Whether it is a repair, a flat roof on an extension or a full strip and re-roof, I cover Hawksworth as part of my usual round. Free quote, written before anything starts, and the quote is the price.
Scaffolding, skips and making good are in the quote rather than added afterwards. A cheap price that grows once the job starts is not a cheap price.

Stone slate, and what it means in Hawksworth
These are gritstone villages, and the roofs are stone slate: heavy, graded in diminishing courses so the biggest slabs sit at the eaves, and built on rafters sized for that weight. A lot of these streets sit inside conservation areas, which decides what is allowed back on before anyone talks about cost.
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.

Call 07770 902292Common questions
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.
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.
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.
