AI research disclosure

Articles on Roof Explained are AI-researched using Claude (Anthropic) and human-reviewed before publication. We cite primary sources for every factual claim (trade guides, manufacturer specs, Building Regulations). We update articles when data changes. Last-reviewed dates are shown on every page.

Not professional advice

This site provides general information, not professional advice. Every roofing project is different. Factors we can't account for: your specific roof structure, local planning rules, building condition, access constraints.

Always consult a qualified roofer before starting work. For listed buildings or conservation areas, check with your local planning authority.

Cost estimates

Cost ranges in our guides are drawn from Checkatrade averages and FMB rate guides. They're typical UK figures, not quotes for your specific project. Actual costs depend on your location, roof size, access difficulty and contractor rates.

No endorsements

We don't accept paid placements, affiliate commissions or product sponsorships. When we mention specific manufacturers (Marley, Redland, etc), it's because they're widely used in the UK, not because they've paid us.

Accuracy

We verify facts against primary sources. If you spot an error, email hello@roofexplained.co.uk with the correct data and a source. We'll fix it.

Liability

We're not liable for decisions you make based on this site. This is an information resource, not a substitute for professional advice.
