Do I book a roofer; general builder or individual tradesmen?

Question

Hi
We are self-building a two storey extension on our semi-detached house. We are nearly up to the wall-plate of 1st floor and looking at arranging quotes for roof-work.

Our planning permission is for changing the roof from a gable to hipped roof with 2 veluxes added; a new gable roof to the 1st floor extension. Plus a dormer.  Any original roof remaining, may need to be replaced (ridge tiles definitely)?  

I've emailed a few roofers but not getting much response back.  Should I be contacting general builders instead or arranging individual tradesmen?

I expect lead in times will be long so prepared for any wait.  Structural engineer plans also completed.

Hi I would be inclined to get intouch with a carpenter for the timber work and once that's completed get a roofer to come in and and felt ,battn and tile the roof that's the correct way of going about it or in turn a multitrader like myself that can complete the whole project without having to use multiple different trades
Many thanks

Hi. Going off what you have said there, I think you should book a specialist roofer for this job. Rather than an all round builder. The last finishing product is the roof. That’s what’s in show so would need to be good
