Roofer in Farsley
Whether it is a repair, a flat roof on an extension or a full strip and re-roof, I cover Farsley as part of my usual round. Free quote, written before anything starts, and the quote is the price.
Emergencies get made watertight first and repaired properly afterwards, on a dry day. Doing both in one wet visit is how a repair fails a year later, and I would rather come twice.

Why Farsley roofs need pointing more than tiles
Between-the-wars semis make up most of what I look at here. Concrete tile, a hip at each end more often than not, deep overhangs, and a roof that has usually never been touched beyond the odd tile. The covering is rarely the thing that has failed.
Hips are the giveaway. A hipped roof has far more ridge line than a gabled one, all of it bedded in mortar, so there is simply more to fail and more to re-bed. It is a day or two of work and it gets quoted as a re-roof more often than it should.

A firm said my 1930s roof needs stripping. Does it?
Often not. On these houses the concrete tiles usually outlive the mortar holding the ridges, hips and verges, so what looks like a failing roof is a pointing job. Get a second opinion before agreeing to a re-roof, and ask them to show you a tile that has actually failed.
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.
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.
