Roofer in East Ardsley
Roofing in East Ardsley, priced from what is actually up there rather than from the doorstep. I go up and look, because the difference between a repair and a re-roof is usually invisible from the pavement.
If it is a claim, I photograph the damage before anything is touched and write it up the way insurers ask for. Doing that after the repair is too late, and it is the most common reason a straightforward claim gets argued about.

Flat roofs are what fail first in East Ardsley
Mostly houses built from the late forties onward: low-pitched concrete tile, simple gables, and a collection of later additions on the back and side. The extensions, garages and porches are where the roofing work is, because they are younger than the house and have aged worse.
Garages are the ones people leave longest, because nobody sleeps under them. By the time the felt has split and the deck underneath has gone soft, the job is a new deck as well as a new covering, and it started as a morning of work two winters earlier.

How long should a felt flat roof last?
Older felt was doing well to reach twenty years, and a lot of what I look at is well past that. Modern EPDM and GRP go considerably longer. If yours is original to a seventies or eighties extension, it is at the end of its life whether or not it is leaking yet.
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.
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.
