01 · Roof Repairs
Roof Repairs in Wetherby
Most leaks come down to one weak point – a slipped tile, a tired valley or a lifted flashing. We find it, fix it properly and make sure your Wetherby home stays dry through the winter.
Water can travel a long way before it shows on a ceiling, so we check the roof and the loft space where possible to trace it back to the source. You’ll see photos of the problem and get a fixed price before we start.
We repair slate and tile roofs of every age, matching the existing materials so the repair sits in neatly with the rest of the roof.
- Leak traced to source
- Photos before & after
- Fixed price first
- Repair-first advice
- Matched slates & tiles
- Tidy site

06Gutter & fascia fixes
Leaking joints and loose or damaged roofline sorted while we’re on site.
02 · New Roofs
New Roofs & Re-Roofing in Wetherby
If tiles are slipping all over the roof and leaks keep coming back, it’s time to stop patching. We re-roof homes across Wetherby in natural slate and modern tiles, built properly from the timbers up.
Older roofs fail from underneath – corroded nails, rotten battens and perished felt – which is why one repair is soon followed by another.
A re-roof with us includes scaffolding, stripping, timber checks and repairs, breathable membrane, new treated battens, your new slates or tiles and neatly finished ridges, verges, valleys and lead.
- Materials agreed first
- Watertight every night
- Timbers checked
- Breathable membrane
- Waste removed
- Guaranteed work
Your Re-Roofing Options
01Natural slate
Ideal for Wetherby’s stone properties – durable, traditional and very long-lasting.
02Concrete & clay tiles
Affordable and hard-wearing, in styles to suit modern and older homes.
03Full strip & re-roof
Everything stripped back, timbers checked and the roof rebuilt layer by layer.
04Dry ridge & verge
Mechanically fixed systems that won’t crack or blow loose like mortar.
05Lead & dormers
Flashings, valleys and dormer cheeks detailed to stay watertight.
06Roof windows & solar
Roof windows fitted and roofs prepared for future solar panels.
03 · Flat Roofing
Flat Roofing in Wetherby
Swap a tired felt roof for a modern system that lasts. We install seamless GRP fibreglass and single-sheet EPDM rubber roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and commercial buildings around Wetherby.
Flat roofs on garages and extensions are often the first part of a house to let water in, especially when they’re still on old felt.
We strip the old covering, replace any rotten decking, add insulation if needed and finish with new trims and outlets. If your roof only needs a repair, we’ll tell you.
- Felt stripped back
- Decking replaced
- Insulation options
- GRP or EPDM
- New trims & outlets
- Guaranteed work
Flat Roofs We Install & Repair
01GRP fibreglass
A seamless, rigid finish for garages, extensions and balconies.
02EPDM rubber
A flexible single membrane that handles movement – great for bigger roofs.
03Garage roofs
Old garage roofs stripped, decking renewed and a new roof fitted.
04Extensions & lanterns
Extension and dormer roofs with properly detailed lantern upstands.
05Repairs
Splits, blisters and failed upstands fixed when the roof is otherwise sound.
06Commercial roofs
Flat roofs for units and premises, planned to minimise disruption.
04 · Chimney Repairs
Chimney Repairs in Wetherby
A worn chimney stack is one of the most common causes of damp we find. We repoint, re-flaunch and renew the lead on brick and stone chimneys across Wetherby to stop the water getting in.
Chimneys take more weather than any other part of the house. Once the pointing erodes or the lead lifts, rain runs straight down the stack and shows up as damp inside.
We inspect the stack, explain the cause and repair it – with lime-based mortars on older stone chimneys where they suit the building.
- Brick & stone stacks
- Lime mortar options
- New lead flashings
- Pots & cowls
- Photos of the work
- Safe access
Chimney Repair Services
01Repointing
Eroded joints raked out and repointed to keep the stack strong and dry.
02Lead flashings
New flashings where the stack meets the roof – the usual source of leaks.
03Flaunching & pots
Cracked flaunching renewed and loose pots refixed or replaced.
04Caps & cowls
Unused flues capped to keep out rain, birds and debris.
05 · Gutters, Fascias & Soffits
Gutters, Fascias & Soffits in Wetherby
A failing roofline sends rainwater down your walls. We fit low-maintenance UPVC fascias and soffits and guttering that drains properly, or repair the sections causing trouble.
Blocked, leaking or sagging gutters are a common cause of damp walls and stained brick and stone – and usually a simple fix.
We repair individual leaks, replace runs of guttering or renew the whole roofline in one visit, in a colour to suit your home.
- Old boards removed
- UPVC fascias & soffits
- Gutters & downpipes
- Eaves checked
- Colour options
- Waste taken away
Roofline Work
01Guttering
New gutters and downpipes fitted with the right fall to drain well.
02Gutter repairs
Leaking joints, sagging sections and loose brackets fixed.
03Fascias
Rotten timber boards replaced with durable UPVC.
04Soffits
Neat UPVC soffits with ventilation where your roof needs it.
06 · Damp Proofing & Plastering
Damp Proofing & Plastering in Wetherby
Damp patches, peeling paint and musty smells all have a cause. We find out whether it’s rising damp, water getting in from outside or condensation, sort it properly and re-plaster the walls.
In older stone homes the cause is often outside – a leaking gutter, worn pointing or a roof defect – rather than rising damp from the ground.
As roofers and builders we can fix those outside problems ourselves, then remove damaged plaster and re-plaster or skim, leaving walls ready to decorate.
- Damp survey
- Outside defects fixed
- Right treatment
- Old plaster removed
- Re-plastered
- Ready to decorate
Damp & Plastering Work
01Rising damp
Treatments to stop moisture rising from the ground, plus new plaster.
02Penetrating damp
Water ingress traced to walls, roofs or gutters and fixed at source.
03Condensation
Ventilation improvements to cut condensation and mould.
04Tanking
Waterproofing cellars and walls that hold back ground.
05Re-plastering
Damaged plaster removed and walls re-plastered.
06Skimming
Walls and ceilings re-skimmed to a smooth, paint-ready finish.
07 · Rendering & Repointing
Rendering & Repointing in Wetherby
Fresh pointing and sound render keep rain out of your walls and lift the look of your home. We repoint brick and stone and apply render, K-Rend and pebble dash across Wetherby.
Once pointing wears back or render cracks, rain soaks into the wall and frost makes the damage worse each winter.
On traditional stone we’ll recommend breathable lime-based mortars where appropriate, colour-matched to the existing pointing.
- Brick & stone
- Chimney stacks
- Lime mortar options
- Colour-matched
- Render & K-Rend
- Pebble dash
Pointing & Wall Finishes
01Repointing
Worn joints raked out and repointed on walls and chimneys.
02Rendering
Protective render for a clean, refreshed exterior.
03K-Rend
Through-coloured render that resists cracking and fading.
04Pebble dash
A tough textured finish, or repairs to existing pebble dash.
08 · Building & Patios
Building & Patios in Wetherby
Our builders also create outdoor spaces made to last – Indian sandstone and porcelain patios, garden and retaining walls, raised beds and fencing, all on proper foundations.
Good paving starts underground – the right depth of compacted sub-base and falls that carry water away from the house.
On sloping plots, retaining walls, steps and raised beds can turn awkward levels into space you’ll actually use.
- Survey & layout
- Excavation & sub-base
- Drainage & falls
- Walls & steps
- Raised beds & fencing
- Waste removed
Outdoor Building Work
01Sandstone patios
Natural Indian sandstone with a warm, varied finish.
02Porcelain paving
Modern, hard-wearing slabs that are easy to clean.
03Garden walls
Boundary and feature walls built neatly in brick or stone.
04Retaining walls
Walls that hold back soil and create level areas.
05Raised beds
Custom raised beds and garden features.
06Fencing
Strong fencing with properly set posts.

Questions
Roofers in Wetherby – your questions answered
Can’t see your question here? Give us a ring on 07482 333 160 – we’re happy to talk it through.
Do you offer free roofing quotes in Wetherby?
Yes. We’ll inspect the roof and give you a fixed written quote with no obligation. You can also WhatsApp us a few photos first for an idea of what’s involved.
What roofing services do you provide?
Roof repairs, slate and tile re-roofs, GRP and EPDM flat roofs, chimney repairs, leadwork and gutters, fascias and soffits – plus damp proofing, plastering, rendering, repointing and building work.
Do you work on older stone properties in Wetherby?
Yes. We work on traditional stone homes in and around the town centre, matching slates and tiles and using suitable mortars. If your home is listed or in a conservation area we’ll advise you on what may need checking with Leeds City Council.
Will you recommend a repair rather than a new roof?
Wherever a repair will do the job, yes. We only suggest a re-roof if the roof has genuinely reached the end of its life, and we’ll show you why.
Are you insured?
Yes – all our work is fully insured and our workmanship is guaranteed. We’ll explain what the guarantee covers when we quote.
Which areas around Wetherby do you cover?
All of Wetherby and LS22/LS23, including Boston Spa, Collingham, Linton, Bramham, Thorp Arch, Clifford, Kirk Deighton and Spofforth, plus Harrogate, Knaresborough and Tadcaster.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords and commercial premises, including units on local trading estates.
How quickly can you come out?
We’ll book a survey as soon as we can. If water is coming in, let us know when you call and we’ll do our best to make the roof safe quickly.
How much does a roof repair cost in Wetherby?
It depends on the fault and access. A few tiles costs far less than a valley or full ridge. After a free inspection you’ll get a fixed written price.
Can you repair a roof without scaffolding?
Many small repairs can be done safely with roof ladders or access towers. Where scaffolding is needed, it’s included in your quote.
How much is a new roof in Wetherby?
Price depends on roof size and shape, slate or tile, scaffolding, chimneys and timber repairs. We provide a free survey and an itemised written quote.
How long does a re-roof take?
Most houses take from several days to a couple of weeks, depending on size and weather. We’ll give you a realistic timescale when we quote.
Is GRP or EPDM better for my flat roof?
GRP is rigid and seamless with a smart finish; EPDM is a flexible single sheet that copes well with movement on larger roofs. We’ll recommend what suits your roof.
How long does a garage roof take?
Most garage and extension roofs are completed in a day or two, depending on size and weather.
What causes a chimney to leak?
Usually failed lead flashings, eroded pointing, cracked flaunching or rain entering an open flue. We’ll inspect it to find the cause.
Do you repair stone chimneys?
Yes – brick and stone stacks, using lime-based mortar on older stone where appropriate.
Do fascias and gutters need replacing together?
If the fascias are rotten the gutters have to come off anyway, so replacing both together usually works out cheaper.
Can you repair just one leaking section?
Yes – single leaks and damaged sections can be repaired without replacing the whole system.
How do I know what kind of damp I have?
Where it appears, how it looks and when it gets worse all give clues. We inspect inside and out before recommending anything.
Do you re-plaster after damp treatment?
Yes – we remove salt-damaged plaster and re-plaster or skim so the walls are ready to decorate.
When does a wall need repointing?
When joints have worn back from the face of the brick or stone, or the mortar crumbles to the touch.
What is K-Rend?
A modern through-coloured render that doesn’t need painting and resists cracking and fading.
Which is better – sandstone or porcelain?
Sandstone has a natural, varied look; porcelain is uniform, very hard-wearing and easy to clean. We’ll help you choose.
Do you remove old patios?
Yes – we lift and dispose of old paving and prepare the ground properly for the new patio.
