Roofers in Horsforth
We work across Horsforth and the north-west of Leeds, from small repairs through to full re-roofs. We inspect the roof and explain the proposed work, with a written quote before we start.
The roofs we see in Horsforth
What's on the roofs around LS18, and what tends to go wrong with them.
Stone-built semis and detached
Larger roofs with more complicated shapes: valleys, hips and abutments, which is where most leaks start.
Loft conversions and dormers
Common in Horsforth, and the joins between dormer cheeks and the main roof are the usual source of a persistent damp patch.
Porches and bay roofs
Small areas that get overlooked, then leak for years before anyone looks properly at them.
Bigger Horsforth roofs often have more going on: valleys, dormers and multiple abutments. Those junctions are worth getting right rather than patching.

A nearby job
“Tom and Joe not only re-roofed the porches, they re-designed them so the leaking problems would not reoccur. They explained what they were doing and got it done in good time. Very neat quality work. Cheers!”
Questions from Horsforth customers
Straight answers before you book.
Do you work on dormers?
Yes: new dormer roofs, re-covering tired ones, and tracing leaks around the cheeks and flashings.
Can you work alongside my builder?
Yes. We're happy to do just the roofing element of a conversion and fit in with their programme.
Do you cover Cookridge, Rawdon and Yeadon?
Yes, and the surrounding areas. Send your postcode and we'll confirm.
What our Horsforth slate project shows
The existing covering can sometimes be retained as part of a carefully specified re-roof.
New and reused slate
On the Horsforth slate re-roof, the front was covered in new Spanish slate while the original Welsh slate was stripped and re-laid at the back. That is a real project, not a promise that every slate roof can be reused.
Consider adjoining roof details
Discuss flashings and any dormer junctions alongside the covering. Our new roof service and dormer roofing explain the separate elements to agree in the quote.
Rawdon, Yeadon and Guiseley
We cover LS19 and LS20 on the same visits as Horsforth, from small repairs to full re-roofs.
Stone terraces and cottages
The older streets of Rawdon, Yeadon and Guiseley are largely stone terraces and cottages, often in slate with a stack on the party wall. Pointing, flaunching and leadwork are usually the first things to check, so see our chimney repairs if damp shows on a chimney breast.
Higher, exposed ground
Yeadon and the land around Leeds Bradford Airport sit high and open, so wind-driven rain finds weak verges, ridges and lifted tiles. If a leak only appears in a storm, mention that when you ask about roof repairs.
Post-war semis and newer estates
Tiled semis and newer estates bring their own jobs: ridge and verge repairs, porch and bay roofs, and tired rooflines. Our fascias, soffits and gutters page covers overflowing or sagging gutter runs.
