Slipped slates on a Moseley terrace, a leaking flat roof over a Northfield extension, or a full re-roof: post your job free and compare quotes from Birmingham roofers who cover your postcode. See reviews and previous work before anyone climbs a ladder.
Roofing is the trade where choosing carefully matters most. The work is high up, hard to inspect, and easy to do badly in a way that only shows when the rain finds its way in months later. Comparing local roofers through Trade Request lets you see profiles and reviews first, and because only a limited number of roofers can respond to each job, you get genuine quotes rather than a bidding scrum.
A large share of Birmingham's homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraces roofed in slate or clay tile, and many are now well past their first re-roof. Common jobs across areas like Kings Heath, Stirchley and Erdington include replacing slipped or broken slates, repointing ridge and verge mortar, rebedding chimney flashings and renewing tired felt. On post-war and modern homes in areas like Sheldon and Longbridge, concrete interlocking tiles and flat-roofed extensions bring their own repair patterns.
As a rough guide, straightforward repairs such as replacing a handful of slipped tiles often cost between £150 and £400 in Birmingham. Flat roof replacement on a typical extension usually runs from around £1,000 upwards depending on size and material, and a full re-roof of a terraced house is normally several thousand pounds including scaffolding. Scaffolding is a real cost, so ask every roofer whether it is included in the quote.
One honest warning: roofing attracts more doorstep cold-callers than any other trade. Be wary of anyone who "just noticed a problem with your roof" and can start today for cash. A reputable Birmingham roofer will happily put a quote in writing, explain what they found, and not mind you getting a second opinion. That is exactly what posting your job here lets you do.

Small repairs like replacing a few slipped slates or tiles typically cost between £150 and £400. Larger jobs such as chimney reflashing, flat roof replacement or a full re-roof range from several hundred to several thousand pounds, with scaffolding often a significant part of the price. Compare two or three itemised quotes before committing.
Isolated slipped tiles, a single damp patch or localised leaks usually mean a repair. Widespread slipped or delaminating slates, crumbling mortar and repeated leaks in different places suggest the roof covering is reaching the end of its life. A good roofer will show you photos of what they find and explain both options rather than pushing straight to a full replacement.
Many do. If storm damage is involved, photograph everything before temporary repairs, contact your insurer early, and keep every quote and invoice. When you post your job, mention that it is an insurance claim so roofers can provide the itemised documentation insurers ask for.
