Roofer in Bramham
I work across Bramham regularly, usually on repairs rather than full re-roofs. Most jobs here start as one slipped tile or a damp patch on a ceiling, and get sorted in a morning if somebody looks at them early enough.
Photographs of what I found go with the invoice, whether it was what we expected or not. You cannot see your own roof, so the only alternative is taking somebody's word for it, and that is how people end up paying for work nobody did.

Stone slate, and what it means in Bramham
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.
Stone slate does not fail the way tile does. It slips when the pegs and nails holding it give up, and the repair is finding matching reclaimed stone rather than ordering off a merchant shelf. That sourcing is the cost driver, and it is why no national price guide gets close on these houses.

Why does matching reclaimed stone cost so much?
Because it has to be found rather than ordered. Stone slate varies by quarry and by age, and getting a match that will not stand out for the next century means sourcing from reclamation rather than a merchant. That search is the cost, not the labour.
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.
