Roofing quotes that include access, waste, and the awkward bits

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.

Built for how you price real jobs

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”.

Waste and fittings on slates, tiles, and flats

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.

Lead, valleys, and ventilation as first-class lines

Capture flashings, soil vent terminals, and ridge details explicitly — the lines customers photograph later when they compare you with a cheaper one-page total.

Mobile quoting after a ladder survey

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.

Roofers need line discipline, not another invoice skin

Underquoting hurts most when sheets and leadwork were always going to cost what they cost. Quotimiser keeps those economics visible from the first PDF through to staged invoices on bigger pitches.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this for small repairs and full re-roofs?

Yes. Scale line items up or down per job — keep the same habits so repairs do not quietly subsidise re-roofs.

Does Quotimiser include UK VAT handling?

When you are VAT registered, VAT-aware totals follow your business profile for documents and previews.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Start free and upgrade when you outgrow limits — see pricing for current caps.
