Roofer in Drighlington
I work across Drighlington 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.
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 Drighlington.
What I do most in Drighlington
Roofs around here
Tall stacks and steep streets in Drighlington
Mill town housing: stone terraces stepping up a hill, often with the front door on one level and the back yard a storey below it. Roofs are stone slate or a later re-cover in concrete tile, and the chimney stacks are tall, exposed and doing more work than anything else up there.
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.
