Roofer in Wakefield
Roof problems in Wakefield 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.
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.

Two kinds of roof in Wakefield
An old centre with newer housing wrapped around it. Slate and stone on the streets near the middle, concrete tile on the estates further out, and a scattering of everything in between where infill has happened. Which one you have decides the job entirely.
On the older centre streets the constraint is usually what is allowed rather than what is possible. Like-for-like matters, materials have to be sourced rather than ordered, and that has to be established before a price means anything.

Do I need permission to change my roof covering?
On the older streets, quite possibly. Conservation area status and listing both restrict what can go back on, and like-for-like is usually the expectation. On the newer estates round the edge there is normally no such constraint. Worth establishing before anyone prices it.
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.
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.
