Roofer in Great Preston
I get to Great Preston often enough that a look at your roof is not a favour, it is a Tuesday. Free quote, written down, and I will tell you if it can wait a year rather than pretending it cannot.
Old tiles get matched rather than replaced with the nearest thing on the shelf. A patch in the wrong colour is visible from the street for the next thirty years and costs the same to do properly on the day.
Roofs around here
Flat roofs are what fail first in Great Preston
Post-war estate housing dominates round here, which means shallower pitches, concrete tile laid to a tighter gauge, and far more flat roof than anywhere older: extensions, garages, porches and canopies, most of them added later and not always by a roofer.
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.

The leak is where the extension meets the house. Why there?
Because that junction relies on flashing rather than on the covering itself, and it moves as the two structures settle at different rates. It is the single most common leak on this type of house and it is a repair rather than a new roof.
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.
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.
