Roofer in Swillington
Roof problems in Swillington rarely announce themselves. They show up as a mark on a ceiling months after the tile actually moved. By the time it is visible inside, the felt underneath has usually been wet for a while.
Everything is sheeted at the end of the day. Your house does not get left open overnight because the weather turned or the job overran.

Flat roofs are what fail first in Swillington
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.

Call 07770 902292Common questions
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 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.
