Being a roofer is an important job where you work outdoors to build and repair the tops of buildings, known as roofs. Your main task is to make sure that buildings are safe and dry by installing different types of roofing materials like tiles, slates, or felt. This job often involves working at heights, using tools, and making sure everything is measured and fitted correctly so that the roof can withstand all sorts of weather, from rain and wind to sunshine. You might be working on new houses, repairing old ones, or even working on big commercial buildings. Roofers need to be careful and safety-conscious because of the heights involved. You also need to be fit and strong, as the job involves lifting heavy materials and being on your feet for most of the day. It is a very practical job, perfect for someone who enjoys hands-on work and seeing a finished product. You could work for a large building company, a smaller local roofing business, or even become self-employed once you have enough experience.
