Pitched and flat roofing in Follifoot (HG3): repairs, re-covers, chimney work and guttering from an insured local team with a written guarantee.
Follifoot is a tight stone village ringed by parkland and farms, with cottages around the core and bigger houses on the edges. Follifoot is a few minutes from the yard, which means quotes and small jobs there get slotted in quickly, often on the way to something else. The same handful of faults come up again and again on Follifoot roofs, and we know which of them need a repair and which are the roof telling you it is done.
Leaks traced to the source, slipped slates re-fixed, lead renewed. One visit, one written price, ten-year guarantee.

Find out more →Roof repairs Follifoot householders call about tend to involve stone. The village core is tight, gritstone cottages under slate and stone slate with heavy chimney stacks, and around it are farm buildings, converted barns and later detached houses on the Rudding and Plompton lanes. Follifoot roofing is mostly traditional work: matching materials, using lime where lime belongs, and dressing lead rather than sealing joints with something that will fail in two years.
The jobs repeat. Reclaimed stone slate to replace the handful that have slipped, graded by size so the courses still diminish properly as they rise up the roof rather than sitting in an obvious modern patch. Lime repointing on stacks that have been weathering for well over a century and have lost their mortar to a few too many wet winters. Leadwork at valleys and abutments on the barn conversions, which is where almost every conversion leak we are called to actually originates, rather than the main roof plane. And on the bigger modern houses, garage and outbuilding flat roofs that have simply reached the end of their life.
Follifoot sits on rising ground with parkland wrapped around it, which gives the village two quite different local factors depending on which way your house faces. Gables on the open side take the wind and the driven rain, and that is where ridge and verge damage shows up first. The shaded rear slopes have the opposite problem: they stay damp and mossy long after the front of the roof has dried out, and moss holding water against slate shortens its life. Mature trees do the rest, filling gutters and valleys with leaf litter and occasionally dropping a branch onto the tiles in a gale.
The village is fifteen to twenty minutes from our Harrogate base, out past Pannal or round through Rudding, and we are in this corner of HG3 most weeks. We survey free, quote in writing with the access and materials set out clearly, and guarantee the workmanship for ten years. If a repair is the sensible answer we will say so, and if a roof is genuinely at the end we will say that too rather than selling you a patch that buys one winter. Roof repairs, re-roofs, flat roofing, chimneys, fascias, soffits and guttering across the village and the surrounding lanes. Call 0113 460 1042.
Stone-built houses in Follifoot usually carry stone slate or Welsh slate on timbers that have done a century or more. The recurring jobs are slates that have split and slid, chimneys wanting lime repointing, and lead that has cracked along the folds.

Detached homes in Follifoot from the 1960s onwards are coming up for full re-roofs, and in the meantime it is extension flat roofs and conservatory junctions that have never been flashed properly.
Listed buildings and conservation streets in Follifoot come with rules, and rightly so. Matched slate, lime rather than cement, lead worked traditionally, and a clear word from us about whether consent is needed before we quote. It is the kind of work we like doing well.
