Homeowners and landlords in Blenheim call us for anything from a loose ridge tile to a complete re-roof. Insured, written quotes, drone photos where they help.
University-edge streets of converted period houses, purpose-built student accommodation and commercial premises, rising away from the city centre. Blenheim is roughly half an hour from Harrogate down the A61 or A658, and we are on that side of the county most weeks. The same handful of faults come up again and again on Blenheim roofs, and we know which of them need a repair and which are the roof telling you it is done.
Full strip and re-cover on new battens and breathable membrane. Slate, stone or tile to suit the house and the street.

Find out more →Storm damage and sudden leaks made safe the same day across Harrogate, Knaresborough and north Leeds. Proper repair after.
Find out more →The ground rising away from the city centre towards the universities is a mix of commercial buildings, period conversions, modern apartments and mixed-use development, and very little of it is an ordinary pitched house roof. Around Blenheim Walk and the Woodhouse Lane rise you are dealing with flat membranes, asphalt, parapets, light wells and slate roofs hidden behind stone frontages. Roofers in Blenheim are usually instructed by an agent, a landlord or a business rather than a householder.
Converted period buildings give the most trouble, because the roof is often a hybrid: original slate on the front pitch, a flat roof over a later rear extension, and a parapet gutter between them that somebody has repeatedly patched. Those parapet gutters are the single most common source of serious water ingress we see in this part of Leeds. On the modern blocks the issues are membrane laps, upstands at plant plinths, and outlets blocked with grit and leaves. On commercial premises it is usually ponding and failed flashings at roof-mounted equipment.
Working here means working around other people. Access is tight, scaffold usually needs a licence, and most of these buildings are in use throughout the day, so we survey by drone first and plan the sequence before quoting rather than after. A photographed condition report also gives a landlord or management company something to budget against instead of paying for the same emergency patch every winter. Where a building is occupied by tenants or a business we agree notice, working hours and site tidiness up front so nobody is caught out on the morning the work starts.
We run down from Harrogate on the A61 in roughly forty minutes and we are in central Leeds most weeks, so arranging a site visit around your building is straightforward. Flat roof repairs and replacement, parapet and box gutter work, slate repairs on period buildings, and full photographed condition surveys are all covered, and we are used to dealing with agents, landlords and management companies. Everything is specified and priced in writing, the survey costs nothing, and the workmanship is guaranteed for ten years. Call 0113 460 1042 to get a surveyor out.
Business premises in Blenheim usually need a straight answer more than anything else: patch, overlay or replace. We say which and why, with pictures, and we will work early, late or at the weekend if the business needs it.
The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Blenheim 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.
Blocks of flats in Blenheim nearly always mean a flat roof, parapets and a management company. We produce a condition report with photographs before anything is priced, quote the whole roof rather than a patch, and keep the residents informed while the work is on.
