Roofer in West Ardsley
If you are looking for roofers in West Ardsley, you are most likely looking at one of three things: a leak that has just appeared, a roof that has been patched too many times, or gutters that have stopped coping. I cover all three, and I turn up myself.
Access matters more than people expect. Before I price anything in West Ardsley I want to see what is involved in getting to the roof safely, because that is usually the difference between two quotes that look wildly apart.

Flat roofs are what fail first in West Ardsley
Post-war estate housing dominates round here, which means shallower pitches, concrete tile laid to a tighter gauge, and far more flat roof than anywhere older: extensions, garages, porches and canopies, most of them added later and not always by a roofer.
Shallow pitches are less forgiving than steep ones. Water moves off slowly, so a lifted tile or a blocked gutter backs up rather than draining away, and the same fault that would be cosmetic on a steep Victorian roof puts water inside on one of these.

How long should a felt flat roof last?
Older felt was doing well to reach twenty years, and a lot of what I look at is well past that. Modern EPDM and GRP go considerably longer. If yours is original to a seventies or eighties extension, it is at the end of its life whether or not it is leaking yet.
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.
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.
