Anyone know of a good roofer in Leeds?? The gales on Friday
blew some tiles off and now I have this hole.....
It's a bit of a worry really. Which is worse, snow or rain??

I'd say snow because a lot more can blow in sideways, and you don't notice
until it's too late. But I could be wrong so I crossposted to the experts in
such things. Either way, you need that hole fixed, and they might be able to
point you in the direction of a Leeds roofer.

I once went to see Roofer Vandross at the NEC in Birmingham - he was quite
good!

Surely the snow coming in would insulate my attic and I could save on
felting?
And I could have a sauna...well half a sauna....

Don't know about roofer specifically, but you could do worse than try Percy
Barker limited (based in Headingley, I think their office number is 0113
2755843). I trust them totally. They've recently done for us a bathroom,
ripped apart a kitchen (and are now quoting for a new one...), and lots of
other bits and pieces; my family has used them for years...

Snow, because of the weight, and resulting thaw.

There is a Leeds roofer who posts to free.uk.trade.roofing.
Let's hope he replies.

Terry, my gales and holes strand is beating your pubs! See, men are far more
interested in holes
when it comes down to it!Or maybe it's the wind that draws their interest.
