What tends to be worth checking around Dukinfield?
Where houses join, one section can affect the next. A leak around a party-wall stack may involve details you cannot see from one garden.
If the leak only happens when the weather comes from one direction, tell the roofer. That clue can be more useful than the stain itself.
If water has been running behind the board for a while, the rafter ends and the lowest batten may need attention as well.
What would I want to know before looking at the roof?
With a Dukinfield leak, I would ask whether the problem is on a terrace, a semi or a later extension because access and roof shape can change the whole job.
Ask for photographs of the exact defect and the area around it. A slipped slate is one thing; a slipped slate beside worn ridge work and an open chimney joint is another.
What should the roofer show you?
Ask for a clear photograph of the actual defect before agreeing to more than a small repair. On a chimney leak, that should include the rear and the sides. On a fascia problem, it should include the felt and timber behind the bottom course. On a tile or slate repair, it should show whether the covering failed or the fixing underneath gave way.
If safe access needs scaffold, make sure the quote says so. One small defect beside a high chimney or above a conservatory can be cheap to repair and expensive to reach.
