Roofer in Brighouse
A lot of what I do around Brighouse is telling people their roof is fine. Not every mark on a ceiling is the roof, and not every roof a firm has condemned needs replacing. Getting that right saves more money than any quote ever will.
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 Brighouse.

Tall stacks and steep streets in Brighouse
Stone-built terrace on hillsides, largely, with stone slate or a later concrete tile re-cover, and streets steep enough that getting to the roof is half the job. The stacks are tall because they served back-to-back fireplaces, and they stand well proud of the ridge into whatever the weather is doing.
Those stacks are the recurring job: repointing, re-flaunching, and lead flashing where they pass through the roof. Water that gets into a stack does not stay in the stack, and the damp patch it causes is often on the other side of the wall from where the fault is.

The damp is in the bedroom but you say the stack is the problem.
Water that gets into a chimney stack travels inside it and comes out wherever it finds a way, which is often nowhere near the fault. That is why I look in the loft before I look at the ceiling, and why guessing from the damp patch gets repairs done twice.
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.
