Roofer in Kirkstall
Whether it is a repair, a flat roof on an extension or a full strip and re-roof, I cover Kirkstall 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 Kirkstall.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Kirkstall
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.

Who pays when the leak is on the shared roof line?
Usually whoever owns the section the fault is on, but on a terrace the water rarely respects the boundary. I photograph what I find and where it is so there is something factual to show a neighbour, which settles most of these without anybody falling out.
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.
