A local team to talk your roof through with
We’re York Roofer. We work on pitched and flat roofs, chimneys and rainwater systems across York and the surrounding towns and villages. You can speak to us about a single loose tile just as you can about replacing the roof over the whole house.
When you call, tell us what first drew your attention to the problem. Perhaps a bedroom ceiling marks only when the wind comes from one direction, or a gutter overflows even in light rain. Details like these help us decide what to look at when we see the property.

What have you noticed?
You don’t need to know the name of a roof part to ask for help. Start with what you can see from the ground or inside your home.
A damp patch after rain
Water can travel along timbers and show up some distance from the gap where it entered. Tell us which room is affected, when you last saw it wet and whether the patch grows each time it rains. We look at the covering above and the nearby junctions, including valleys and chimney flashings.
Pieces of tile or mortar on the ground
Look up from a safe spot and let us know which side of the house the pieces fell from. A broken tile on the main slope and loose mortar from a ridge need different repairs. Leave loose material overhead for us to inspect and keep people away from the area immediately below.
Water spilling down the wall
A gutter may be full, have a leaking joint or slope away from its outlet. Watch where the water starts in wet weather if you can do so from indoors. A short description of the overflow is often more helpful than a photograph taken once the gutter has dried.
Can we repair the roof?
A leak doesn’t automatically mean the roof needs replacing. If one slate has slipped and its neighbours, fixings and supporting timbers are sound, a local repair may be all that’s needed. Where tiles keep moving or several different areas let in water, it’s worth looking at the roof as a whole.
Access is part of that decision. If scaffolding is needed, you may want to know whether the chimney or gutters need attention while it is in place. We can discuss what needs doing now and what can wait, so you can compare the scope of a repair with a replacement.
Read about roof repairsWorking across York
and the surrounding area
We take enquiries from York itself and nearby communities including Haxby, Bishopthorpe, Tadcaster, Selby and Wetherby. Send the full property postcode when you get in touch. This helps us plan a visit, whether you are in central York’s YO1 district near the Minster or in a neighbourhood further from the city centre.
If access is shared with a neighbour, through a narrow passage or from a busy street, mention it when arranging a visit. It helps us understand how we can see the roof and what space may be available for access equipment.

What should I include when I ask for a quote?
Give us the postcode, your contact details and a description of the roof. Mention when you noticed the problem, whether there have been earlier repairs and whether the roof can be seen from the street or garden. You can still get in touch if you don’t know the roof material.
Can you look at the guttering as well as the roof?
Yes. Tell us about both when arranging the visit. A damp area near the eaves can involve the roof edge, the gutter or the way water reaches the downpipe. Seeing them together can help explain what is happening.
Will a photograph be enough to price the work?
A ground-level view can help us understand your enquiry. Hidden layers, the condition of neighbouring tiles and the access needed can all affect a quotation. We’ll tell you when we need to see the roof before we can price a particular repair.
Do you quote for a garage or extension roof?
Yes. Let us know what the space is used for, where the outlet is and whether you have seen water inside. A roof over a heated room raises different insulation questions from one over an unheated garage.
