Access and plant — scaffold, towers, and edge protection
Separate access allowances from cover price so customers see why a two-storey street differs from a bungalow gable — and you do not bury three days of plant inside “labour”.
Re-roofs and repairs fail when edge trays, valley lead, and sheet membranes are missing from the price. Build line items that survive a rainy Tuesday on scaffold — not just a m² rate copied from last year.
Roofing has volatile material weights and access risk. Quotimiser helps you standardise how you capture labour on pitch, sheet quantities with realistic waste, and the small lead and ventilation lines that eat margin when they are only in your head.

Model batten centres, underlay upgrades, dry fix versus mortar, and sheet membrane laps with realistic waste — the skip does not lie, so the quote should not either.
Capture flashings, soil vent terminals, and ridge details explicitly — the lines customers photograph later when they compare you with a cheaper one-page total.
Note photos, quantities, and exclusions on site while the pitch is fresh — then send a PDF that matches what you measured, not what you remembered in the evening.
