Know the number before we knock on your door.

Answer six questions and this works out a realistic range using our current rates. It is an estimate, not a quote, but it is the same arithmetic we do on site. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to send it.

1

What needs doing?

If you are not sure, pick the closest and we will sort it out on site.

2

How big is the footprint?

Roughly the floor area under the roof, including verandah or carport. A standard four bedroom home is around 220 square metres. Pitch is added in the next step, so do not try to allow for the slope here.

3

How steep is it?

Drag until the drawing looks like your house. Pitch matters more than most people expect, because a steeper roof has more surface on it than the plan suggests.

Anything else while we are up there?

Doing these at the same time saves a second scaffold hire.
