FAQs
How do you calculate the cost of a new roof or siding replacement in Lancing?
We start with a free on-site inspection to measure the exact square footage, slope, and current condition of your roof or exterior walls. Once we have the measurements, we plug them into a fixed-rate price matrix that lists labour, materials, disposal, and permit fees separately. Because the rates are published online and in our printed brochure, you can see precisely how each line item contributes to the total. No estimates are based on "what the market will bear"—only on the size of your project and the material grade you choose.
What does “transparent pricing” actually mean for your roofing & siding services?
Transparent pricing means every charge is disclosed before work begins, broken down by category: materials, labour, permits, site protection, waste disposal, and after-care. You receive a digital quote with clickable details, and you can track any price adjustments in real time (for example, if you upgrade from 25-year shingles to standing-seam metal). We never hide mark-ups in vague terms like “miscellaneous” or “contractor’s fee,” so you can compare our quote apples-to-apples with any competitor’s.
Are there any hidden fees or unexpected charges I should know about?
No. Our contract has a “no-surprise” clause that caps the final invoice at the quoted amount unless you approve a written change order. Common unforeseeable issues—like rotten decking discovered after tear-off—are priced in advance at a fixed square-foot rate, so even worst-case scenarios are laid out before you sign. If we miss something that should have been included, we absorb the cost, not you.
Can you provide on-the-spot written estimates during the initial inspection?
Yes. Because we use tablet-based estimating software loaded with our price matrix, our project manager can print or email a binding quote before leaving your driveway. The estimate stays valid for 30 days, giving you time to review or seek other bids. If you need financing, the same visit can include a soft-credit pre-approval, so you know your monthly payment along with the project total.
How do material choices (asphalt, metal, vinyl siding, fiber-cement) affect the final price?
Each material has a published price per square (100 sq ft) or per linear foot. For example, architectural asphalt shingles in Lancing start at £115 per square installed, while standing-seam metal averages £275–£325 per square. Vinyl siding runs about £6–£8 per sq ft installed, whereas fiber-cement is £9–£12. Our quote shows these unit costs side by side, so you can immediately see the premium to move up to longer-lasting products and decide if the lifecycle savings justify the upfront spend.
Do your transparent quotes include warranties, permits, and clean-up costs?
Absolutely. All manufacturer warranties, our 10-year workmanship warranty, West Sussex permit fees, scaffolding, skip hire, magnetic nail sweep, and haul-away charges are itemised in the proposal. After completion, we provide a zero-balance receipt and all warranty registration documents, so you have proof that everything promised was delivered without add-ons.
