Roofer in Shipley
Roofing work in Shipley and the streets around it. One roofer, quoting and doing the job, which means the person who prices it is the person on the roof and there is nobody in between to blame.
Photographs of what I found go with the invoice, whether it was what we expected or not. You cannot see your own roof, so the only alternative is taking somebody's word for it, and that is how people end up paying for work nobody did.
What I do most in Shipley
Roofs around here
Tall stacks and steep streets in Shipley
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 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.
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.
