Looking for a roofer in Bramley? We cover LS13 from Harrogate with a free survey, a written quote and work that is done properly the first time.
A hillside of stone terraces, back-to-backs and large post-war estates looking down into the Aire valley, with a long busy spine through the middle. Bramley is roughly half an hour from Harrogate down the A61 or A658, and we are on that side of the county most weeks. 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.
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 →Welsh slate on the Victorian villas, stone slate on the dales cottages, clay and concrete on the estates. Matched, not approximated.
Find out more →Repointing, rebuilds, pots, cowls, lead trays and flashings on the tall stacks Harrogate is full of. Removals below the line too.
Find out more →Rotten boards out, UPVC or timber in, vents kept clear. Done alongside the gutters so the scaffold is only up once.
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 →A hillside of stone terraces, back-to-backs and large post-war council estates looking down into the Aire valley, with 1930s semis and modern builds threaded between them along Bagley Lane and Rodley Lane. Bramley roofing covers all of it, which in practice means Welsh slate on Victorian terraces, concrete tile on estate housing, and a lot of rainwater goods and chimney work in between. Roofs on a slope like this are exposed on one side and sheltered on the other, and they wear accordingly.
On the terraces the standard jobs are slipped slates, unlined back gutters behind party-wall stacks, and stone chimneys that need repointing in something softer than the cement somebody used last time. On the estate housing the issue is age: hipped roofs shedding their tiles where the bedding mortar has cracked, and fascias and soffits rotted through after years of overflowing gutters. Roof repairs in Bramley very often turn into a combined job, because once there is scaffold up it makes no sense to do the roof this year and the fascias next.
The valley gives the wind a clear run along it, and the top of the hill catches everything. Loose ridge tiles above a pavement are treated as urgent here. Lower down towards Rodley the ground is damper and the tree cover heavier, so moss on north slopes and blocked gutters are the routine complaints. Where houses have been extended, the flashing between the extension and the main roof is where the water usually gets in.
Bramley is about forty-five minutes from Harrogate via the A658 and the A65 or through the ring road, and west Leeds is part of our regular run rather than an occasional trip. Repairs, re-roofs, re-slating, chimney work, fascias and soffits and guttering are all covered, and we will price the roof and the rainwater goods together so the access is only paid for once. Free survey, photographs of the defects, a fixed written quote and a ten-year workmanship guarantee. Ring 0113 460 1042 and we will come out.
The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Bramley 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.
The 1930s houses in Bramley have reached the age where the original roof covering, the cement-bedded ridges and the felt all fail within a few years of each other. We repair where a repair is honest and quote a full re-cover where it is not.
The 1950s and 1960s houses in Bramley have plain hipped or gabled roofs, which keeps a re-cover sensible on price. Fascia, soffit and gutter replacement on these homes is a big part of what we do.
Newer houses in Bramley still have roof problems, just different ones: dry-verge caps lifting, ridges that were never bedded properly, and snagging the builder walked away from. We put the details right and take over where the warranty ran out.
