Roofer in Eccup
I work across Eccup 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.
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.

What I do most in Eccup
Roofs around here
Stone slate, and what it means in Eccup
Stone country. The roofs are local gritstone slate, laid biggest at the bottom and smallest at the ridge, on structure built to carry a covering several times the weight of a modern tile. Much of it is listed, in a conservation area, or both, and that governs the job from the start.
Exposure is the difference out here. These roofs take weather the city ones never see, so ridges and verges work loose sooner and a gale that costs someone in town a tile can take a run of them off a hillside roof. After wind is when most of these calls come.

Can I replace stone slate with something lighter?
Usually not, on two counts. In a conservation area the material is generally not your choice, and the rafters were sized for the weight of stone, so changing the covering changes how the whole roof behaves. Both get checked before anything is quoted.
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.
