Roofers Roundhay

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 roofing: the short version

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.

What we do for Roundhay homes

Roofers in Roundhay: Roundhay roofing and roof repairs across LS8

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.

Roundhay houses and their roofs

Victorian & Edwardian Villas

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 Family Homes

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.

Apartments & Mansion Conversions

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.

Modern Premium Builds

  • Yes, and just as honestly if you do not. A good share of the Roundhay roofs we look at want a repair, not a replacement. When a re-roof is the right call we explain why and quote both if that helps.
  • Every day. A slipped slate, a blocked gutter or a loose ridge is normal work for us in Roundhay, and we would rather fix it small than come back for something bigger.
  • It depends on the roof, so we do not publish prices. We visit, survey, and send a free written quote, usually within 24 hours, so you know where you stand before anything starts.
