Treat a symptom as a reason to inspect
Find out how far the fault extends before paying for replacement. Adam compares leaks, slipped tiles and visible movement with the roof condition, using photographs to explain the repair or reroof proposal.
The spread of damage matters. One broken tile surrounded by sound material is different from repeated defects across several slopes. Ask to see the affected courses in the photographs and have the proposed work linked to them. That explanation provides a basis for deciding how far a repair needs to extend.
Separate junction faults from failure across a slope
See the difference between a defined repair and a reroof. Our recorded flue lead slate and Bletchley tile, hip and gutter work show specific components repaired within an existing roof.
Underlying layers also need consideration. Renewing membrane or battens can require tiles to be lifted without every tile being discarded. The Leighton Buzzard record shows sound tiles retained after TLX Gold was installed. On your property, Adam explains which material is serviceable and which needs renewal before calling the work a reroof.
Ask why the recommended scope solves the findings
Ask what another patch would leave unresolved. Adam's written replacement proposal points to actual defects and roof areas in the photographs, giving you the reason for widening the work.
Keep the written proposal and images together while comparing your choices. Adam prepares that quote himself, and you can discuss any item before booking. The agreed work needs no deposit and is paid for on completion, with the ten-year workmanship guarantee attached to the work carried out.
