Roofers in Aberdeen: Renters vs homeowners

For homeowners:

You’re usually responsible for roof maintenance and repairs. Check if your home insurance covers storm damage, and keep hold of quotes, invoices and guarantees for future reference. If your property is leasehold, roofing may be the responsibility of the owner.

For renters:

Roof repairs are normally the landlord’s responsibility. If you spot damage - like a leak, missing slates or damp patches — report it to your landlord or letting agent straight away. They’ll arrange for a roofer to carry out the work. If the problem isn’t fixed, you may need to contact your local housing authority.
