Roofer in Rodley
Most people searching for roofers in Rodley 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.
Access matters more than people expect. Before I price anything in Rodley I want to see what is involved in getting to the roof safely, because that is usually the difference between two quotes that look wildly apart.

Slate, stacks and back additions in Rodley
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.
Stacks are the other recurring job. A tall brick stack that served four fireplaces takes weather on every face, and when the flaunching cracks and the pointing goes, water tracks down inside the stack and appears in a chimney breast that has been dry for a century.

What is nail sickness, and does my roof have it?
It is corroded nails letting go of otherwise sound slate. The tell is slates slipping in different places every year rather than in one spot after a storm. Once a slope is doing that, re-hooking the whole slope at once is cheaper than the repeat call-outs.
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.
