Roofer in Idle
Whether it is a repair, a flat roof on an extension or a full strip and re-roof, I cover Idle as part of my usual round. Free quote, written before anything starts, and the quote is the price.
I would rather do a repair well than sell you a replacement you did not need. It is a smaller invoice and it is why the phone keeps ringing in Idle.
What I do most in Idle
Roofs around here
Tall stacks and steep streets in Idle
Stone-built terrace on hillsides, largely, with stone slate or a later concrete tile re-cover, and streets steep enough that getting to the roof is half the job. The stacks are tall because they served back-to-back fireplaces, and they stand well proud of the ridge into whatever the weather is doing.
Access is the thing that decides the price here. Two quotes for the same repair can differ by hundreds purely on how somebody plans to reach it safely on a street with a gradient and no room for a scaffold. That is a fair difference rather than a markup, and it is worth asking about.

The damp is in the bedroom but you say the stack is the problem.
Water that gets into a chimney stack travels inside it and comes out wherever it finds a way, which is often nowhere near the fault. That is why I look in the loft before I look at the ceiling, and why guessing from the damp patch gets repairs done twice.
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.
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.
