Homeowners and landlords in Chapeltown call us for anything from a loose ridge tile to a complete re-roof. Insured, written quotes, drone photos where they help.

Chapeltown roofing: the short version

Big Victorian and Edwardian houses, many long since split into flats, standing next to 1970s council housing and post-war estates. Chapeltown 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 Harehills Avenue and Roundhay Road, 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.

What we do for Chapeltown homes

Roofers in Chapeltown: Chapeltown roofing and roof repairs across LS7

The big Victorian and Edwardian houses along Roundhay Road and Harehills Avenue are the defining stock here, most of them long since divided into flats, and they stand alongside terraces with party-wall chimneys and later council housing. Chapeltown roofing tends to be large-scale work on tall buildings: steep slate pitches, deep valleys between gables, parapet gutters and chimney stacks standing well above head height. Access and scaffold planning matter as much as the roofing itself, and pricing a job here honestly means looking at the whole roof rather than the one slope that is visibly leaking.

Slate roofs of this size fail progressively. Nail sickness lets slates slip, valleys between gables split, parapet gutters and their outlets block and overflow into the building, and the stacks, often four or five per house, need repointing and re-flashing. Converted houses also carry decades of added pipework through the roof. On the terraces the routine jobs are back gutters behind shared stacks and rotten timber gutters that are better replaced with aluminium on new brackets than repaired again.

Because so much of the stock is rented or managed, roofs here often get patched repeatedly rather than sorted, and the cost of those patches adds up to more than the proper job would have done. We photograph everything we find and set out what needs doing now, what can wait a year and what is simply cosmetic, so a landlord or a management company can plan instead of reacting every time it rains hard.

We come down the A61 from Harrogate, usually about thirty-five minutes, and north Leeds is part of our week every week. Slate repairs, full re-roofing, parapet and valley lead, chimney repointing and rebuilds, flat roofing and rainwater goods are all covered, and we work for owners, landlords and management companies. Every job starts with a free survey and a photographed report setting out what needs doing now and what can wait, followed by a written price and a ten-year workmanship guarantee.

Chapeltown houses and their roofs

Victorian Terraces

The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Chapeltown 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.

Party-Wall Chimneys

Newer houses in Chapeltown 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.

Student HMOs

Landlords with property in Chapeltown 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.

Period Villas

The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Chapeltown 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 Harehills Avenue and Roundhay Road, or the streets behind them, is covered.
