Original roofs and later extensions
Horsforth’s appraisal describes slate-covered roofs and varied forms, including hips, around Broadgate Lane, while Kerry Street has more tightly arranged terraces. These are different access and detailing situations. Tell us which roof section is affected and whether an extension lies below it. At an old-to-new junction, the flashing, wall condition and drainage route need checking together before a repair is specified.

Finding the cause
At an extension junction, inspect the flashing, wall condition, roof covering and drainage path together. For re-roofing, agree which materials are retained, what replaces them and how valleys and ridges will connect to the adjoining roof.
Planning your roofing work
Mention sloping access, narrow side passages and any glazed extension below the affected elevation. These details influence scaffold layout and should be reflected in the written price.
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.
