Your roof with AMBITFrom the first conversation to delivery on site

Everyday life unfolds beneath a good roof. You come home, make dinner and hear voices in the next room. Your roof should simply let you feel at home.

Before that happens, materials need choosing, an order needs calculating and delivery needs arranging. At AMBIT, we help put these things in order. You have an adviser who gets to know your home and guides you through each stage of the purchase.

Let us show you how it works – from the first “I’m building a house” to materials arriving on your site.

1. We start by talking about your home

You do not need a product list or technical vocabulary. Start by telling us what you are building or renovating, where it is and when you plan to carry out the work.

We will ask about the roof’s appearance, how you will use the loft and your budget. If you already have a tile or metal covering in mind, we will look at it together. If you are still exploring, we will help narrow the choice.

After this conversation, you know where to start and what information is needed next.

2. We look at your design or arrange a measurement visit

If you have a design, we use it to prepare a material schedule. We clarify whether the documents reflect what will be built and which details need further discussion.

For a renovation or when dimensions need checking, we can arrange a visit from a field adviser. They will look at the roof, gather information for the quote and discuss the next steps with you.

This is when questions arise about roof windows, chimneys, drainage and other elements affecting the order. If decisions are needed from the designer or contractor, we explain what to agree with them.

You have a basis for material selection and a quote suited to your roof.

3. We select materials and explain the quote

Now we can discuss specific solutions. We show the differences between roof coverings and help choose materials to suit the design, appearance you want and budget.

We assemble the agreed scope: covering, necessary accessories, roof windows, gutters or insulation. Every roof has different needs, so we explain the reasons behind our proposal.

We also discuss transport, unloading, pallets and other agreed items. If some costs still depend on measurements or arrangements on site, we explain what must be clarified before ordering.

A good price matters. We help you find savings through sensible product choices and comparison of options, taking the whole purchase into account.

You know what the quote includes, what the individual items cost and which decisions remain.

4. We agree the order and coordinate with your roofer

Already have a roofer? We can discuss the material schedule and delivery needs with them to prepare materials for the agreed works.

If you are still looking, we help you find a contractor among the roofers we work with. Before work starts, you agree the scope, timing and terms with them.

Before you confirm the order, we explain the purchase terms: selected products, quantities, availability, payments, pallets, returns and any additional orders. If the offer also includes installation, its scope and terms are set out separately in the order documents.

You know what you are ordering, who will build the roof and what happens next.

5. We plan delivery to your site

Materials should arrive when the site is ready to receive them. We therefore agree a date that takes product availability and the work schedule into account.

We check access and unloading space. If a truck with a loading crane is needed, we establish whether it can be used on your plot. For phased deliveries, we agree their sequence.

On receipt, compare the delivery with the paperwork and report any differences or damage you notice. Your adviser remains your contact for the order, including when another delivery needs arranging.

You have an agreed delivery plan and a contact who knows your order.

6. After buying, you still know whom to call

Keep your purchase documents and warranty terms. It is also worth agreeing with the contractor how the completed work will be handed over and how later roof inspections will be arranged.

If you have a question about materials, documents, an additional order or an issue with your purchase, you can return to your AMBIT adviser. We help establish the next steps and the right point of contact. Material warranty terms and responsibility for workmanship depend on the product and the scope of the agreement.

You are left with documents, clear arrangements and contact with people who know your roof.
