Roof repair and replacement in Beeston

Ask for photos and the date the leak began, then arrange an inspection promptly. Water often travels along timbers, so the stain may not sit under the fault. A prompt visit limits the damage and gives you the facts to decide on a repair. Keep the records, as insurers and agents often ask for them.

Not unless the owners agree, since each house has its own roof section. Neighbours sometimes arrange work together to share scaffolding costs. Where a party wall or shared gutter is involved, the Party Wall Act may apply. We can quote for your house alone or discuss a joint arrangement. Photographs of the shared gutters and the party wall are useful for those talks.

A look each autumn and after any severe storm is a sensible routine, using photos from the ground or a visit from a roofer. Gutters, ridge tiles and flashings are the usual weak points. Early repairs are generally cheaper than waiting for a ceiling to stain. Photos taken on the same date each year make slow changes easy to spot.

It can, because a clear report with photos shows the condition of the roof and what has been done. It is not a structural survey or a formal certificate. Buyers, agents and insurers often like having something in writing, and it can speed up negotiations. A clear dated report is easier to share with an agent than a phone call.

We can arrange access through an agent, a neighbour or a key arrangement you set up, as long as you give your agreement in writing. The roof itself can often be inspected from outside. Loft inspection needs access inside, so we agree a time that suits whoever holds the key. Please give the key holder's phone number, as this saves time on the day.
