Slipped tiles, leaks, storm damage and ridge work. Free survey, fixed written quote within 24 hours, and the repair photographed and guaranteed.
Match what you are seeing at home to the cause. If water is getting in, one of these is almost always the reason, and all of it is everyday work for our team.
What you will see: a tile sitting out of line from the street, pieces of tile in the garden or gutter, or a damp patch on an upstairs ceiling after rain.
What we do: match and refit the tile, slate or pantile, and check the courses around it while we are up there. We keep reclaimed slate and Yorkshire pantile for York's older streets.
Usually a small repair · what repairs costWhat you will see: a damp patch that grows when it rains, a tide mark on a chimney breast, or a drip you can hear but not find.
What we do: trace the water back to its entry point, which is often higher up the roof than the stain, and fix the cause rather than painting over the symptom.
Priced after the free survey · how we keep it fairWhat you will see: tiles gone overnight, a lifted or wavy ridge line, or daylight in the loft after a storm.
What we do: make the roof safe first, then photograph everything from the scaffold so your insurer gets proper evidence.
Need it today? · emergency repairsWhat you will see: a leak that always starts where two slopes meet, or where the roof meets the chimney or a wall.
What we do: renew the failed lead or mortar junction properly, with new lead dressed in, not a smear of sealant over the top.
Lead specialists in house · see our leadworkWhat you will see: mortar crumbs in the gutter, gaps under the ridge line, or daylight through the verge from inside the loft.
What we do: rake out and re-bed or repoint with the right mix, or upgrade to a mechanically fixed dry ridge or verge that ends the mortar problem for good.
Most of our small repair work · pointing explained belowWhat you will see: sagging or split felt, water ponding after rain, or a steady drip over whatever you keep in there.
What we do: patch or re-cover in felt or EPDM, fix corrugated sheets, and tell you honestly when a tired roof is worth re-covering instead. No job too small.

Nobody can price a roof from the pavement. Here is how we keep it fair instead.
Spotted mortar crumbs in the ridge and verge row above? This is the longer answer. The mortar on a roof fails decades before the tiles do, and pointing is most of the small repair work we get called to.
What homeowners said after their own repairs, word for word.
"I would highly recommend EJL. I was given Elliott's name from my neighbour who'd had work done. Rebedded and replaced my ridge tiles. Brilliant communication throughout."
"Elliott and his team are great roofers. Work was done to a very high standard but also done in a very timely manner. We've had many people see his work and ask who the company was."
