Harrogate-based roofers covering Thorp Arch (LS23). Roof repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs, chimneys and gutters, priced in writing and guaranteed for ten years.
Thorp Arch is a small limestone estate village round a green, with cottages, a church, a mill site by the river and a big trading estate just beyond the houses. Thorp Arch is roughly half an hour from Harrogate down the A61 or A658, and we are on that side of the county most weeks. Most Thorp Arch jobs begin with a call about a damp patch or a slate on the lawn, followed by a free look at the roof, usually with the drone up so you can see the pictures too.
Fibreglass, EPDM and torch-on felt for extensions, garages, dormers and bays. Laid to fall so water actually leaves.

Find out more →A green, a church, limestone cottages and a river bridge: Thorp Arch is a small estate village, and most of its roofs are natural slate or stone slate on old timbers, with lime-mortared stacks and stone verges. Beyond the houses the trading estate brings large commercial roofs into the same postcode, so roofers in Thorp Arch may be re-fixing hand-sorted stone slate on a cottage one day and surveying a warehouse roof the next. Both are work we do, and both start with a proper survey.
On the village properties the faults are the traditional ones: peg and nail failure letting slates slip, torching gone, lime pointing washed out of the stacks and verges, and previous repairs made with hard cement that has trapped damp in soft limestone. On the trading estate the picture is sheet fixings, corroded gutters, cracked rooflights and failed laps. Roof repairs in Thorp Arch therefore need either a conservation approach or an industrial one, and using the wrong one is expensive.
The Wharfe runs right alongside the village, and the low riverside ground keeps the air damp with mist well into the morning through autumn and winter. Mature trees along the river and around the green drop heavily into gutters and valleys. Limestone and stone slate that stay wet for months take frost damage, so clearing gutters, keeping pointing sound and removing moss carefully is worth far more here than any coating or treatment sold at the door.

Cottages and farmhouses around Thorp Arch 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.
Listed buildings and conservation streets in Thorp Arch come with rules, and rightly so. Matched slate, lime rather than cement, lead worked traditionally, and a clear word from us about whether consent is needed before we quote. It is the kind of work we like doing well.
Terraced roofs around Thorp Arch are simple shapes with awkward details: back gutters behind the stacks, parapet gutters holding water, and slates held on by rusting nails. We sort the cause rather than chase the drip.
Newer houses in Thorp Arch 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 Church Causeway and the bridge to Boston Spa, or the streets behind them, is covered.
