Slates, dormers and shared access
In South Headingley, the council-adopted design statement records terrace rows with original dormers, gabled fronts and chimney stacks. If your home retains these details, a leak needs the dormer sides, flashing and surrounding pitched roof checked separately. Later loft alterations can add further junctions. For a let property, arrange the inspection through the person who can provide access and approve the work.

Finding the cause
A dormer leak needs the cheeks, flat top, window junction and connection to the pitched roof considered separately. Ask for the quotation to identify which detail has failed, rather than treating every damp patch as a reason to replace the whole roof.
Planning your roofing work
Tell us who occupies and manages the property, whether access is shared and when the loft can be inspected. Provide the contact details needed to arrange a visit.
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.
Use the roofing quotation checklist or understand the main cost factors.
