Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question about a small roof repair, a leaking gutter, or how we work? Find clear, honest answers below from your local Colne roofing specialists.
Straight Talking, No Jargon
We believe in complete transparency. We know that hiring a tradesperson can sometimes be stressful, especially when it comes to your roof. We aim to make the process as simple, affordable, and stress-free as possible.
Quotes, Pricing & Service Area
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No, never. We provide free, no-obligation quotes to all homeowners in our service area. We will assess the problem and give you a clear price before any work begins.
What areas do you exactly cover?
We keep our travel distances short so we can be reliable. We focus heavily on Colne, Trawden, Foulridge, Barrowford, and Nelson.
Can I get a quote via WhatsApp?
Yes! If you can safely take a picture of your issue (like a broken tile on the patio or a dripping gutter), send it over. We can often give you an accurate estimate straight from the photo.
Are there any hidden costs?
Absolutely not. The price we quote is the price you pay. If we discover further unavoidable damage once we start, we will stop, show you a photo, and discuss it with you before proceeding.
Our Roofing Services
Do you do full roof replacements?
No. We have built our reputation on doing the small jobs that big companies ignore. We specialize purely in minor repairs, maintenance, and guttering.
Do I need to be home for gutter cleaning?
Not usually. As long as we have permission and clear access to your back garden/sides of the house, we can complete the work and send you 'before and after' photos to prove the gutters are clear.
Can you fix leaks on a flat roof?
Yes. If your garage, shed, or extension flat roof has a small tear or bubble causing a leak, we can often apply a permanent patch repair without needing to replace the whole felt roof.
I have a leak but I can't see where it's coming from.
Water is tricky and often travels along joists before dripping through your ceiling. Don't worry, we are experts at leak detection. We'll trace it back to the source, whether it's faulty flashing or a cracked slate.
Trust & Our Process
How do I know the work is done properly?
Because you can't see your roof, we provide photo evidence. We take photos of the damage before we start, and photos of the completed repair when we finish. You get these sent straight to your phone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, absolutely. We hold comprehensive public liability insurance, so in the highly unlikely event that something goes wrong, your property is completely protected.
Will you leave a mess?
Never. We pride ourselves on being clean and tidy. Any old tiles, moss, or debris removed from your gutters will be bagged up and taken away with us, leaving your property exactly as we found it.
What if the repair fails?
We use high-quality materials and do the job right the first time. However, if a repair we've carried out fails due to workmanship, just give us a call and we will return to put it right immediately.
