Roofing for Moortown and the rest of LS17. We arrive when we say we will, quote on paper, and leave a ten-year written guarantee behind.
Moortown is solid, settled north Leeds, mostly inter-war semis and detached houses with bay windows, tall shared stacks and deep front gardens either side of the main road. Moortown is roughly half an hour from Harrogate down the A61 or A658, and we are on that side of the county most weeks. If you live around Lidgett Lane and Shadwell Lane, we have very likely driven past your house on the way to another one. Ring for a free survey and a written quote with no pressure attached.
Fibreglass, EPDM and torch-on felt for extensions, garages, dormers and bays. Laid to fall so water actually leaves.

Find out more →Bay windows, hipped roofs and tall shared chimney stacks: that is Moortown in one line, and it sets the pattern for the work. The inter-war semis and detached houses either side of the main roads, around Lidgett Lane, Shadwell Lane and the streets off them, were built well but built a long time ago, and the roofs are now at the stage where the original clay tiles are sound while everything holding them on is not. Moortown roofers spend more time replacing battens, felt and fixings than replacing tiles.
The chimney is the usual culprit. These houses have big stacks, often shared with next door, and when the flaunching cracks and the flashings open the water tracks down inside the stack and shows on a bedroom ceiling metres away from the actual fault. We also see a lot of failed cement fillets where a previous roofer used mortar instead of lead at an abutment. Roof repairs in Moortown are frequently a leadwork job dressed up as a tile job.
Moortown is high ground, with the moor, the golf courses and Gledhow woods around it. That combination gives you wind on the open sides and heavy leaf fall on the wooded ones. Mature street trees along the avenues shade the north slopes so moss sits thick and holds moisture against the tile surface; on a clay tile that accelerates frost damage. A soft moss removal and a gutter clear each year does more good here than most people expect.
We are twenty-five to thirty minutes away straight down the A61, so Moortown is easy for us to reach and easy to come back to if anything ever needs another look. Chimney repairs and rebuilds, roof repairs, full re-roofs, leadwork, flat roofs, moss removal, fascias, soffits and guttering. We survey free, photograph the roof by drone, explain what actually needs doing and what can wait, and put the whole thing in writing with a ten-year workmanship guarantee. Call 0113 460 1042.
Detached homes in Moortown 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 Moortown 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.
Detached homes in Moortown 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 larger detached houses in Moortown 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.
Anywhere around Lidgett Lane and Shadwell Lane, or the streets behind them, is covered.
