Roofer in Tingley
Tingley sits inside my normal working patch, so getting out to look at something here is straightforward rather than a special trip. That matters when water is coming in and you need somebody the same day.
Scaffolding, skips and making good are in the quote rather than added afterwards. A cheap price that grows once the job starts is not a cheap price.

Why Tingley 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.
Which is why the work here is almost never the field of the roof. It is ridges, hips and verges, where bedding mortar that was thin to start with has had ninety winters of freeze and thaw. Being told a roof like this needs stripping is worth a second opinion, because usually it needs pointing.

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.
