What we take on

Nine jobs, and the same standard on every one.

Pick whichever sounds closest to your roof. Every page sets out what the job covers, how it runs on site, and what people ring up to ask first. If none of them quite fits, ring and describe it in your own words.

One firm, nine kinds of roof work

Bradford throws up more roof types per square mile than most cities in England. Back-to-back terraces where the covering runs straight over two houses, stone-fronted through terraces climbing the valley sides, Victorian villas in Heaton and Manningham with steep Welsh slate and long lead valleys, mill buildings converted into flats with acres of shallow roof and box gutters, moor-edge cottages above Thornton and Haworth taking weather head on, and post-war estates on their first covering. Every service page here sets out what the job involves on those buildings specifically, not on a generic house.

Repairs first, replacement only when it is honest

Most people who ring about a roof need a repair, and that is what they get quoted for. A slipped course, a perished flashing, a cracked flaunching or a valley that has split can be sorted in a day or two and guaranteed in writing. Where a covering has genuinely run out of life, you get the photographs that show it, and where it is a close call you get a price for both so the decision is yours rather than ours.

Materials matched to the building, not to the van

A soot-blackened gritstone terrace wants reclaimed stone slate and lime pointing. An Edwardian villa wants Welsh slate and lead. A 1960s semi wants a matched concrete tile and a dry-fixed ridge. A mill outrigger wants a single-ply or torch-on system with the falls corrected. Putting the wrong material on a Bradford roof is how you end up paying twice, and it is the thing we are most careful about at the survey.

Weather on the Pennine edge

Half the Bradford district sits high and open. Queensbury is above a thousand feet, Denholme, Cullingworth, Oxenhope and Stanbury are on the moor edge, and the Aire and Worth valleys funnel wind straight down them. That changes the specification: mechanical fixing rather than mortar on ridges and verges, heavier clips at the eaves, and lead rather than anything cheaper at the abutments. On exposed property we quote it that way and explain why.

What the paperwork looks like

A free survey with photographs, an itemised written quote within about a day, valid for 90 days. £5m public liability and £10m employer's liability, certificates on request. Completion photographs and a ten-year written workmanship guarantee at sign-off, plus any manufacturer warranties registered in your name. Free surveys and written quotes on everything, callouts seven days a week.

Roofing services: the questions that come up

  • Start with roof repairs. Almost every leak call begins there, and if the survey turns up something bigger, we say so with the photographs in front of you rather than quietly switching you onto a re-roof.
  • That is the sensible way to do it. Gutters, fascias and a chimney very often get done while the scaffold is already up for a strip, and doing them together is cheaper than three separate visits.
  • Yes. A couple of slipped slates, one length of gutter, a cracked flaunching. Small work is most of an average week and it is quoted and guaranteed exactly like a big job.
  • The roofs are, and the planning is. Mills, units and shops are mostly flat or shallow, they get a drone survey and a written report, and the work is phased around trading hours or stock rather than dropped on the business.
  • Ring and describe it in your own words. Nobody expects you to know whether it is a valley, a secret gutter or a parapet, and describing the stain on the ceiling is a perfectly good place to start.

Not sure what the roof needs?

Describe it over the phone. A roofer picks it up, and the survey is free anywhere from Haworth to the middle of Leeds.
