Roofers who know Bradford
We cover Bradford and the surrounding area, including Shipley, Bingley, Baildon, Saltaire, Thornton and Queensbury. Roof replacements, chimney work and repairs on older terraced housing make up much of our work in the city.
Bradford has one of the largest stocks of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing in the country, much of it built from local sandstone with slate roofs. Back-to-backs, through terraces and larger stone villas all feature, and a large number of these roofs are now reaching the end of their life.
We travel into West Yorkshire regularly from Colne, and we plan Bradford jobs to keep them efficient. You deal with the same team from inspection to sign-off.

Planning a new roof in Bradford
Most homeowners in Bradford only replace a roof once, so it pays to know what a proper job involves before you compare quotes. A full replacement means stripping the old covering right back to the rafters. That lets us check every timber, replace anything rotten or weakened, and fit a new breathable membrane and new treated battens before the slates or tiles go back on. Quotes that skip the strip and simply overlay or patch can look cheaper, but they hide problems that shorten the life of the new roof.
Every full roof replacement we carry out in Bradford is overseen by building control. That gives you an independent check on the standard of work, and the paperwork you'll want when you come to sell. It also carries a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, so the guarantee stands even if anything were to happen to the business.
The details are where roofs in West Yorkshire tend to fail: ridges, verges, valleys, chimney flashings and the junctions with neighbouring roofs. We spend time on these because the weather here finds every weak spot. Where it suits the property, we can fit mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems that don't rely on mortar, and we renew lead where it meets chimneys and walls rather than patching it with sealant.
We keep you updated as the work happens. Payments are made in stages as the work progresses, never everything up front. If you're also thinking about solar panels, fitting them while the scaffolding is up in Bradford saves you paying for access twice.
Common roof problems in Bradford
Back-to-back roofs
Back-to-back houses share walls on three sides, so roof work has to be carefully coordinated at the junctions with neighbouring roofs. Party wall junctions, shared chimneys and gutters all need proper detailing.
Large stone chimney stacks
Bradford terraces often have big shared stone stacks. Failed flaunching, eroded pointing and lifted lead are common sources of damp. We repair or remove stacks and handle the building control sign-off.
Hilltop exposure
Areas such as Queensbury and Thornton sit high above the city and are among the most exposed places in West Yorkshire. Roofs here need strong fixings and well-dressed flashings to cope with the wind.
Rental property upkeep
Bradford has many rented terraces. Landlords need roofs fixed properly and a clear record of work. We keep you updated before, during and after, so you don't need to visit.
