As a roofer, your work could range from (re-)slating the roof on a house, to restoring the lead sheets on an old (or new) building.

Work activities

Sloped roof - slating using traditional (or synthetic) slates

Typical duties include:
• removing or repairing broken slates (stripping)
• checking that the roof timbers are sound
• measuring and cutting materials to the correct size and shape
• recovering the roof - laying strips of felt onto timbers, then re-fitting rows (courses) of slates
• cutting and fitting lead flashings around chimney stacks and adjoining walls
• sealing roof joints with mortar, for example on ridges and hips to make jobs watertight.

You might also be trained in more specialist roofing techniques such as leadwork, which involves covering a roof using lead rolls (often seen on churches) and thatching, where you would use natural materials to cover a roof. See the profile for thatcher in the Related Careers section for more details about this role.
You would usually work on jobs with other craftspeople, such as joiners and plumbers.

Working hours and conditions
- Your typical working week would be around 40 hours, but may be longer during the summer months. Overtime may be available.
- You would work at heights, using ladders, scaffolding and safety equipment like a hard hat and knee-pads. The job is physically demanding and dirty, and you would be exposed to all weather conditions.
- You would travel from site to site.
- Many building contractors will want you to have a SCC/VCA certificate before you can work on their sites. The certificate is proof of your ability to carry out the job safely.
