Roof Repairs in Harrogate

It depends on the fault, the roof and the access. A few slates is a small job; a valley, chimney or full ridge is more involved. After a free inspection you get a fixed written price.

Yes. Repairs in Harrogate’s conservation areas are about like-for-like materials and careful detailing, and we’ll advise if anything needs checking with North Yorkshire Council.

We inspect the roof outside and the loft inside where possible. Water often travels before it shows, so we trace it back to where it actually gets in.

Usually blocked with debris or the lining has worn through. We’ll clear it and repair or replace it.

Usually rain is getting into the stack through worn pointing, cracked flaunching, failed lead or an open flue. We’ll find the cause.

On traditional stone chimneys, yes where appropriate – it lets the stone breathe and is kinder to softer stone.
