Roofer in Belle Isle
Roof problems in Belle Isle 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 would rather do a repair well than sell you a replacement you did not need. It is a smaller invoice and it is why the phone keeps ringing in Belle Isle.

Flat roofs are what fail first in Belle Isle
Mostly houses built from the late forties onward: low-pitched concrete tile, simple gables, and a collection of later additions on the back and side. The extensions, garages and porches are where the roofing work is, because they are younger than the house and have aged worse.
Garages are the ones people leave longest, because nobody sleeps under them. By the time the felt has split and the deck underneath has gone soft, the job is a new deck as well as a new covering, and it started as a morning of work two winters earlier.

The leak is where the extension meets the house. Why there?
Because that junction relies on flashing rather than on the covering itself, and it moves as the two structures settle at different rates. It is the single most common leak on this type of house and it is a repair rather than a new 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.
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.
