Roofer in Little London
The jobs I get called to in Little London 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.
Photographs of what I found go with the invoice, whether it was what we expected or not. You cannot see your own roof, so the only alternative is taking somebody's word for it, and that is how people end up paying for work nobody did.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Little London
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.
Stacks are the other recurring job. A tall brick stack that served four fireplaces takes weather on every face, and when the flaunching cracks and the pointing goes, water tracks down inside the stack and appears in a chimney breast that has been dry for a century.

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.
