New roof - do I need to compensate tenants for the disruption?

[RoofIssue]

I have been renting out my mum's house for a couple of years, as she had to move into a nursing home, sadly following a stroke.

I am having the roof tiles, soffits and guttering replaced. This will take five days, and need scaffolding. The roofers will not need access to the house.

Should I offer the tenants a rent reduction for the week? Although it doesn't really impinge on their enjoyment of the property, I wasn't sure what I should do. Thank you in advance for your advice.

that is very important!

while property rental is a business and you want to maximise returns, be careful not to kick the gift horse in the teeth. One month's void between tenants will make a big dent in your return, plus the costs of the change.
