Looking for a roofer in Morley? We cover LS27 from Harrogate with a free survey, a written quote and work that is done properly the first time.
Morley is a proper stone town with its own centre, mill-era terraces on the hills, inter-war semis on the outskirts and large modern estates filling the gaps towards the motorway. Morley is towards the far edge of what we cover, but we run into Leeds all the time and the price is for the work, not the mileage. If you live around Fountain Street and Albert Road, 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.
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 →Fibreglass, EPDM and torch-on felt for extensions, garages, dormers and bays. Laid to fall so water actually leaves.
Find out more →Welsh slate on the Victorian villas, stone slate on the dales cottages, clay and concrete on the estates. Matched, not approximated.
Find out more →Repointing, rebuilds, pots, cowls, lead trays and flashings on the tall stacks Harrogate is full of. Removals below the line too.
Find out more →Rotten boards out, UPVC or timber in, vents kept clear. Done alongside the gutters so the scaffold is only up once.
Find out more →Storm damage and sudden leaks made safe the same day across Harrogate, Knaresborough and north Leeds. Proper repair after.
Find out more →Morley is a town rather than a suburb, and its roofs reflect that. The centre around Fountain Street and Albert Road is stone-built with Welsh slate, steep pitches and tall stacks; the hillsides carry rows of mill-era terraces; and the outer edges are inter-war semis and large modern estates in concrete tile. Morley roofing work therefore splits neatly into heritage repair in the middle and straightforward tile work on the outside, and roofers in Morley who only do one of those two are no use for half the town.
On the stone terraces the recurring jobs are nail-sick slate, back gutters behind shared chimney stacks, and stone verges where the pointing has washed out and the wind gets underneath. On the semis and estates it is bedded ridge and hip mortar, perished eaves felt and rear extension flat roofs. Slate repairs on the town centre buildings need reclaimed Welsh slate of the right size, not a modern substitute that will stand out from the street for the next forty years.
Morley sits high, on a ridge with the M62 corridor on one side and open ground towards Gildersome and Churwell on the other. It gets more weather than most of Leeds and more of it from the west. That shows up as lifted verge slates, displaced ridge and, on the steeper old roofs, slates driven off in a single night. Where we replace ridge or verge on an exposed Morley gable we fix mechanically so it stays put.
It is a fair drive from Harrogate, roughly forty-five minutes down through Leeds or round by the ring road, and we plan Morley work into the same days as our other south-west Leeds jobs so nobody waits about. Roof repairs, full re-roofs, reclaimed slate work, chimney rebuilds and repointing, leadwork, flat roofing, fascias, soffits and guttering. Surveyed free with drone photographs, quoted in writing with a clear scope so you know exactly what you are paying for, and guaranteed for ten years on workmanship. Ring 0113 460 1042.
The 1930s houses in Morley 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 housing in Morley 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 Morley 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.
Newer houses in Morley still have roof problems, just different ones: dry-verge caps lifting, ridges that were never bedded properly, and snagging the builder walked away from. We put the details right and take over where the warranty ran out.
Anywhere around Fountain Street and Albert Road, or the streets behind them, is covered.

Covered from Harrogate, further out, but well inside our patch.
