Christchurch's example makes roof material a useful first question. Do not apply a moss-treatment price for tiles to thatch; show the covering and ask for a suitable assessment, while pricing windows and gutters as separate services.
Start with the service you need below, then choose the property type or measured area that fits the job. These benchmarks help you budget; the photographs, materials and access at your own home determine the full quote.

Get a roof scope before choosing a roof price
The roof material, condition, slope and working access determine the suitable approach. Photograph it from the ground and mention any known defects. Ask whether the price includes moss removal, treatment, clearing the gutters afterwards and any access equipment; the published ranges below retain their stated exclusions.

Give the rear the same attention as the front
For a mid-terrace, explain whether equipment reaches the garden through a passage, an agreed shared route or the house. For an end terrace, identify any side windows or wall area to include. Draw the boundary of your gutter runs so each quote covers your part of the row.
