01 / The idea

We're not roofers.
We're the shortcut to one.

Central Roofers is a matching service, not a contractor. We don't send our own crews, we don't set prices, and we don't take a cut. You describe the job once — free, no account — and every roofing firm on our network covering your postcode reads the same brief. Only the ones who genuinely want the work get your number. The price, the schedule, the handshake: all agreed between you and the roofer you choose.

The old way: ring round half of Manchester, leave voicemails, wait. The Central Roofers way: one honest description, in front of the right local firms, in minutes. Post at noon or at 3am — roofers pick it up when they're up, and your phone only rings when someone can actually help.

02 / What our network roofers do

Services, indexed.

  • /01
    Roof repairs

    Our network roofers chase slipped and broken tiles, cracked flashing, failed mortar and leaks that only appear when rain comes in sideways.

  • /02
    New roofs

    Our network roofers strip and re-cover full roofs in tile or slate — for when repairs have become a subscription you never signed up for.

  • /03
    Flat roofs

    Our network roofers lay and repair felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass on extensions, garages and dormers.

  • /04
    Guttering

    Our network roofers clear, repair and replace gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits — the unglamorous parts that keep walls dry.

  • /05
    Chimney work

    Our network roofers repoint stacks, renew lead flashing and sort pots, cowls and flaunching before the next storm finds the weak spot.

  • /06
    Emergency repairs

    Our network roofers take on storm damage and active leaks. Post at any hour — emergency roofers watch for these first.

03 / Four steps

Post. Pick. Done.

  1. Describe the job

    Two minutes, plain words. Tiles, leak, guttering, chimney — say what you see. No account, no fee.

  2. Local roofers see it

    Your brief goes to roofing firms covering your postcode. They read it and decide whether it's theirs to take on.

  3. They contact you

    Only roofers who can do the job get your number. No broadcast spam, no cold-call lottery.

  4. You choose, or don't

    Compare, haggle, walk away. No obligation and no fee from your side, at any point.

05 / Two kinds of roofs

Homes & businesses.

Residential

Homes

Terraces, semis, detached houses and flats. Most posts are homeowners sorting the roof over their own heads — leak tracing, tile and slate work, chimneys and flashing, guttering cleared or replaced.

  • Leak tracing — where water gets in, not where it lands
  • Tile, slate and ridge repairs
  • Chimney repointing and lead flashing

Commercial

Businesses

Shops, offices, warehouses, landlords and letting agents. One brief, several quotes, and a paper trail — post once and let firms with the right kit come to you.

  • Flat roof systems at scale — felt, EPDM, GRP
  • Planned gutter and outlet maintenance
  • Insurance paperwork: ask for proof of cover

06 / Where

Manchester, first.

Our home patch is Greater Manchester — and the network takes roofer services across the UK. Post from any of these towns and local firms see it first.

08 / Straight answers

Asked often.

How much does it cost?
Posting is free. The work's price is agreed between you and the roofer — we publish no fixed prices.Any number we printed would be fiction: every roof differs. Your roofer quotes after seeing the job. Sample — illustrative only: minor tile repairs are often quoted in the low hundreds; a full re-roof on a three-bed semi runs to several thousand.
How fast will roofers respond?
No guaranteed time — roofers choose their jobs.Many firms check new posts daily; emergency posts get picked up fastest. A sharp description (what, where, how urgent) helps the right roofer recognise it as theirs.
Do I pay Central Roofers anything?
No. Nothing from your side, ever.Money only changes hands between you and the roofer you choose.
Is my number public?
No — only roofers who take your job see it.No public listing, no broadcast list. No takers, no shared number.
What if nobody suitable replies?
You've lost two minutes, nothing else.Repost with more detail and a timeframe. No obligation at any point — including after replies arrive.

09 / Any hour

Post a job at any hour.

Leaks don't keep office hours, so our posting form doesn't either. Write it up at 3am — roofers covering emergency work see it first, and your phone only rings when someone can actually help.

  • Storm damage tonight? Post now, describe where the water travels, let the night owls find you.
  • Hire sharp: ask about their competent person scheme, check the public register, and ask for insurance proof before work starts.
  • Notifiable work? Make sure certification is part of the deal, agreed up front and in writing.
Licensed & insured — ask for proof.Check your roofer's competent person scheme on the public register and keep a copy of their insurance. Good roofers expect it.
A matching service, not a contractor.We put your brief in front of local roofing firms. The contract — and the price — is between you and the roofer.
