Roofer in Woodkirk
I work across Woodkirk regularly, usually on repairs rather than full re-roofs. Most jobs here start as one slipped tile or a damp patch on a ceiling, and get sorted in a morning if somebody looks at them early enough.
Everything is sheeted at the end of the day. Your house does not get left open overnight because the weather turned or the job overran.

Flat roofs are what fail first in Woodkirk
Mostly houses built from the late forties onward: low-pitched concrete tile, simple gables, and a collection of later additions on the back and side. The extensions, garages and porches are where the roofing work is, because they are younger than the house and have aged worse.
The flat roofs are what fail first. Felt laid decades ago is long past it, and the join between a flat extension roof and the main house wall is where water gets in more than anywhere else on the property. On the pitched roofs it is usually verge and ridge rather than tiles.

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.
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.
