Roofing Job Sheet

Who this is for

The sheet for a job that happens on a roof and stops when the weather says so. It records each elevation or area worked on, how access was arranged, every spell lost to weather, and totals the labour and materials underneath.

Roofing contractors and small roofing firms doing repairs, re-covers and flat roof work, who need to show a customer why a two-day job took four.

What this helps you track

• Each elevation or area worked on, with what was found and what was done
• How the roof was accessed — scaffold, tower, ladder or platform — and who supplied it
• Time lost to weather, dated and totalled, so delays are evidenced not argued
• Labour by roofer and hours, priced at your own rate
• Tiles, felt, membrane, timber and fixings used, with quantities and cost

How to use it

1. Fill in the job number, customer, site and contact, name the roofers on site and describe the roof — type, covering and pitch.
2. Write down the access arrangement and who supplied and inspected it, and keep the access equipment paperwork with this sheet.
3. Take each elevation or area in turn: what you found, what you did, how much of it, and whether it is finished.
4. Log every stoppage on the day it happens, with the conditions and the hours lost. Do this at the time — nobody remembers it a fortnight later.
5. Enter the labour hours against your rate and the materials with quantities, check the totals, and have the customer sign for the work.

Formats

• Printable PDF (A4 and US Letter)
• Fillable PDF with form fields
• Fill in online, saved in your browser
• Excel / Google Sheets workbook

The printable is laid out inside a box that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the two files are identical and neither one is scaled. The fillable PDF has real form fields. The workbook uses plain formulas only — SUM, IF, COUNTIF and the like — so it opens in Excel, LibreOffice and Google Sheets without anything breaking, and every calculated cell is grey so you can see which figures it worked out.

How to print

Download the A4 or US Letter file to match the paper in your printer, open it in a PDF reader and print at 100% — not "fit to page", which shrinks the writing space. Both files leave a 14 mm margin, which clears the unprintable edge on home printers. To print the online version with your entries in it, use the Print this sheet button, which prints only the sheet and none of the page around it. More on printing.

Questions

Why is there a weather table?

Because roofing is the trade where lost days are hardest to prove and easiest to dispute. A dated line written on the day, with the conditions and the hours lost, is worth far more than a recollection at the end of the job.

Does this cover the scaffold inspection?

No. It records what access was used, who supplied it and that it was checked before work started. The inspection itself belongs on a scaffold inspection record, kept alongside this sheet.

How do I measure the work?

However you price it. The quantity column takes your number and the unit column takes your unit — square metres, linear metres, or simply the number of tiles or sheets. No measurement or rate is supplied here.

Can one sheet cover a re-roof over several weeks?

Yes — keep the job number the same and add labour lines as the job runs. The printable runs to a second page, and the workbook takes as many rows as you need.
