Roofers in Ilkley
Ilkley's Victorian stone houses have heavy slate roofs, big chimneys and a lot of lead, and they take the weather off the moor. We come up the A65 from our base in Farsley. New roofs, repairs, chimneys and lead work, priced in writing before we start.
The roofs we see in Ilkley
What's on the roofs around LS29, and what tends to go wrong with them.
Victorian stone villas
Welsh slate or stone slate on steep, complicated roofs. When the nails fail the slates slide, and the timbers underneath need checking before anything goes back on.
Chimneys and lead work
Big stone stacks, lead valleys and flashings. Most leaks on these roofs start at a junction, not in the middle of a slope.
Stone terraces and cottages
Smaller stone properties with heavy coverings, often bedded on mortar that's long past its best.
Much of central Ilkley is in a conservation area, which affects materials and anything visible from the street. We'll flag it if it applies to yours, and match the slate so the roof still looks right.

Questions from Ilkley customers
Straight answers before you book.
Do you come out as far as Ilkley?
Yes. Send your postcode and we'll confirm, and ring rather than wait for a reply if water is coming in.
Can you match old stone slate?
Usually we can reuse the sound slate and make up the shortfall with reclaimed. We'll show you before ordering anything.
Do you cover the rest of Wharfedale?
Send your postcode and we'll confirm.
Planning solar alongside roof maintenance
Use the existing condition of the roof to guide the order of the work.
A genuine Ilkley installation
Our Ilkley solar project shows hooks and rails fitted on a tiled roof before the panels. The electrical connection was handled by the qualified electrician described on that page.
Check before an array is fitted
Discuss any leaks or worn covering before booking solar roofing work. If roof replacement is already needed, dealing with it first avoids later work beneath an installed array.
