What we do here

Roofing and building in Leyburn.

Leyburn is a Dales market town where stone buildings, slate and pantile roofs and exposed weather set the standard the work has to meet, and quick-fix materials that suit a city semi simply do not last here. In practice most of what we are called out to Leyburn for is stone roof re-lays, with the rest of both trades available alongside it.

Full re-roof in progress, new tiles going down

Re-Roofs

A full strip and re-tile done properly: old coverings off, timbers inspected, new breathable membrane and battens down, then slate or tile laid in clean courses with an all-new dry ridge system on top, so there is no mortar to crack and nothing to maintain.

Roofing
Repair work on a weathered roof slope

Roof Repairs

Slipped tiles, storm damage, leaking valleys, cracked flashings and ridges working loose: most roof problems are small if they are caught early and expensive if they are left.

Roofing
Finished flat roof with new coping stones

Flat Roofing

Flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and bay windows, built up properly with the falls set so water actually leaves the roof, edges dressed clean and new copings or trims to finish.

Roofing
New slate laid in even courses

Slate & Tile Roofing

Natural slate, pantiles, plain tiles and concrete interlockers, laid to the bond and detail the roof was designed for.

Roofing
Roofline with fascia and guttering ready for renewal

Extensions & Alterations

Single and double storey extensions, garage conversions and structural alterations, built from the footings up by one team that also puts the roof on.

Building
Gable brickwork coursed up with cavity tray in

Brickwork & Blockwork

Garden walls, gables, garage and outbuilding walls, repointing and repairs, coursed clean and level.

Building
New patio laid to falls against fresh brickwork

Patios & Paving

Patios, paths and paved areas laid on a proper sub-base with full mortar beds, set to falls so rainwater runs away from the house, and pointed or jointed to a finish that stays put.

Building
Finished garden room, brickwork and patio lit up at night

Garden Buildings

Brick-built garden rooms, home offices, gyms and outbuildings, built off proper foundations with insulated walls, real roofs and power, so they are usable in January, not just July.

Building
Renovated interior with the stove in and finishes done

Renovations

Full and partial renovations of older properties: reconfigured rooms, new openings, replastered walls, new floors, and the roof, brickwork and damp problems that older houses around North Yorkshire actually have, fixed rather than papered over.

Building
Blockwork garden wall under construction

General Building

The building work that keeps a house right: garden walls, concrete bases, fencing posts set in properly, sheds re-roofed, doors and openings altered, render patched, slabs laid, and the list of jobs that has been growing on the fridge for a year.

Questions

Working in Leyburn.

What roofing and building work do you do in Leyburn?

Across Leyburn (DL8) we mostly handle stone roof re-lays, chimney work and renovations on Dales properties. Leyburn is a Dales market town where stone buildings, slate and pantile roofs and exposed weather set the standard the work has to meet, and quick-fix materials that suit a city semi simply do not last here. Every job starts with a free look at the actual roof or site rather than a price guessed over the phone.

Do you charge extra to work in Leyburn?

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Leyburn is about 10 miles from our Bedale base, a journey we make as a matter of course, which is why the coverage is stated up front rather than hidden in the small print.

Have you worked in Leyburn before?

Yes. Leyburn is our doorway into Wensleydale, where stone buildings and hard weather make roofing a different trade from the towns. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done near Market Place when you get in touch.

Does the housing in Leyburn affect how the job is done?

Very much so. Around Leyburn the older stock is solid stone with slate or pantile roofs, which means heavier coverings, lime mortars that must not be repointed in hard cement, and weather that finds every weak detail. It is exactly the work our roofing side grew up on, and the building side carries the same care into the walls and pointing.

Can you handle both the roof and the building work on one job in Leyburn?

Yes, and it is the point of the firm. Roofing and building are both in-house, so an extension in Leyburn gets its roof tiled and flashed by the same team that built the walls, and a chimney rebuild gets a bricklayer and a roofer in one visit instead of two firms blaming each other.

How quickly can you quote a job in Leyburn?

Usually within the week, and faster for urgent repairs. Quotes in Leyburn are free and carry no obligation, and you get the price in writing before any work starts.
