Roofer in Thornton
Roofing in Thornton, done by the man who quoted it. Repairs and gutters most weeks, flat roofs and re-roofs when they come up, and a straight answer either way about which one you need.
If it is a claim, I photograph the damage before anything is touched and write it up the way insurers ask for. Doing that after the repair is too late, and it is the most common reason a straightforward claim gets argued about.

Tall stacks and steep streets in Thornton
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.
Those stacks are the recurring job: repointing, re-flaunching, and lead flashing where they pass through the roof. Water that gets into a stack does not stay in the stack, and the damp patch it causes is often on the other side of the wall from where the fault is.

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 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.
