What customers say
“I wish to express my extreme gratitude for Joe, Tom and the rest of the lads who have completed work on my first home. They promptly responded to my request for a quotation and laid down a step-by-step plan on how the work would be completed. Their communication was second to none and I never felt out of the loop for a single moment. They were kind, courteous and respectful towards me, my new home and other workers I had in the property at the time. Their efficiency was incredible (much better when compared to other contractors), they were extremely clean and always tidied up after themselves.”
Questions from Chapel Allerton customers
Straight answers before you book.
Can you match Welsh slate?
Usually. We'll reuse the sound slate and match the rest, and show you before ordering anything.
My dormer leaks. Can you find out why?
Yes. With dormers it's usually a join, where the cheeks meet the main roof or the flat top meets the cheeks, rather than the middle of the roof.
Do you cover Moortown and Roundhay?
Yes. Send your postcode and we'll confirm.
Planning work where slate meets a chimney
On a roof with several junctions, the leak needs tracing before the work is agreed.
Check more than the slipped slate
A cracked slate may be visible from the ground, but chimney leadwork or a valley could be involved too. Tell us where the damp appears when asking about roof repairs.
Include loft roof details
If a dormer or roof window is affected, mention it with the main covering. See dormer roofing and roof window work for how these parts connect.
Headingley, LS6
Headingley is a short drive from Chapel Allerton by way of Meanwood, and its period houses raise the same roofing questions.
Victorian terraces and villas
Long runs of terraced houses and larger villas, many in Welsh slate with tall shared chimney stacks. Slipped slates, worn lead and chimney flashings are typical starting points for roof repairs and chimney work.
Rented and shared houses
Many Headingley houses are let. If you are a landlord or agent, tell us who can provide access and who should receive the written quote.
Loft rooms and dormers
Converted lofts mean dormer cheeks, flat dormer tops and roof windows. See dormer roofing and roof windows.
Parts of Headingley are in conservation areas, which can affect materials on street-facing roofs. We'll flag it if we think it applies to your house.
