Stone slate, and what it means in Baildon
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.

Call 07770 902292Common questions
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.
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Guarantee length depends on the job and the materials, and it is written on the quote before you agree to anything.
How do I know if I need a repair or a whole new roof?
Age, spread and the state of the battens underneath. One slipped tile is a repair. Widespread slippage on a roof past fifty years old usually is not. I will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.
