Roofer in Holbeck
No call centre, no salesman, no finance forms. If you ring about a roof in Holbeck you get me, and if I cannot get to you for a fortnight I will say that rather than book you in and not turn up.
Everything is sheeted at the end of the day. Your house does not get left open overnight because the weather turned or the job overran.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Holbeck
Most of the housing here is Victorian and Edwardian terrace, a good share of it back-to-back, and that means natural slate hung on softwood battens with tall brick stacks and a back addition running off the rear. The roof line is shared with the neighbours, so what happens on their slope tends to arrive on yours.
The valley between the main roof and the back addition is where most of these leak. It collects everything off both slopes, it is usually lead that has been patched at least once, and the damp it causes shows up in the back bedroom rather than under the valley itself.

What is nail sickness, and does my roof have it?
It is corroded nails letting go of otherwise sound slate. The tell is slates slipping in different places every year rather than in one spot after a storm. Once a slope is doing that, re-hooking the whole slope at once is cheaper than the repeat call-outs.
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.
