Find out more →Horsforth is a town in its own right and its roofs say so. Stone cottages and period properties line the old lanes around Long Row, Town Street and Fink Hill; inter-war semis fill the streets behind; and beyond them are big post-war estates and modern detached housing. Roofers in Horsforth move between Welsh slate and stone slate on the old stock and concrete tile on everything since, often within the same afternoon, and access varies from a wide drive to a cottage with no frontage at all.
The period properties need slate re-laid on new battens where the fixings have failed, lime repointing on stone stacks, and lead renewed in valleys and around chimneys. The 1930s roofs need ridge and hip re-bedding, tile replacement and new eaves felt. The estate and modern housing needs dry-verge work, clip replacement and flat roofs sorting on garages and extensions. Roof repairs in Horsforth commonly start with a gutter problem, because a long overflowing run soaks the fascia and the wall head and looks exactly like a roof leak from inside.
The hill is a factor. Horsforth sits on high ground above the Aire, so the upper streets are exposed to the west while the lower ones sit in the valley shade with heavier tree cover. That means wind damage to ridges and verges at the top and moss, damp and blocked gutters at the bottom. It is worth knowing which half of the town you are on before assuming what your roof needs.

Inter-war semis around Horsforth usually have hipped roofs in clay or concrete tile over felt that was never expected to last ninety years. We give a straight opinion on repair versus re-roof and price both where it helps.
Post-war housing in Horsforth 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.
Detached homes in Horsforth 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.
Cottages and farmhouses around Horsforth were built to shrug off weather, and mostly they still do. When the roof does need attention it tends to be re-fixing slates on fresh battens, sorting a valley, or re-bedding a ridge, always in the right materials.
