Payment Structure

We get it, homeowners have been burned before. Hiring a stranger to work on your home is a big deal, and we know trust isn’t handed out easily. The truth is, it goes both ways.

As a small business, we can’t afford to take on the risk of non-payment, just a few missed payments could put us in a tough spot.

That’s why we’ve built a clear, three-stage payment structure that keeps things fair for everyone.

Payment structure applies to all projects over £500, anything less & Joseph James Roofing will provide materials up front, and will be made whole upon works completion.

For all projects over £500, an itemised invoice will be Emailed to the homeowner.

Example Below:

Here’s how it works:

Deposit (Upfront Costs) – This covers skips, scaffolding, materials, and any other essential expenses to get your project started. No surprises just the basics we need to begin.

50% Labour Payment (Midway Through the Job) – Once half of the work is done, we’ll invoice for 50% of the labour cost. This helps us keep the project moving smoothly without carrying all the financial burden.

Final 50% Labour Payment (Upon Completion) – The remaining balance is due once the job is finished to your satisfaction. No hidden fees, no last-minute charges—just fair payment for work delivered.

This approach keeps things transparent, protects both of us, and ensures we can keep doing great work for you and other homeowners. If you have any questions, just ask we’re always happy to chat.

Here is an example.

• We submit an invoice of £1,000 to you for works required.

• £500 labour, £500 materials. You accept the invoice, and instruct Joseph James Roofing to proceed with the works.

• You send Joseph James Roofing £500 as initial deposit payment for materials, we confirm payment has been received.

• Joseph James Roofing starts the works.

• Once 50% of the works is completed, you send Joseph James Roofing 50% of the labour cost (in this case £250).

• We continue with the works once we have received the 50% labour cost.

• Once the works are complete, and you are satisfied with the works, you send the remaining 50% labour cost (in this case £250).

• We confirm the payment has been received.

• All done! We thank you for using Joseph James Roofing services and kindly ask if you would provide a review for our future customers.
