Planning a complete roof repair
The council’s Keighley town-centre assessment records older stone-slate roofs, including examples around Church Street and Albert Yard, alongside later Welsh slate. That is one reason to identify the actual covering before specifying a repair. For an adjoining home or residential conversion, also explain which roof section is affected and how the rear elevation can be reached.

Finding the cause
The survey should distinguish damaged covering, failed fixings and defective junctions. If the roof is to be replaced, the quotation should explain what is retained, how hidden timber problems are handled and what is included at the ridges, valleys and eaves.
Planning your roofing work
Mention steep or narrow entrances, rear yards and delivery restrictions. For an outlying address, add clear directions and confirm the route for access equipment.
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.
