Homeowners and landlords in Roundhay call us for anything from a loose ridge tile to a complete re-roof. Insured, written quotes, drone photos where they help.
Roundhay is the grandest housing in north Leeds: tall Victorian and Edwardian villas, mansion conversions and substantial inter-war detached homes on the roads around the park. Roundhay 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.

Find out more →The streets around the park hold some of the best housing stock in Leeds, and the roofs are the proof of it. Roundhay roofers work on tall Victorian and Edwardian villas with steep Welsh slate pitches, decorative ridge, turrets, dormers and multi-flue stacks, on mansion conversions split into apartments, and on substantial inter-war detached houses along Old Park Road, Princes Avenue and Lidgett Lane. Roundhay roofing is high, complicated and very visible, so the standard of the leadwork and the match of the slate both matter.
Nail sickness runs through the period stock. The slate is sound, the iron fixings are not, and the roof sheds slates in ones and twos until a strip and re-slate is the only honest answer. Alongside that we do a lot of lead: valleys between wings, secret gutters behind parapets, dormer cheeks and bay roofs, much of it originally undersized and now fatigued and split along the folds. Roof repairs in Roundhay are frequently a leadwork and access problem before they are a tiling problem.
The park, the ravine and the mature trees on almost every street shade these roofs and drop a great deal onto them. Valleys and hidden gutters block first, and because they discharge into the roof rather than over the eaves, a blockage runs into the building for weeks before it stains a ceiling. Anyone with a villa here should have the valleys cleared as well as the gutters, and the lead checked at the same time.
We are around twenty-five to thirty minutes away on the A61 and through north Leeds, and Roundhay is one of the areas we work in most often. Welsh slate re-roofs, lead valleys, parapet and secret gutter relining, dormer and turret work, chimney rebuilds, roof repairs, cast iron gutter repair, fascias, soffits and flat roofing. We survey free, photograph the whole roof by drone including the parts you cannot see from the garden, and put the price in writing with a ten-year workmanship guarantee. Call 0113 460 1042.
The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Roundhay 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 Roundhay 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.
Blocks of flats in Roundhay nearly always mean a flat roof, parapets and a management company. We produce a condition report with photographs before anything is priced, quote the whole roof rather than a patch, and keep the residents informed while the work is on.
