For homeowners getting roofing quotes
The Smart Roof Quote Kit
Three roofers should not give you three wildly different prices. Nine times out of ten they do, because each one quoted a different job. This kit fixes that before it happens.
No account to create, no subscription, no follow-up sales calls.
The reason roofing quotes come back thousands of pounds apart is almost never dishonesty. It is that each roofer quoted a slightly different job: one included scaffolding, one did not; one priced new underlay and battens, one assumed the old ones were fine; one is VAT registered and one is not. By the time the quotes land on your kitchen table, they are no longer comparable, and the cheapest one is usually the least complete.
This kit is the pack a surveyor would hand you. You fill in one short brief, send the same brief to every roofer, then drop the three quotes into a spreadsheet that flags every line where they disagree. It takes about twenty minutes and it turns three unrelated numbers into a real choice.
It is written for UK homeowners, uses 2026 UK price data with its sources cited, and covers the things that actually cost people money: the scaffolding line, the deposit, the guarantee that is not insurance backed, and the damage that gets "discovered" once the tiles are off.

Inside the guide
- The ten questions that define your job clearly enough that every roofer prices the same thing
- The eleven things every quote must include, and what it means when one is missing
- A plain English glossary, so underlay, batten grade, lead codes and BS 5534 stop being someone else’s language
- What a fair price looks like in 2026, with typical UK ranges for scaffolding, chimney work, lead, guttering and more, and the regional multipliers that move them
- The red flags watchlist, the cowboy patterns worth walking away from
- The contract checklist, including the wording that stops a £900 job becoming £3,500 when rot is found
- Your legal position: the 14 day cancellation right, section 75 credit card protection, and what the Consumer Rights Act entitles you to if the work is poor
- What to do if it goes wrong, in the order that actually works

Questions
What exactly do I get?
Four files: a 17 page guide as a PDF, the Request for Quote template as a Word document, the 3-quote comparison spreadsheet as an Excel file, and four copy-and-paste roofer emails as a Word document. You can download them individually or as one zip.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You pay by card, the download page opens straight away, and the same link is emailed to you and it does not expire, so you can come back to it whenever you need.
Will this work if I have already had quotes?
Yes. Start with the comparison spreadsheet and the clarification email template. That is usually enough to work out why your quotes differ without going back to the beginning.
Is it specific to the UK?
Yes, entirely. The prices, standards, schemes and consumer law in it are UK based, and the cost ranges are 2026 figures with their sources listed.
Is this advice about a specific roofer?
No, and deliberately so. The kit never comments on any named contractor. It gives you the questions, the checklists and the price context so you can judge for yourself.
Is VAT included?
Yes. £9.99 is the total you pay, including VAT at 20%. The order email shows the VAT element separately so you can use it as a receipt.
What if it is not useful to me?
Reply to your order email within 30 days and we will refund you in full. You do not need to give a reason.

30 day money-back guarantee. Instant download, no account required.
