Post a placement I’m looking for workHiring roofers in Derby: FAQs
Can I see reviews of roofers in Derby before hiring?
After each placement, hirers rate workers across six categories — including quality of work, reliability and timekeeping — so you can review a worker's full track record before confirming them.
Can I hire specialist roofing trades in Derby, not just general roofers?
Yes. Placements in Derby can target any of the seven disciplines on the platform — from flat and pitched roofing through to leadwork & heritage and green roofing — and matching uses the specific systems each worker has declared.
What does it cost to hire a roofer in Derby?
You set the day rate yourself when you post the placement, so labour costs in Derby are in your control. Roofing Source adds a sliding platform fee on top of the day rate you set: 30% for days 1–2, 20% for days 3–7 and 15% from day 8. The worker always receives their full agreed day rate — the fee is never deducted from their pay.
Can I hire a roofing subcontractor in Derby rather than an individual operative?
Yes. Roofing Source covers both individual operatives and subcontractor companies in Derbyshire and the East Midlands. Subcontractor companies go through the same vetting plus a Companies House check, and you choose which type of labour you want when posting.
