Roofer in Beeston
Roofing in Beeston, priced from what is actually up there rather than from the doorstep. I go up and look, because the difference between a repair and a re-roof is usually invisible from the pavement.
If it turns out you do not need the work doing yet, I will say that. It costs me a job and it is the reason most of my work comes from somebody passing my number on.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Beeston
The stock round here is mainly nineteenth century terrace, built in long runs with a continuous roof line and a rear outrigger on most of them. Natural slate, softwood battens, brick stacks, and a valley where the outrigger meets the main slope. None of it was built to be reached easily.
The valley between the main roof and the back addition is where most of these leak. It collects everything off both slopes, it is usually lead that has been patched at least once, and the damp it causes shows up in the back bedroom rather than under the valley itself.

What is nail sickness, and does my roof have it?
It is corroded nails letting go of otherwise sound slate. The tell is slates slipping in different places every year rather than in one spot after a storm. Once a slope is doing that, re-hooking the whole slope at once is cheaper than the repeat call-outs.
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.
Do you do small jobs?
Yes, and they are most of what I do. A single tile, a bit of guttering, a chimney flaunching. The jobs bigger firms will not turn out for.
How much does a roof repair cost in Leeds?
Most small repairs, a slipped tile or a bit of flashing, land between £150 and £400. A bigger job needs a look first. I quote in writing before anything starts, and the quote is the price.
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.
