Thirsk is a North Yorkshire market town with everything from pantiled cottages in the old streets to modern estates on the edges, so the right answer changes house by house. In practice most of what we are called out to Thirsk for is pantile re-roofs, 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.

Yes, and it is the point of the firm. Roofing and building are both in-house, so an extension in Thirsk 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.
