Roofers in Roundhay
Roundhay's big Victorian and Edwardian houses have roofs to match: large slate slopes, tall chimneys, lead valleys and dormers. We cover Roundhay, Oakwood and Street Lane, from a slipped slate to a full re-roof, priced in writing before we start.
The roofs we see in Roundhay
What's on the roofs around LS8, and what tends to go wrong with them.
Victorian and Edwardian villas
Welsh slate on steep, complicated roofs with lead valleys and hips. When the nails give out the slates start to slide, and one slipped slate is usually a sign of more to come.
Tall chimney stacks
Big period stacks take the weather on every side. Failed pointing, flaunching or lead at the base is the usual cause of damp on a chimney breast.
1930s semis around Street Lane
Hipped tile roofs, often with bay and porch roofs. Ridge and hip mortar is normally the first thing to go.
Parts of Roundhay are in a conservation area, which can affect materials and anything you can see from the street. We'll flag it if we think it applies to your house, and match the slate so the roof still looks right.

Questions from Roundhay customers
Straight answers before you book.
Can you match the slate on an older house?
Usually. We'll reuse the sound slate where we can and match the rest, then show you what we plan to use before ordering anything.
Do you do lead valleys and flashings?
Yes. Valleys, flashings and soakers are renewed properly rather than patched, because that's where big period roofs usually let water in.
Do you cover Oakwood and Street Lane?
Yes, along with Roundhay itself and the surrounding area. Send your postcode and we'll confirm.
What our Roundhay dormer project shows
The top, the front roof and the roof windows were separate parts of the same job.
A documented dormer roof
The Roundhay project includes a felted dormer top, a tiled front roof and two Velux windows. Use the photographs when discussing dormer roofing and the scope you need.
Roof windows and flashings
For an existing window that leaks, tell us whether it happens during ordinary or wind-driven rain. Our roof window service distinguishes window surrounds and roof junctions from a whole-roof replacement.
