Roofer in Kippax
The jobs I get called to in Kippax are mostly small. A slipped tile, a wet patch that appears after heavy rain, a gutter running down the wall. They stay small if somebody looks at them, and they do not if nobody does.
Send a photo before I come out if you can. Nine times out of ten I can tell you roughly what it is and what it should cost from the picture, which saves us both a trip.
Roofs around here
Flat roofs are what fail first in Kippax
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.
Shallow pitches are less forgiving than steep ones. Water moves off slowly, so a lifted tile or a blocked gutter backs up rather than draining away, and the same fault that would be cosmetic on a steep Victorian roof puts water inside on one of these.

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.
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.
