Looking for a roofer in Wetherby? We cover LS22 from Harrogate with a free survey, a written quote and work that is done properly the first time.
Wetherby is a Wharfe-side market town of Georgian and Victorian frontages round the Market Place, stone cottages on the riverside lanes and post-war and modern estates on the hills above. Wetherby is roughly half an hour from Harrogate down the A61 or A658, and we are on that side of the county most weeks. The same handful of faults come up again and again on Wetherby roofs, and we know which of them need a repair and which are the roof telling you it is done.

Find out more →Wetherby is a market town on the Wharfe, and its roofs are worth the care they need. Georgian and Victorian frontages round the Market Place carry Welsh slate and stone slate behind parapets and on steep pitches, the riverside lanes have stone cottages under heavy graded slate, and the estates up on Spofforth Hill, Hallfield Lane and the Deighton Road side are inter-war and modern tile. Roofers in Wetherby therefore need reclaimed material and lead skills for the centre and ordinary tiling for the edges.
In the town centre the work is frequently leadwork and hidden gutters. Parapet and box gutters behind those handsome frontages were sized for a different climate, and when they block or the lining fatigues the water goes straight into the building. Above the shops and pubs the stacks are tall, lime-pointed and long overdue attention. On the estates the jobs are the familiar ones, ridge and hip bedding, perished eaves felt, tired fascias and rear extension flat roofs that have had their day.
The river and the valley shape the maintenance calendar. Damp air off the Wharfe, mist in the mornings and mature trees along the riverside lanes mean heavy moss on north slopes and gutters that fill twice a year. The town also sits open to the north and west on the higher ground, so ridge and verge on the estates take the wind, while the conservation area limits what can be used on a repair. Both facts are worth knowing before anyone quotes you.

Cottages and farmhouses around Wetherby 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.
On protected buildings in Wetherby our approach is repair first: keep every sound slate, make up the shortfall with reclaimed stock of the same size and thickness, and put the lead back the way it was meant to be.
On the terraces in Wetherby the chimneys are shared and so, often, are the gutters, so a problem next door soon turns up in your bedroom. Party-wall stacks, rotten timber gutters, slipped slates and soakers make up most of the work.
The modern estates in Wetherby 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.
Anywhere around Hallfield Lane and Spofforth Hill, or the streets behind them, is covered.
