For a Dumfries cottage, low eaves do not mean that every gutter or roof section has the same access. Show original and added parts together, identify different roof surfaces and have extension gutters included explicitly in the comparison.
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.
Crichton’s cottages and later additions
Historic Environment Scotland describes the Dairy Cottages at Crichton Royal Farm on the southern outskirts of Dumfries as single-storey sandstone homes with slate roofs; one has a later flat-roofed brick addition. This is one documented local example. Use the features that match your own home when preparing the enquiry.

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.

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.
