Roofer in Chapel Allerton
Roof problems in Chapel Allerton 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.
If it turns out you do not need the work doing yet, I will say that. It costs me a job and it is the reason most of my work comes from somebody passing my number on.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Chapel Allerton
The stock round here is mainly nineteenth century terrace, built in long runs with a continuous roof line and a rear outrigger on most of them. Natural slate, softwood battens, brick stacks, and a valley where the outrigger meets the main slope. None of it was built to be reached easily.
The valley between the main roof and the back addition is where most of these leak. It collects everything off both slopes, it is usually lead that has been patched at least once, and the damp it causes shows up in the back bedroom rather than under the valley itself.

Who pays when the leak is on the shared roof line?
Usually whoever owns the section the fault is on, but on a terrace the water rarely respects the boundary. I photograph what I find and where it is so there is something factual to show a neighbour, which settles most of these without anybody falling out.
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.
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.
