Roofer in Halton
Roofing in Halton, 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 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.

Why Halton 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.

Is dry verge worth it instead of mortar?
On a house like this, generally yes. Mortar at the gable edge cracks and lets wind under the tiles, and it is the most common reason tiles come off in a gale. Dry verge is a permanent fix and is cheap to do while somebody is already up there.
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.
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.
