Pitched and flat roofing in Rawdon (LS19): repairs, re-covers, chimney work and guttering from an insured local team with a written guarantee.
Rawdon climbs the hill above the airport, with old stone cottages at the top, Victorian villas in the trees at Cragg Wood and estate housing spreading down the slopes. Rawdon 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 New Road Side and Cragg Wood, 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.

Find out more →Rawdon climbs a long hill, and the roofs get grander as you go. Stone cottages and terraces around Town Street and Little London at the top, Victorian villas in the trees at Cragg Wood with steep slate pitches and complicated shapes, inter-war semis along New Road Side, and estate housing spreading down towards the airport. Rawdon roofers need reclaimed slate and stone for the old end of the village and standard tile stock for the newer streets, and a fair number of properties here need scaffold rather than ladders because of the fall of the land.
The Cragg Wood villas produce the most involved work: lead valleys between wings, dormer and turret leadwork, tall multi-flue stacks and slate that is nail-sick after well over a century. On the stone terraces it is slipped slates, stone verge pointing and back gutters. Roof repairs Rawdon households ring about on the newer estates are much simpler, usually ridge and hip mortar, dry-verge caps or a rear extension flat roof that has reached the end of its felt.
The hillside position cuts both ways. Houses at the top get the full force of the wind coming over the moor edge and off the airport plateau, so verge and ridge fixings matter; houses lower down at Cragg Wood sit under heavy mature woodland and lose their gutters and valleys to leaf fall every autumn. Aircraft noise also means people rarely hear tiles shifting overhead, so an annual look is worth more here than in a quiet village.
Rawdon is a straightforward twenty-five minute run from Harrogate on the A658 past the airport, which makes it one of the easier areas for us to reach and to return to if anything needs another look.

The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Rawdon 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.
Cottages and farmhouses around Rawdon 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.
The 1930s houses in Rawdon 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.
The modern estates in Rawdon 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.
