Why should I use Hey Alfie instead of finding someone myself?

Finding a dependable roofer can be stressful, from chasing quotes and juggling schedules to hoping the work meets safety and warranty standards. Hey Alfie removes that stress. We handle everything from finding the right roofer to ensuring the job’s done right, safely, and on time. Plus, you’re always covered with our £1,000 Guarantee.

What does a roofer do?

Roofers handle a wide range of essential repairs, maintenance, and installations. Hey Alfie roofers save you time and stress by managing jobs such as:

• Roof repairs – fixing leaks, broken tiles, or storm damage
• New roof installations – pitched, flat, or slate roofs
• Gutter, fascia, and soffit repairs or replacements
• Chimney repairs and repointing
• Roof inspections and surveys
• Flat roof repairs, felt or rubber roofing
• Emergency callouts for storm damage or major leaks

For specialist work such as solar panel installation, insulation, or structural roofing, Alfie will match you with a certified professional for that specific job.

What qualifications does a roofer need in the UK?

Many roofers hold recognised certifications that prove their skills and reliability, such as:

• NVQ Level 2/3 in Roofing Occupations – covering slating, tiling, and flat roofing
• CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) certifications – health & safety and trade competence
• CSCS card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) – proof of training and qualifications to work safely on site
• Manufacturer accreditations – from roofing material suppliers (e.g., flat roof systems, slate, tiles)

When you book through Hey Alfie, we make sure to find expert roofers, so you know your home is in safe hands.

Can I book a roofer for small jobs?

Yes. Whether it’s a single leak, a few loose tiles, or gutter repairs, you can book small or minor roofing tasks directly through Alfie. You’ll get an upfront estimate and, if needed, can combine multiple small repairs in one visit.

Do I need to provide materials?

No. Roofers bring their own tools and standard materials. If specific materials are required (e.g. roof tiles to match existing ones, special flashing, or sealant types), you can either supply them or request your roofer to source them.

How much does a roofer charge?

Roofing rates in the UK typically range from £40–£80 per hour, depending on:

• Experience – Specialist or highly rated roofers charge more

How does pricing work on Hey Alfie?

Our pricing is job-based, not hourly. Alfie calculates the estimated cost from the job type, materials, and access requirements. You’ll see your quotes upfront before booking, so you can compare and choose the right roofer with confidence.

How quickly can I book a roofer?

Most minor repair jobs can be scheduled within a few days, depending on local availability. For urgent leaks or weather-related damage, Alfie will prioritise emergency bookings and get someone to you as quickly as possible.

What happens after I book?

You’ll receive a confirmation email with your roofer’s details and booking time. They’ll arrive as scheduled, complete the work, and you’ll only pay securely through Alfie once you’re satisfied with the job. Alfie manages the process from start to finish.

What if I’m not satisfied with the work?

You’re covered. Every booking through Hey Alfie comes with our £1,000 Guarantee. If something isn’t right, we’ll work with you to fix it, either with the same roofer or by sending another trusted pro to make it right.

How does your guarantee work?

If your original roofer doesn’t resolve an issue, Hey Alfie will cover up to £1,000 (including VAT) for another roofer to complete or correct the work to the proper standard. Learn more here.
