Roofer in Arthington
Roof problems in Arthington rarely announce themselves. They show up as a mark on a ceiling months after the tile actually moved. By the time it is visible inside, the felt underneath has usually been wet for a while.
I quote in writing before anything starts, and the number on the quote is the number on the invoice. If I get up there and find something underneath that changes it, you get a phone call, not a surprise at the end.

What I do most in Arthington
Roofs around here
Stone slate, and what it means in Arthington
Stone country. The roofs are local gritstone slate, laid biggest at the bottom and smallest at the ridge, on structure built to carry a covering several times the weight of a modern tile. Much of it is listed, in a conservation area, or both, and that governs the job from the start.
Exposure is the difference out here. These roofs take weather the city ones never see, so ridges and verges work loose sooner and a gale that costs someone in town a tile can take a run of them off a hillside roof. After wind is when most of these calls come.

Can I replace stone slate with something lighter?
Usually not, on two counts. In a conservation area the material is generally not your choice, and the rafters were sized for the weight of stone, so changing the covering changes how the whole roof behaves. Both get checked before anything is quoted.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. I come out, look at the roof properly, and tell you what it needs. If it does not need doing, I will say so.
How quickly can you come out?
For a leak, usually the same day or the next morning. I will get it watertight first and sort the proper repair once the weather allows.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured for public liability. Ask to see the certificate and I will send it over before I start.
Will I be dealing with you or a salesman?
Me. I quote the job, I do the job, and I am the one you ring afterwards. No call centre and no lads you have never met on your roof.
