Roofer in Lovell Park
I would rather be the roofer you ring about something minor in Lovell Park than the one you ring when a ceiling has come down. The first is an hour. The second is a room, and usually a slope of roof as well.
I quote in writing before anything starts, and the number on the quote is the number on the invoice. If I get up there and find something underneath that changes it, you get a phone call, not a surprise at the end.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Lovell Park
The stock round here is mainly nineteenth century terrace, built in long runs with a continuous roof line and a rear outrigger on most of them. Natural slate, softwood battens, brick stacks, and a valley where the outrigger meets the main slope. None of it was built to be reached easily.
The failure that defines these roofs is nail sickness. The nails corrode before the slate does, slates start letting go one at a time, and you get a slipped slate a year until somebody re-hooks a whole slope at once. Past that point, repairs are a drip feed that costs more than the job.

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.
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.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. I come out, look at the roof properly, and tell you what it needs. If it does not need doing, I will say so.
How quickly can you come out?
For a leak, usually the same day or the next morning. I will get it watertight first and sort the proper repair once the weather allows.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured for public liability. Ask to see the certificate and I will send it over before I start.
