Roofer in Thorner
No call centre, no salesman, no finance forms. If you ring about a roof in Thorner you get me, and if I cannot get to you for a fortnight I will say that rather than book you in and not turn up.
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.

Stone slate, and what it means in Thorner
These are gritstone villages, and the roofs are stone slate: heavy, graded in diminishing courses so the biggest slabs sit at the eaves, and built on rafters sized for that weight. A lot of these streets sit inside conservation areas, which decides what is allowed back on before anyone talks about cost.
Exposure is the difference out here. These roofs take weather the city ones never see, so ridges and verges work loose sooner and a gale that costs someone in town a tile can take a run of them off a hillside roof. After wind is when most of these calls come.

Why does matching reclaimed stone cost so much?
Because it has to be found rather than ordered. Stone slate varies by quarry and by age, and getting a match that will not stand out for the next century means sourcing from reclamation rather than a merchant. That search is the cost, not the labour.
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.
