The problem

Roofing jobs have too many variables to quote from memory

Tile quantities, felt, battens, flashing, ridge materials and scaffold hire can all affect the estimate. A written quote helps set out the work, exclusions and labour before a customer decides. For insurance-related repairs, confirm the insurer’s separate documentation requirements rather than assuming a quote guarantees claim approval.

The solution

Built for the way roofers actually price work

Pitched Roof Line Items

Structure a full re-roof quote: strip and dispose, felt, battens, tiles, ridge tiles, lead flashing, and fixings — each line costed and totalled automatically.

Flat Roof Quote Structure

GRP and EPDM jobs need a completely different line structure. Build OSB deck, drip edge, fibreglass mat, resin, topcoat, and trim as their own sections — no rigid templates.

Scaffold as a Transparent Cost

Show scaffold erection, hire and dismantling as separate quote items. State the assumed hire period and how extensions would be handled in the written scope.

Itemised Roofing Quote PDFs

Create branded client-facing PDFs with roofing scope, materials and labour. For claim-related work, check the insurer’s evidence requirements separately; approval is not guaranteed.

Labour Costing by Phase

Add your labourer and apprentice rates. Assign hours per phase — stripping, felting, tiling, leadwork, making good. CostForge calculates the total without a spreadsheet.

Illustrative quote examples

From a vague total to a clearer roofing quote

These are example wording comparisons, not verified customer results or insurance approval outcomes.

Roof replacement — one total without a breakdown of materials, access or labour.

Re-roof scope: removal and disposal, felt, battens, tiles, ridge, flashing, scaffold allowance and labour as separate editable items.

Scaffolding included — no stated hire duration or variation assumption.

Scaffold: erection, assumed hire period and dismantling as separate items; explain how extensions would be priced in the terms.

Storm-damage repairs — total price without a clear list of affected areas or materials.

Repair quote: identify affected roof areas, work included, materials and labour. Confirm any additional insurer requirements separately.

Reusable quote templates

Reuse roof repair and re-roof packages with scaffold included.

Save common pitched roof, flat roof or repair scopes with scaffold, waste, materials and labour phases included. Import the template into a new quote and adjust measurements, access and product choices.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from roofers evaluating quoting software

Can I quote pitched and flat roof work differently?: Yes. Use separate sections and item structures for pitched roofs, flat roofs, repairs, leadwork and other roofing scopes.
Can I include scaffold and waste costs?: Yes. Scaffold, skip or waste disposal costs can be shown as explicit items so they are agreed before work begins.
Can CostForge help with insurance-style roofing quotes?: CostForge can produce itemised client quote PDFs for roofing work. Check any additional insurer or loss-adjuster documentation requirements separately; the quote does not guarantee claim approval.
Can I save a re-roof quote template?: Yes. Save a full re-roof or repair package as a reusable template and edit it for the next property.
