Richmond is one of the best-kept Georgian towns in the country, and roofing here means slate, lead and details done the traditional way. From a slipped tile to a full re-roof or extension, we cover Richmond and the surrounding DL10 villages as a matter of course.

Richmond carries a conservation area at its core, where roof coverings, chimneys and details are expected to match what came before, and done well that is protection for the value of the house rather than red tape. In practice most of what we are called out to Richmond for is slate roofing, with the rest of both trades available alongside it.
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
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
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
Natural slate, pantiles, plain tiles and concrete interlockers, laid to the bond and detail the roof was designed for.
Roofing
Flashings, valleys, back gutters, chimney repointing, re-flaunching and reduction work.
Roofing
New uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering fitted straight, sealed and falling the right way, plus repairs, unblocking and realignment where the existing run just needs putting right.
Roofing
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
Garden walls, gables, garage and outbuilding walls, repointing and repairs, coursed clean and level.
Building
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
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
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
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.
BuildingAcross Richmond (DL10) we mostly handle slate roofing, leadwork and sympathetic repairs around the conservation area. Richmond carries a conservation area at its core, where roof coverings, chimneys and details are expected to match what came before, and done well that is protection for the value of the house rather than red tape. Every job starts with a free look at the actual roof or site rather than a price guessed over the phone.
No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Richmond 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.
Yes. Richmond is one of the best-kept Georgian towns in the country, and roofing here means slate, lead and details done the traditional way. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done near Castle when you get in touch.
Yes, and it changes how the job is done. A good share of Richmond’s houses sit in or near the conservation area, where a re-roof is expected to go back in the material that came off, ridge and verge details matter, and modern shortcuts like plastic verge caps can be the wrong answer. We price the sympathetic version from the start, because that is the version that gets approved and the version the street deserves.
Yes, and it is the point of the firm. Roofing and building are both in-house, so an extension in Richmond 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.
