Roofer in Richmond Hill
Roofing in Richmond Hill, done by the man who quoted it. Repairs and gutters most weeks, flat roofs and re-roofs when they come up, and a straight answer either way about which one you need.
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 Richmond Hill
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 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.
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.
