Roofers in Crossgates

Based here in Crossgates

WW Roofing & Building works from Crossgates itself, on the east side of Leeds. Being on the doorstep makes us easy to get hold of, and easy to hold to account: no travel to price into the job, and no waiting days for someone to come and look at a slipped tile. Re-roofing, tiling and roof repairs are the heart of what we offer locally, from replacing a handful of storm-damaged tiles to stripping a roof back to the timbers and re-covering it. Slating, Velux windows and leadwork are covered too when the job calls for them.

What Crossgates roofs tend to need

Much of the housing here went up between the wars or in the decades just after, and a good share of those semis and terraces still carry their original concrete tiles. Concrete tile is tough, but on roofs of that age the fixings and the bituminous felt underneath usually give out first. Nail fatigue is why tiles keep slipping one at a time; torn felt is why a roof that looks tidy from the street can still let water in. Once that pattern sets in, patching becomes a holding action and a re-roof is usually the right call. Towards Halton there are also some older Victorian terraces, where mortar-bedded ridges, chimney stacks and party-wall junctions deserve a proper look whenever the roof is opened up.

How we quote

Every quote starts with a visit. We look at the roof properly, from a ladder or the scaffold if one is already up, measure it, and check the points where roofs of this age usually fail. You then get a written price that sets out exactly what is included. If something cannot be known until the covering comes off, we say so up front rather than burying it in the number. The visit and the quote cost nothing, and being based here means we can usually get to you quickly.
