FAQs

1. What types of roofing work does Seam Roofing provide?
We specialise in standing-seam metal roofing and cladding solutions for residential, commercial and industrial projects. Our work covers new builds, extensions, refurbishments and architectural metal roofs.

2. Which materials do you work with?
We install high-quality metals including aluminium, copper, zinc and coated steel.

3. Which geographic areas do you serve?
Based in the North East of England (Boldon Colliery / Tyne & Wear), we cover a wide region — including Newcastle, Sunderland, Yorkshire, the Midlands, and beyond.

4. Are you accredited/qualified?
Yes. We are approved by the Federation of Traditional Metal Roofing Contractors (FTMRC) and accredited under the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS).

5. How does the quoting process work?
Once you get in touch (via email or phone), we’ll arrange an initial consultation or site visit to assess your project, talk through design/materials, and provide a detailed quote. (You might want to add details here: turnaround time, what’s included, deposit rules, etc.)

6. What kind of warranty or guarantee do you offer?
We work with leading material suppliers and follow best-practice standards. For specific warranty length and cover (for both workmanship and materials), we’ll supply full details in the contract and specifications. (You may want to add: “Insurance-backed warranty available”, “X years workmanship guarantee” etc.)

7. How long will my roof project take?
Project duration depends on size, complexity, material choice, and weather/ access conditions. We will provide an estimated timeline in your quote and keep you updated throughout the job.

8. What happens if there are unexpected issues (e.g., structural repairs, weather delays)?
We’ll communicate any unforeseen issues as soon as we discover them, discuss any necessary variation (cost/time) with you, and proceed only with your agreement. Good communication is key to avoiding surprises.

9. How do I maintain a standing-seam metal roof?
Metal roofs are typically low-maintenance compared with traditional options. We will provide recommendations (e.g., inspection frequency, clearing debris, checking flashing/seals) during hand-over. If you prefer, we can also offer ongoing maintenance services.

10. What’s involved in the removal/disposal of the old roof?
If your project is a re-roof, the old material removal and safe disposal will be handled by us (unless stated otherwise). The quote will specify what’s included: scaffolding, removal, disposal, access, waste rental etc.

11. Are you licensed to work at height, insured and safe?
Yes — as accredited contractors we comply with health and safety standards, hold appropriate liability insurance, and ensure scaffolding/access is safe and compliant. FTMRC

12. Can you work on listed buildings or architectural projects?
Yes — our expertise with metal roofing and cladding makes us well-suited to architectural or heritage projects. We can advise on material suitability and finish to match design/heritage requirements.
