Roofers Weetwood

Pitched and flat roofing in Weetwood (LS16): repairs, re-covers, chimney work and guttering from an insured local team with a written guarantee.

Weetwood roofing: the short version

Weetwood is large period houses standing in mature grounds off the main road, with inter-war semis and later apartment blocks filling the land between them. Weetwood 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 Weetwood homes

Roofers in Weetwood: Weetwood roofing and roof repairs across LS16

Large period houses standing back in mature grounds define this part of LS16, and they come with roofs to match: steep slate pitches, gables and dormers, deep lead valleys between wings, and tall stacks carrying several flues each. Between and around them sit inter-war semis and later apartment blocks with far simpler roofs. Weetwood roofers need scaffold, proper leadwork skills and reclaimed slate for the big houses, and nothing more than a tower and standard tile stock for a good deal of the rest.

On the period properties the problems repeat: nail-sick slate that sheds a few at a time, lead valleys and secret gutters that have fatigued and split, and flashings to bay and dormer roofs that were patched with mastic somewhere along the way. On the apartment blocks it is flat roof sections, communal gutters and rooflights. Roofing in Weetwood often involves working with managing agents or several owners, so we put everything in writing with photographs from the start.

The woods and the big gardens here are the reason gutters and valleys need more attention than the roofs themselves. Heavy leaf fall from mature specimen trees blocks a valley within one autumn, and on these complicated roof shapes a blocked valley empties into the roof space rather than over the front of a gutter. North-facing slopes under tree cover stay damp and carry thick moss that holds water against the slate.

Weetwood is around thirty minutes from Harrogate on the A61 or the A658 and round, and it is an area we are in regularly. Welsh slate re-roofs, roof repairs, lead valleys, secret gutters and dormer work, chimney rebuilds and repointing, flat roofing, cast iron and modern guttering, fascias and soffits. Free drone survey so the high and hidden parts of the roof are actually seen, a written quote with nothing vague in it, and a ten-year guarantee on our workmanship. Call 0113 460 1042.

Weetwood houses and their roofs

Executive Detached Homes

The larger detached houses in Weetwood have big, busy roofs: several hips, long valleys, dormers and extensions bolted on over the years. The work has to be neat and the materials matched, and we look after the drive and the garden while we are there.

Period Villas

The Victorian and Edwardian villas in Weetwood 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.

1960s–70s Detached

Detached homes in Weetwood 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.

Modern Premium Builds

The larger detached houses in Weetwood have big, busy roofs: several hips, long valleys, dormers and extensions bolted on over the years. The work has to be neat and the materials matched, and we look after the drive and the garden while we are there.

Anywhere around Weetwood Lane and Spen Lane, or the streets behind them, is covered.
