Roofer Bournemouth

Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch are the core of it, and we work out to Wimborne, Ferndown, Ringwood, Verwood, Wareham, Swanage, Lymington and New Milton. Most jobs sit within about twenty miles of Bournemouth. If you are on the edge of that, ring with the postcode and we will tell you straight away rather than waste your time. Every town we have written up is listed on areas we cover.

Neither. Thomas comes out, gets onto the roof or into the loft where he needs to, and puts a written itemised quote in front of you afterwards. There is no call-out charge for a quote and no obligation to book. What comes back sets out the scope and the materials line by line, so you can hold it against anyone else's price and compare like with like.

That is how the firm is set up. Fourteen trades in-house and no sub-contracting, so the people who strip a roof are the people who point the chimney and lay the drive. It matters most where trades meet, at a verge, an abutment, or where new paving runs up to a wall. Each is written up on its own: roofing, bricklaying and repointing, driveways and patios, plastering and rendering, insulation and exterior cleaning.

Thomas Hannen owns the firm and prices every job himself, so the person who quoted is the person who knows what was agreed. The work is done by our own team rather than a crew hired in for the week. You get one point of contact from the first visit to the last day, and the same number to ring if something needs sorting out.

Ring rather than email if water is already coming in. We will get someone out to make it safe and stop it getting worse, usually with a temporary cover, then price the permanent repair once the roof can be seen properly in dry weather. Diagnosing a leak from the ground in driving rain wastes your money as well as ours.

It is a priced line on the quote, never a surprise afterwards. Anything above single storey needs a proper platform, and how long it has to stand matters as much as how big it is. Where a job can be done safely off a tower we say so, because that costs you less. Whatever we have assumed about access is written down where you can see it.

Look us up. Bournemouth Roofing & Building Ltd is registered in England and Wales, company number 15471719, and that takes a minute on the Companies House website. There is a verified customer's 10 out of 10 on our Checkatrade profile. Ask any trade for the same, and be wary of anyone who will not give you a company number.

Usually not for a like-for-like repair. It changes if the property is listed, sits inside a conservation area, or falls within the New Forest National Park, and it changes for a driveway if you pave a front garden in something water cannot get through. We tell you which of those applies at the visit, not after the work has started.

Yes, with the sense the season asks for. Mortar and render will not go on in frost, so repointing and rendering wait for the temperature to come up. Roof repairs, dry-fix ridge work, leadwork, loft insulation and inside plastering carry on regardless. Winter is usually the quickest time to get booked in, and it is the season that shows you exactly where a roof is weak.
