Independent roofers for Beeston, working out of Harrogate. Leaks, storm damage, chimneys, gutters, flat roofs and new roofs, with plain advice on what actually needs doing.
The ridge above the M621 carries a long stretch of 1930s semis and post-war estates, with older terraces dropping away towards the city. Beeston is towards the far edge of what we cover, but we run into Leeds all the time and the price is for the work, not the mileage. The age of the house changes the materials, not the method: we survey properly, explain it in plain words, quote in writing and guarantee the work.
Fibreglass, EPDM and torch-on felt for extensions, garages, dormers and bays. Laid to fall so water actually leaves.

Find out more →Beeston runs along the ridge above the motorway, and the roofline changes as you move along it. Victorian terraces with party-wall chimneys and shared gutters sit on the older streets near Beeston Road and Cross Flatts Park, then 1930s semis, then post-war estate housing, with a number of period villas and student-let houses mixed through. Beeston roofers spend most of their time on Welsh slate and on concrete tile roofs that are now seventy to ninety years old.
The terraces bring the usual slate problems: nail sickness, slipped slates, unlined back gutters behind shared stacks, and cement pointing that has cracked and let water into the brickwork. The semis bring hip and ridge mortar failures and perished underfelt. Across both, a huge proportion of what looks like a roof leak turns out to be rainwater goods, so we always check the gutter falls, joints and downpipes before recommending anything major. Fixing a gutter is a lot cheaper than re-roofing a house that did not need it.
Being on a ridge, Beeston is more exposed than its position in the middle of the city suggests, and the wind comes up the valley from the south-west. Loose ridge tiles on terraces are a genuine safety issue where the pavement is directly below, and we deal with those as emergencies rather than booking them in for next month. The park brings leaf fall, and the density of the terraced streets means water that gets past one roof often ends up in the house next door.
From Harrogate it is around forty-five minutes down the A61 and round to the south side of the city, and we cover this part of Leeds every week. We will survey the roof free of charge, tell you honestly whether it needs repairing or replacing rather than talking you into the bigger job, and put the price in writing before anything starts. Repairs, re-slating, ridge and hip work, chimneys, flat roofing, fascias and guttering are all covered, with storm damage attended the same day where we can. Ring 0113 460 1042.
Big period houses in Beeston, whether still one home or now several flats, need proper scaffold and a roofer comfortable with old slate. Like-for-like replacement, stacks rebuilt where they have gone, dormers and bays sorted.
The modern estates in Beeston are mostly interlocking concrete tile with dry-fix systems. The faults tend to be small, annoying and windy, and we fix them quickly with matching parts.
Landlords with property in Beeston tend to want two things from a roofer: a fixed written price and no hassle with access. We give both. Most of the work on lets is guttering, flashing and slipped slates, with the occasional strip and re-cover between tenancies.
The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Beeston are steep slate roofs with tall stacks, timber-lined valleys and a great deal of lead. Our work here is slate repair, chimney repointing and replacing flashings that were done cheaply a generation ago.
Anywhere around Beeston Road and Cross Flatts Park, or the streets behind them, is covered.
