Pitched and flat roofing in Lawnswood (LS16): repairs, re-covers, chimney work and guttering from an insured local team with a written guarantee.
Lawnswood is a green, open stretch of the Otley Road corridor where post-war detached houses and long-garden semis sit between the school playing fields, the cemetery and the woods. Lawnswood 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.
Leaks traced to the source, slipped slates re-fixed, lead renewed. One visit, one written price, ten-year guarantee.

Lawnswood roofers work on detached houses and long semis strung along Otley Road and the roads behind it, most of them built between the 1930s and the 1970s, and nearly all of them extended at some point since. Hipped ends, side dormers, porch canopies and flat-roofed rear additions mean a typical Lawnswood roofing job involves several different coverings meeting each other. The older stone properties near the cemetery and the school grounds carry Welsh slate and need matched second-hand material rather than whatever is on the merchant's rack.
Most roof repairs Lawnswood householders ring about start at a junction. Lead soakers around a dormer cheek that were dressed too short, a valley that has been patched with flashing tape, or an extension abutment where mortar fillet was used instead of a proper chase and apron. The other regular is cement ridge bedding on the inter-war stock, now thirty years past its last repoint and letting water track along the ridge board. We take those off, re-bed properly or dry-fix, and leave the ridge line straight.
The open ground either side of Otley Road is what makes this patch different from the tighter suburbs south of it. Wind funnels along the road and lifts verge tiles on the exposed gable ends, and the mature trees around the cemetery and the woods drop enough leaf litter to block a gutter run in a single autumn. A yearly clear-out and a look at the verges and ridge is cheap compared with tracing a damp patch back through a ceiling.
From Harrogate we come down the A61 through Harewood and Alwoodley, and it is a half-hour run at most, so a survey in Lawnswood is easy for us to fit into the week rather than something you wait a fortnight for. We cover roof repairs, full re-roofs, flat roofing, chimney work, leadwork, fascias, soffits and gutters. Every job is surveyed properly with drone photographs, priced in writing before anything is booked, and backed by a ten-year workmanship guarantee. Ring 0113 460 1042 or send the enquiry form and we will arrange a look.
Detached homes in Lawnswood 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.
The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Lawnswood are steep slate roofs with tall stacks, timber-lined valleys and a great deal of lead. Our work here is slate repair, chimney repointing and replacing flashings that were done cheaply a generation ago.
The larger detached houses in Lawnswood have big, busy roofs: several hips, long valleys, dormers and extensions bolted on over the years. The work has to be neat and the materials matched, and we look after the drive and the garden while we are there.
