Roofer in Roundhay
The jobs I get called to in Roundhay are mostly small. A slipped tile, a wet patch that appears after heavy rain, a gutter running down the wall. They stay small if somebody looks at them, and they do not if nobody does.
If it turns out you do not need the work doing yet, I will say that. It costs me a job and it is the reason most of my work comes from somebody passing my number on.

Why Roundhay roofs need pointing more than tiles
This is interwar and 1930s semi country: concrete interlocking tile, hipped roofs more often than gabled, and generous eaves with the original clay or early plastic guttering still on plenty of them. The tiles themselves are tough and routinely outlive everything holding them down.
The other one is the verge, the mortar edge where the tiles meet the gable. It cracks, it lets wind under the tiles, and on a windy night that is how tiles end up in the garden. Dry verge fixes it permanently and is worth doing while somebody is up there anyway.

Is dry verge worth it instead of mortar?
On a house like this, generally yes. Mortar at the gable edge cracks and lets wind under the tiles, and it is the most common reason tiles come off in a gale. Dry verge is a permanent fix and is cheap to do while somebody is already up there.
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.
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.
