Roofer in Bramley
Bramley sits inside my normal working patch, so getting out to look at something here is straightforward rather than a special trip. That matters when water is coming in and you need somebody the same day.
Send a photo before I come out if you can. Nine times out of ten I can tell you roughly what it is and what it should cost from the picture, which saves us both a trip.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Bramley
Most of the housing here is Victorian and Edwardian terrace, a good share of it back-to-back, and that means natural slate hung on softwood battens with tall brick stacks and a back addition running off the rear. The roof line is shared with the neighbours, so what happens on their slope tends to arrive on yours.
The failure that defines these roofs is nail sickness. The nails corrode before the slate does, slates start letting go one at a time, and you get a slipped slate a year until somebody re-hooks a whole slope at once. Past that point, repairs are a drip feed that costs more than the job.

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 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.
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.
