Full re-roofs with quality materials and a 10-year workmanship guarantee. Clear, itemised quotes with no surprises. Covering Leeds and all of West Yorkshire with free, no-obligation quotes.
Every re-roof in Leeds starts with a full survey — we inspect the timber structure, check for rot or woodworm, assess ventilation, and specify the right materials for your property type. A Victorian terrace in Harehills needs a different specification to a 1930s semi in Moortown. We get this right before ordering a single tile.
Scaffold goes up on day one. We strip the old covering, inspect and repair the timber deck, lay breathable membrane, batten out to manufacturer specification, and tile or slate from eaves to ridge. On a typical 3-bed in Leeds, the process takes 3–5 working days depending on weather and complexity. We keep you informed every day and leave the site clean every evening.
A properly specified re-roof in Leeds using quality materials should last 50–80 years depending on the covering. Concrete interlocking tiles give 50–60 years. Natural slate — 80–100 years if the fixings are right. The critical factor in West Yorkshire is specifying fixings and flashings that withstand the Pennine weather cycle — freeze-thaw, driving rain, and high wind exposure all year round.
Leeds has one of the most diverse housing stocks of any UK city, and this directly affects how we approach roof replacement work. Victorian back-to-backs in Harehills and Hyde Park have Welsh slate roofs with original timber lath beneath — repairs need to respect the existing construction method. Edwardian villas in Roundhay and Chapel Allerton often have complex roof geometry with multiple valleys, dormers and chimney stacks — each junction is a potential failure point that needs careful attention.
The 1930s semi-detached housing across Moortown, Oakwood and Alwoodley typically has concrete interlocking tiles — many now 80+ years old and reaching end of design life. Post-war council estates at Seacroft, Gipton and Belle Isle have their own specific issues, including nail sickness on concrete tile roofs and flat roof failures on kitchen and bathroom extensions added in the 1960s and 1970s.
Modern housing on the Leeds periphery — new-build estates in Garforth, Rothwell and the South Bank development — has different challenges again: builder-grade materials that sometimes underperform, warranty claims that need manufacturer liaison, and specifications that may not be adequate for the Pennine-fringe climate that Leeds experiences.
Leeds sits on the eastern edge of the Pennines, where Atlantic weather systems deliver their payload of rain, wind and temperature extremes. The city receives over 800mm of rainfall annually — significantly more than the English average. Westerly winds drive rain horizontally into roof junctions, flashings and mortar joints. Winter freeze-thaw cycles work moisture into every crack and expand it. Summer heat expands lead flashings, and winter cold contracts them, working the joints loose over time.
These conditions mean that roofing work in Leeds must be specified to a higher standard than in sheltered lowland areas. Materials rated for moderate exposure will fail faster here. Fixings must account for high wind loads. Lead must be properly dressed and chased into mortar joints deep enough to resist thermal movement. We specify every job for Leeds conditions — not for the national average.
Call 0113 345 6859 or use the form on this page. We answer the phone personally — you will speak to someone who understands roofing, not a call centre. We will arrange a free site visit, usually within 48 hours. The survey is carried out from roof level — we get up there and inspect properly, not just look from the pavement. Within 24 hours of the survey, you receive a written, itemised quote that breaks down every element of the work. No hidden costs, no call-out fees, no pressure. If you choose to proceed, we schedule the work at a time that suits you and keep you informed at every stage.
Typical price range: £4,000–£15,000
All quotes are free, written, itemised and no-obligation. The final price depends on the scope of work, materials specified and access requirements. We survey in person and explain everything before you commit.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Honest pricing from local roofers.

A full roof replacement in Leeds typically costs between £4,000 and £15,000 depending on the size of the roof, the materials specified, and the condition of the underlying timber. A standard 3-bed semi is usually £5,500–£8,000. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a free survey.
A typical 3-bed semi in Leeds takes 3–5 working days from scaffold erection to completion. Larger detached properties may take 5–8 days. We give you a realistic timeline in the quote and update you daily on progress.
In most cases, a like-for-like roof replacement does not require planning permission in Leeds. If you are changing the roof height, material type, or if your property is in a conservation area or is listed, you may need approval from Leeds City Council. We advise on this during the survey.
We use concrete interlocking tiles, natural slate, clay tiles and Yorkshire stone slate depending on your property type and budget. All materials are sourced from reputable UK suppliers and specified to withstand West Yorkshire weather conditions. We discuss options and costs during the survey.
Yes — full scaffold is required for any roof replacement for safety and access. Scaffold hire is included in our quote. We arrange erection and dismantling as part of the project so you do not need to organise anything separately.
If we find rot during the strip — which is common on older Leeds properties — we photograph it, explain the extent, and give you a cost for repair before proceeding. Timber repairs are priced per metre or per rafter and added to the quote with your approval. We never proceed with hidden extra costs.
Yes. All waste from the old roof is loaded into a skip on-site and removed. Skip hire is included in every quote. We leave your property clean and tidy at the end of each working day and on completion.
All our re-roofs carry a 10-year written workmanship guarantee. Manufacturer material warranties — typically 20–40 years depending on the product — are passed on to you and are independent of our guarantee. Both are transferable if you sell the property.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Leeds roofer who turns up when they say they will.
