Roofer in Oulton
If somebody has already quoted you for work in Oulton and the number felt high, get a second opinion. Half the quotes I am asked to check are for a full re-roof on a roof that needs a day of repairs.
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.
Roofs around here
Flat roofs are what fail first in Oulton
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.
Garages are the ones people leave longest, because nobody sleeps under them. By the time the felt has split and the deck underneath has gone soft, the job is a new deck as well as a new covering, and it started as a morning of work two winters earlier.

Call 07770 902292Common questions
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.
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.
