Roofer in Meanwood
Most people searching for roofers in Meanwood want the same thing: somebody who will actually turn up, look at the roof properly, and give a straight answer about whether it needs doing. That is the whole offer.
Emergencies get made watertight first and repaired properly afterwards, on a dry day. Doing both in one wet visit is how a repair fails a year later, and I would rather come twice.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Meanwood
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 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.
