Roofers Guiseley

Harrogate-based roofers covering Guiseley (LS20). Roof repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs, chimneys and gutters, priced in writing and guaranteed for ten years.

Guiseley roofing: the short version

Gritstone cottages and terraces around the old centre, with inter-war semis, post-war estates and modern housing spreading out to the moor edge. Guiseley 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 Guiseley roofs, and we know which of them need a repair and which are the roof telling you it is done.

What we do for Guiseley homes

Roofers in Guiseley: Guiseley roofing and roof repairs across LS20

Gritstone cottages and terraces cluster around Towngate and the old centre here, and from there Guiseley runs out into inter-war semis, post-war estates and modern family housing up towards Hollins Hill and the moor edge. That gives Guiseley roofers a genuine spread of work: stone slate and Welsh slate on the period stock, concrete and clay tile on the twentieth-century housing, and the usual flat roofs on garages, extensions and dormer conversions.

On the stone properties the repeat jobs are slipped and delaminated slates, stacks that need lime pointing, and lead in valleys and around chimneys that has been patched more than once and now needs renewing properly. On the semis and estates it is cracked ridge and hip bedding, tiles laminating with age, perished eaves felt, and fascias rotted behind overflowing gutters. Roof repairs in Guiseley often reveal that the underlay is the real problem, because on an unaltered 1930s roof there is nothing behind the tiles any more.

The town sits on rising ground with Rombalds Moor beyond, and the weather comes off the moor before anywhere further into the valley feels it. West-facing gables take wind-driven rain that finds its way under coverings which would be fine in a sheltered position, and ridge and verge fixings bedded only in mortar do not last. Where a house backs onto the older tree belts, gutters fill quickly and north-facing pitches stay damp and mossy through the winter.

Guiseley is about thirty-five minutes from Harrogate out on the A658 past the airport, and we are on that road most weeks anyway. Repairs, full re-roofs, stone slate and Welsh slate work, flat roofing, chimney repointing, dry-fix ridge and verge, fascias, soffits and guttering are all covered. Every job starts with a free survey and photographs of what we have found, followed by a written price that stands once the work begins, and the workmanship is guaranteed for ten years. Phone 0113 460 1042 and we will come out and look.

Guiseley houses and their roofs

Stone Cottages & Terraces

Stone-built houses in Guiseley 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.

1930s Semis

The 1930s houses in Guiseley 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.

Post-War Estates

Post-war housing in Guiseley is mostly concrete tile that has gone porous, brittle felt and fascias that have rotted behind the guttering. Re-roofs are common at this age and we do them with breathable membrane, dry verges and proper ventilation.

Modern Family Homes

The modern estates in Guiseley are mostly interlocking concrete tile with dry-fix systems. The faults tend to be small, annoying and windy, and we fix them quickly with matching parts.

Roads we are on regularly in Guiseley include High Street, Towngate, Springfield Road, Coach Road, Tranmere Park, Park Road, Westgate, Bingley Road, Nethermoor View, Hawksworth Lane, Otley Road, Hollins Hill, Oxford Road, plus the streets running off them.

Faults we are called to most in LS20

  • Porous concrete tiles losing their surface
  • Felt that has gone brittle under the tiles
  • Stone slates splitting and sliding on old timbers
  • Lime repointing on stone stacks and gable copings
  • 1930s roof coverings at the end of their life
  • Cement-bedded ridges cracking and letting rain in

Recognise one of those? Ring 0113 460 1042 or book a free survey and we will come and look, normally within a few days.
