. Everything was signed off with no issues, and the inspector was very complimentary about the standard of the work.Overall, we’re really pleased with the finished roof and the service we received. I’d happily recommend The Roofers Blackpool to anyone looking to have similar work carried out.

Excellent, I have tried multiple roofers with no success, they either ignore you or don't turn up. I saw The Roofers on a job and Mark replied straight away to my enquiry. He booked an appointment and arrived as agreed. Very professional with written quotes, reports and invoices. I would not hesitate to recommend The Roofers.
Simon Thompson
An excellent job from Mark and his team, hugely appreciated.They arrived bang on time and worked tirelessly through the heatwave to replace cracked roof tiles, re-mortar damaged lead gullies, remove excess moss build-up and fix broken air vents. Very high quality work and left the work area spotless.Would definitely use again and will be recommending to friends.Thank you
Simon Pearce

Mark provided a great service to fix a loose tile at my house in Bispham. He was vastly cheaper than the other numbers I rang 👌
dean mcdonald
Very responsive even when I called late out of hours, quick turnaround and sent arial photos of the completed work. Price could of been slightly more competitive however I’m very happy with work done. 5/5.
Carole Whitley
Mark and Dec have just finished my roof repairs (in Reddish, Stockport). I have been really impressed with everything - from the prompt response to my initial request, following up, an honest review of what needed doing (and, more importantly, what DIDN'T need doing), to arriving early, working constantly until the job was completed, and tidying up afterwards.Thoroughly decent guys who did a great job.Highly recommended.
Kevin O'Hara
I have had a very positive experience with the Roofers, as follows. Mark provided a quick and very comprehensive diagnosis based on the photos that I supplied with my initial enquiry. This was quickly followed up by a visit to assess the job and the detailed quote was provided the same day. We were fitted in quickly and the actual job was completed to a very high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend The Roofers, they will be my first port of call for future roofing works.
Jake Phillips
Great service, very friendly. Gave me an instant quote for a small repair as well as reasonable quote for a re roof. Very satisfied!
Tarek Bakht
We were recommended Mark by a friend and we are so glad we found him after having bad experience with a cowboy roofer. Mark is very professional, honest and trustworthy roofer. We were very impressed with his professionalism and his work he did to help repair our roof. There are very few trades people like mark. I would highly recommend him. Thank you so much Mark and the roofers.

For many years I’ve supplied roof tile bumpas to The Roofers Blackpool throughout the Stockport area for their projects on both commercial and residential properties.Both Terry and Mark , who lead the team, are notably, honest, reliable and a pleasure to work alongside.Their level of roofing knowledge and workmanship cannot be faulted.
Terri Mccall

Millie Parker
Mark and his team repeatedly repaired and then replaced my roof which they did in the wettest week in 2021. He also very kindly came back out to fix the lead on the bay windows which was damaged when the windows were replaced.I would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone (he was also recommended to us!) he is punctual, professional, honest and efficient. I will absolutely use his services again on my next property!Thanks again!!

RACHEL ALEXANDER
An outstanding service from a truly professional company. Mark and his team have been exceptional from start to finish—friendly, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable. Across multiple projects including remedial works, domestic repairs, roof replacements, and new build installations, they’ve consistently delivered high-quality results with care and efficiency. Their work ethic is second to none, and they always go the extra mile to ensure everything is done to the highest standard. It’s rare to find a team that combines technical expertise with such a personable approach. Highly recommended to anyone looking for trustworthy and capable professionals.

We have worked with Mark, Terry and the team on several projects around the South Manchester area over the last 10 years. The Roofers are currently installing 57 rooves for us on three and four bedroom homes in Levenshulme.The Roofers are reliable and dependable with excellent time management; keeping to their committed timeframes for completing their work, critical in the construction industry.The quality of The Roofers work is always outstanding and on the very rare occasion that there is an issue then they are extremely quick to respond and attend to resolve the issue satisfactorily first time around.The Roofers would always be our first choice for a roofing company for all future projects and roofing works. Very highly recommended.
Peter Sutton
Mark and the team replaced the tiles to my bay window in Blackpool.They did a fantastic job, were punctual, knowledgable and respectful of our property. I would recommend The Roofers to anyone
Stephen Langshaw
Mark and Terry carried out some repair work on my property all completed to good standard and on time, have recommended them to friends
Denise Bradley
The Roofers Blackpool did a fantastic job installing a roof vent to extract steam from my bathroom. Very efficient team. Will definitely be using them in the not too distant future for a full re-roof.
Rebecca Norris
Fantastic roofing company - I’ve already recommended to several friends!Mark and his dad re-roofed our 1898 Victorian semi in 2023. They salvaged about 70% of the original slate, keeping costs down and Mark did the most incredible lead work we weren’t even expecting. They also replaced the concrete porch tiles with a slate roof to match the main roof. Not only did it look fantastic we felt extremely smug under it as the winter came on afterwards!Highly recommended - and I’ve had a lot of tradespeople work on our house Reno, Mark and the Roofers are amongst the best.
Peter Nabridnyj
They are experienced, polite and punctual. Hard to find those three qualities in any contractors let alone roofers. They are excellent on old slate roofs, can highly recommend
