Roofer in Rastrick
If you are looking for roofers in Rastrick, you are most likely looking at one of three things: a leak that has just appeared, a roof that has been patched too many times, or gutters that have stopped coping. I cover all three, and I turn up myself.
Scaffolding, skips and making good are in the quote rather than added afterwards. A cheap price that grows once the job starts is not a cheap price.
What I do most in Rastrick
Roofs around here
Tall stacks and steep streets in Rastrick
Stone-built terrace on hillsides, largely, with stone slate or a later concrete tile re-cover, and streets steep enough that getting to the roof is half the job. The stacks are tall because they served back-to-back fireplaces, and they stand well proud of the ridge into whatever the weather is doing.
Where a stone roof has been re-covered in concrete tile at some point, the two behave differently and the junction between old and new is where it leaks. It is a common history on these houses and it is worth knowing about before anyone prices a repair from the ground.

The damp is in the bedroom but you say the stack is the problem.
Water that gets into a chimney stack travels inside it and comes out wherever it finds a way, which is often nowhere near the fault. That is why I look in the loft before I look at the ceiling, and why guessing from the damp patch gets repairs done twice.
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.
Do you do small jobs?
Yes, and they are most of what I do. A single tile, a bit of guttering, a chimney flaunching. The jobs bigger firms will not turn out for.
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.
