Pitched and flat roofing in Far Headingley (LS16): repairs, re-covers, chimney work and guttering from an insured local team with a written guarantee.
Broad leafy roads of Edwardian and 1920s semis, inter-war detached houses and period villas on generous plots. Far Headingley 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.
Fibreglass, EPDM and torch-on felt for extensions, garages, dormers and bays. Laid to fall so water actually leaves.

Find out more →Broad, leafy and built for space, Far Headingley is Edwardian and 1920s semis, inter-war detached houses, period villas and later family homes along Otley Road, Spen Lane, Weetwood Lane, Iveson Road and Shaw Lane. The roofs are substantial, often with bays, gables, dormers and long hips, and a good many are in Welsh slate rather than tile. Far Headingley roofing is detail work: plenty of junctions, plenty of lead, and plenty of roof visible from the street.
Slate roofs of this age fail at the nails, so slates slip in small numbers over years before anybody takes it seriously. Bay roofs are the other classic: small lead or asphalt flats above ground-floor bays, most of them original, most of them patched, all of them leaking into the room below eventually. Add split valley lead where two gables meet, chimney stacks needing repointing and new lead trays, and abutment flashings on 1970s extensions that were cemented in, and you have the bulk of the roof repairs Far Headingley houses need.
The mature tree canopy that makes the area pleasant is hard on roofs. Leaves fill gutters, hoppers and valleys twice a year, branches scuff slates, and the shade keeps north-facing slopes damp enough for moss to build up in the laps. On a house with deep valleys and a lot of gutter run, a single blocked outlet can put water into the structure for weeks unnoticed. Twice-yearly clearing is genuinely preventative here rather than cosmetic.
