Loose ridges and chimney repairs
Around Moorside Road and Tunwell Lane, Eccleshill’s council assessment records older stone-slate roofs, Welsh slate and later changes to some coverings. Even adjoining buildings can therefore need different replacement materials. For loose ridges or a chimney leak, ask the inspection to distinguish the covering, its edge details and the masonry rather than treating them as one fault.

Finding the cause
Ask whether ridge components can be retained, how they will be secured and whether nearby coverings have been disturbed. For chimney work, separate the masonry repairs from the flashings so each part of the proposed remedy is clear.
Planning your roofing work
Mention restricted side access and any shared chimney. Keep people away from areas beneath visibly loose roof material until the situation has been assessed.
What belongs in your quote
A clear quote sets out the materials, access and waste removal, as well as the repair itself. It should also explain what happens if opening the roof reveals further damage, so you know how any extra work will be agreed.
