For an older Swindon-area cottage, identify thatch at the start of any roof enquiry. Use the window prices for the agreed glazing only; roof treatment and access around a thatched extension need a separate specialist assessment.
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.

Separate the different finishes on your home
Brick, render, cladding, tile-hanging and timber are not interchangeable surfaces. Mark the sections you want cleaned on a wide photograph and add close-ups. Ask the provider to name the work on each finish, including anything excluded from the price.

Include additions to the original house
A garage, lean-to, conservatory or rear extension may add glass and gutters while reducing the working space below upstairs windows. Include those additions in the same set of photographs. Ask whether their roofs, gutter runs and downpipes are included in each proposal.
