Roofer in Rothwell
The honest position on Rothwell: most of the roofers here are firms with a call centre and I am one man, so you get the person who priced the job doing the job, and a straight answer about when I can get there rather than a booking slot.
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.

Flat roofs are what fail first in Rothwell
Mostly houses built from the late forties onward: low-pitched concrete tile, simple gables, and a collection of later additions on the back and side. The extensions, garages and porches are where the roofing work is, because they are younger than the house and have aged worse.
The flat roofs are what fail first. Felt laid decades ago is long past it, and the join between a flat extension roof and the main house wall is where water gets in more than anywhere else on the property. On the pitched roofs it is usually verge and ridge rather than tiles.

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.
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.
