It’s very difficult to give an accurate time scale for a wide variety of Roof Repair Work.
Replacing a Few Slipped Tiles
Replacement of a few slipped or broken tiles to take about half a day to complete. The roofer can obtain the correct tiles to match and complete the repairs within a couple of hours, provided the underlying batten work is sound.
Repairing a Ridge or Hip
Repointing or relaying a ridge takes most of a day to complete. The roofer would return the following day to complete the bedding and point to a neat finish.
Flat Roof Re-cover
On average a flat roof re-cover on an extension would be a 1-3 day job, depending on size of job and material used (felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber). Each of these roofs have different drying/curing times.
Chimney Repointing or Flashing
Chimney Repointing or Flashing – a day’s work. Access to the chimney could be a major problem, and this would be affected by whether scaffolding is required, and then for the erecting and strike of said scaffolding – another day’s work.
Checking Planning Requirements
This depends on whether or not you need to apply for planning permission for your desired work (e.g. converting a flat roof to a pitched roof).
