Roofer in Bramhope
If you are looking for roofers in Bramhope, you are most likely looking at one of three things: a leak that has just appeared, a roof that has been patched too many times, or gutters that have stopped coping. I cover all three, and I turn up myself.
Old tiles get matched rather than replaced with the nearest thing on the shelf. A patch in the wrong colour is visible from the street for the next thirty years and costs the same to do properly on the day.

Stone slate, and what it means in Bramhope
These are gritstone villages, and the roofs are stone slate: heavy, graded in diminishing courses so the biggest slabs sit at the eaves, and built on rafters sized for that weight. A lot of these streets sit inside conservation areas, which decides what is allowed back on before anyone talks about cost.
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.

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.
