Solar panels on your roof

Solar panels put fixings through a roof. The electrical side is one trade; keeping the roof watertight around dozens of brackets is a roofing job, and it is where many problems start.

Tell us about the roof and what you are planning. One roofer in your area who does roof-mounted solar, or works alongside solar installers, gets your enquiry.

Signs you need this

• Planning a solar installation on a long run, tile or membrane roof
• An existing solar array that leaks at the mounts
• A re-roof you want to coordinate with new panels
• A roof that may need strengthening or repairs before panels go on

What the roofer will do

1. Assess the roof's condition and remaining life before panels go on
2. Mount and flash the brackets correctly for the roof material
3. Coordinate with the electrical installer on layout and timing

How it works with us

1. You tell us the job. Where the house is, what you have noticed, how urgent it is, and a photo if it is safe to take one.
2. A person checks it. Someone on our team reads every enquiry. We are not a form that forwards itself.
3. One roofer gets it. A roofer who works in your area and does this kind of job. Only one, so you are not fielding ten calls.
4. They contact you. Usually within a working day, to talk through the job and arrange a look.
