Roof repair

Hi

A few tiles blew off 

Roofer inspected - no movement on other tiles. No other significant signs of damage, just general weathering wear and tear externally. 
Small cracks in the mortar of the verge, valley and above lead flashing. 

£420

What questions should we ask the roofer, perhaps.... 

What materials are used ie type of tile? 

Is scaffolding required? though there is ease of access as it is a bungalow. 

Are you insured, including general liability (damage to property)? 

How is waste been disposed? 

Is it yourself doing the work or a subcontractor? 

Is there any hidden costs? 
I suppose when work is started areas of concern could be uncovered!

    Maybe best to ask the roofer and get a quote rather than a estimate 
    A thankyou is payment enough .
