What tends to be worth checking around Stalybridge?
Tameside Council lists Stalybridge Town Centre as one of the borough’s nine conservation areas. On older buildings there, the roof covering and chimney details may form part of the protected character.
The rear gutter is on the uphill side of the stack. Leaves, mortar and old patching can reduce the channel until heavy rain rises against the masonry.
A broken slate costs little. Reaching one above a lower extension, narrow alley or high gable can be the expensive part, so ask how the roofer intends to get to it safely.
What would I want to know before looking at the roof?
On the steeper and more exposed roofs around Stalybridge, tell the roofer whether the leak only appears in driving rain. A chimney side or verge can pass water in wind while remaining dry in a normal shower.
What should the roofer show you?
If the fault is high or above an extension, ask how it will be reached. A quotation for 'one slate' is not useful if scaffold has not been allowed for and safe access is the expensive part.
