Independent roofers for Adel, working out of Harrogate. Leaks, storm damage, chimneys, gutters, flat roofs and new roofs, with plain advice on what actually needs doing.
Roof shapes get complicated in Adel: generous detached houses on wooded plots, hips and dormers everywhere, and a scattering of older stone properties near the church. Adel is roughly half an hour from Harrogate down the A61 or A658, and we are on that side of the county most weeks. If you live around Adel Lane and Stair Foot Lane, we have very likely driven past your house on the way to another one. Ring for a free survey and a written quote with no pressure attached.
Fibreglass, EPDM and torch-on felt for extensions, garages, dormers and bays. Laid to fall so water actually leaves.

The detached properties along Otley Road, Adel Lane, Long Causeway, Sir George Martin Drive and Stair Foot Lane run to four and five bedrooms with hipped roofs, multiple valleys, dormers and extensions added over decades. Nearer the church and Adel Mill there is older stone stock carrying stone slate on original timbers. Adel roofing is rarely a five-minute patch; it is usually detailed work on a roof that everyone driving past can see.
Lead is behind most of the leaks we get called to. Complicated roof shapes mean long valleys, and valley lead of the wrong code or laid in over-long lengths splits at the fixings. Abutment flashings on 1970s extensions and conservatory junctions are the other repeat offenders, especially where somebody has run a bead of sealant across them instead of chasing new lead into the joint. On the mid-century detached houses and bungalows the original concrete tiles and bitumen underfelt are now old enough that a full re-cover often makes better sense than repeated roof repairs Adel homeowners keep paying for.
The other factor here is the trees. Adel is heavily wooded, and that has consequences: leaf fall blocks gutters and valley outlets twice a year, overhanging limbs scuff and lift tiles in the wind, and shaded northern slopes stay damp long enough for moss to build up and push water back under the laps. A gutter clear each autumn and a valley check each spring prevents most of the calls we get in January.
From Harrogate the A61 drops us into Adel in around twenty-five minutes, and we are on the north side of Leeds most weeks, so getting out to look at a roof here is easy to arrange. We survey free, take drone photographs of anything that cannot be reached safely, and give you a written quote covering both the repair and the full replacement so you can weigh the two up rather than being pushed towards the bigger job. Repairs, re-roofs, flat roofing, lead and valley work, chimneys, fascias and guttering all covered. Call 0113 460 1042.
The larger detached houses in Adel have big, busy roofs: several hips, long valleys, dormers and extensions bolted on over the years. The work has to be neat and the materials matched, and we look after the drive and the garden while we are there.
Dormer bungalows around Adel nearly always need the dormer cheeks and flat tops looking at first. We re-cover in fibreglass or EPDM and put new lead where the dormer meets the tiles.

Stone-built houses in Adel usually carry stone slate or Welsh slate on timbers that have done a century or more. The recurring jobs are slates that have split and slid, chimneys wanting lime repointing, and lead that has cracked along the folds.
