Homeowners and landlords in Ireland Wood call us for anything from a loose ridge tile to a complete re-roof. Insured, written quotes, drone photos where they help.
Post-war semis, short terraces and bungalows in a planned layout on the wooded northern rim of the city. Ireland Wood 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.
Full strip and re-cover on new battens and breathable membrane. Slate, stone or tile to suit the house and the street.

Find out more →Laid out as planned post-war housing on the wooded northern rim of the city, Ireland Wood is semis, short terraces and bungalows around Iveson Drive and Raynel Drive, with some older villas and more modern builds nearby. The roofs repeat street by street, mostly simple gabled and hipped shapes in concrete tile, which makes surveying straightforward and pricing predictable. Roofers in Ireland Wood see the same handful of faults across whole rows of houses.
Those faults are age-related rather than design problems. Ridge and hip bedding mortar cracks and lets tiles work loose, concrete tiles laminate at the nibs after decades of frost, the original felt has perished at the eaves, and fascias and soffits have rotted behind gutters that have been overflowing for years. On the bungalows the low pitch is less forgiving, and dormer conversions leak where the cheek meets the main slope. Garage and extension flat roofs in old felt are the other regular job.
The woodland that gives the area its name is the local complication. Mature trees drop heavily into gutters and valleys twice a year, and the shade keeps north-facing slopes damp enough for moss to build in the laps, which on a low-pitch roof holds water against the underlay. Higher up towards the ring road the exposure increases and hip ends catch the wind, so the same street can have two different problems at either end.
Ireland Wood is about half an hour from Harrogate down the A61 and across, so north-west Leeds is easy ground for us to reach at short notice. The survey is free, we photograph what we find so you can see it without climbing anything, and we give honest advice on whether a repair will do or whether the covering has reached its end. Repairs, re-roofs, ridge and hip re-bedding, dormer and bungalow work, flat roofing, chimneys, fascias and guttering, all priced in writing and guaranteed. Call 0113 460 1042.
Big period houses in Ireland Wood, whether still one home or now several flats, need proper scaffold and a roofer comfortable with old slate. Like-for-like replacement, stacks rebuilt where they have gone, dormers and bays sorted.
Inter-war semis around Ireland Wood 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 Ireland Wood 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.
The modern estates in Ireland Wood 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.
Anywhere around Iveson Drive and Raynel Drive, or the streets behind them, is covered.
