Prices

What we fix, and what it usually costs

Honest starting prices for a typical Leeds terrace, including VAT, materials and taking the rubbish away. Your free inspection turns this into one fixed number.

Repairs

  • Slipped, cracked or missing slates

    Matched to your roof from our stock of reclaimed slate and fixed with copper clips, so they stay put.

    from £170

  • Leak tracing and repair

    We follow the water back to where it gets in, which is rarely right above the stain.

    from £220

  • Chimney repointing and lead flashing

    Joints raked out and repointed, then new Code 4 lead dressed tight to the stack.

    from £560

  • Ridge and hip tiles

    Loose ridges re-bedded, or upgraded to a dry-fix ridge that doesn’t rely on mortar.

    from £370

Gutters and roofline

  • Gutter clear and reseal

    Cleared by hand, joints resealed, downpipes flushed and tested with a hose before we leave.

    from £80

  • Fascias, soffits and new guttering

    Rotten timber out, sealed uPVC roofline and new gutters in. No more peeling paint.

    from £1,450

Bigger jobs

Storm damage and leaks

Water coming through the ceiling? Do this now.

  1. Catch it. Buckets and towels under the drip. Move anything electrical out of the way.
  2. Make it safe. If water is near a light fitting or socket, switch that circuit off at the fuse box.
  3. Take photos. Your insurer will want them, and they help us bring the right materials.
  4. Call us. We’ll talk you through it and, in most of Leeds, get a tarp or temporary repair on the same day.

You see what we saw, before you spend a penny.
  1. Tell us what’s up

    Ring us or book online in two minutes. You pick a two-hour slot, not “sometime Tuesday”.

    We go up, photograph every problem and show you on the doorstep. If it’s a £20 fix, we’ll tell you.

  3. A fixed written price

    Emailed the same day. Itemised, VAT included, valid for 30 days, and it doesn’t creep once you’ve said yes.

  4. The work, and the tidy-up

    Drive sheeted, garden protected, everything swept. If you’re at work, we send photos as we go.

  5. Signed off and guaranteed

    Final photos, your certificate, and an invoice only when you’re happy with the job.

Who you’ll deal with

One family, one yard, since 1998

Mick started Thornrigg with a van and a set of ladders. His daughter Jess now runs the office and the diary, and her husband Imran leads the second crew.

There are nine of us, all employed directly. No subcontracted gangs, and nobody on your roof we wouldn’t send to our own.

  • 9 roofers, all on our payroll
  • 2 crews, so emergencies don’t wait
  • 0 subcontractors

What customers say

Fewer surprises than they expected

Sample content Example reviews written for this concept site

Sample content

We’d had a leak over the back bedroom for months that two other firms “fixed”. Imran found a cracked lead valley in twenty minutes and showed me the photo. Dry ever since.

Sarah Headingley, LS6 · leak repair

Sample content

Price in writing the same afternoon, and the final bill was exactly that. They sheeted the drive and left it cleaner than we did.

Tom and Aisha Roundhay, LS8 · re-roof

Sample content

Jess answered on a Sunday morning with water coming through the ceiling. Tarp on by lunchtime, proper repair on the Tuesday.

Graham Horsforth, LS18 · storm damage

Sample content

They talked me out of a full re-roof I didn’t need. Ridge re-bedded and six slates replaced for a fraction of what I’d been quoted elsewhere.

Questions

Straight answers before you ring

Anything else? Ring Jess. She knows the diary better than anyone.

Call Jess on 0113 496 0412
Is the roof inspection really free?

Yes. No call-out fee, no obligation and no “today-only” price. You get photos and a written price by email, usually the same day.

How quickly can you come out for a leak?

Ring before 2pm and most LS postcodes get a visit the same day, always within 24 hours. If we can’t make a permanent repair straight away, we make it watertight until we can.

Will I need scaffolding?

Most repairs are done from ladders and roof ladders. Chimney work on taller houses and full re-roofs need scaffold. It’s itemised on your quote, and we sort the council licence if it goes on the pavement.

Will my home insurance pay for it?

Sudden storm damage is often covered; wear and tear usually isn’t. Either way, we’ll give you a dated report with photos to send to your insurer.

Can you match the slates on an old Leeds terrace?

Almost always. We keep reclaimed Welsh slate in the yard in the common Victorian sizes, so a patch repair doesn’t stick out from the street.

Do you work in conservation areas?

All the time. Headingley, Chapel Allerton and Roundhay are full of them. We use like-for-like materials and can help with the paperwork if the council needs to see it.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

Not for repairs. For re-roofs and flat roofs we take a materials deposit of up to 25%, and the rest when you’re happy with the finished job. Bank transfer or card.

What does the guarantee actually cover?

If water gets in where we worked, we come back and fix it at no cost. See the guarantee terms for how long each type of job is covered.
