Natural and fibre cement slate roofing, repairs and re-roofs. Traditional detailing for period and conservation-area properties. Serving Whitby and the surrounding area.
We'll call you back within one working day.
Whitby's older town, particularly around the harbour and up towards the Abbey, is dense with listed and conservation-area properties where slate and clay pantile are often specified rather than optional, and where access for scaffolding and skips needs planning around narrow streets. Further out, at Ruswarp and Sleights, roofs sit more inland and sheltered from direct sea wind but still deal with the same driving rain off the moors, so proper underlay and ventilation matter as much as the roof covering itself. Whichever part of Whitby you're in, we plan access and material choice around the property before quoting, not after.
0% finance is available on roofing work over £1,500, subject to status. We'll talk you through the options during your free inspection, no obligation either way.
From first call to finished roof, we keep the whole process clear and tidy.
We inspect the roof, by ladder or drone survey where access is difficult, check for underlying issues, and give you a fixed written quote with no obligation.
Where needed, scaffolding goes up and the site is protected, skips or waste routes agreed, and materials ordered to spec before work starts.
Repairs, re-roofing or new installation carried out to specification, with the site kept tidy and safe throughout, including magnetic sweeps for nails and debris.
We walk the finished roof with you, or share a photo report where access is restricted, confirm you're happy, and hand over your 10-year written guarantee.
Natural slate is the traditional choice, longer-lasting and usually required on listed or conservation-area properties, but costs considerably more. Fibre cement slate gives a similar appearance at a lower cost and is a practical option where matching isn't a planning requirement. We'll advise which applies to your property before quoting.
Every roof we complete is backed by a full 10-year guarantee in writing. If it fails through our workmanship, we put it right at no cost.
Salt air, driving rain and exposed winds off the North Sea punish a poorly fitted roof. We fix and fit to a spec that holds up to Scarborough's weather, not just the minimum building regs.
Public liability and all relevant trade insurance cover every job we take on, so you're protected from the first ladder going up to the final inspection.
The roofer who quotes your job is the roofer on your roof. No labour-only gangs, no middlemen, no surprises halfway through the job.
Covers our labour and installation. If it fails through how we built it, we fix it at no cost.
Materials are covered separately by the manufacturer's own warranty terms, we'll confirm the specifics for your chosen roofing system.
Public liability insurance covers every job we carry out, details available on request.
Storm damage sorted within two days of calling. Scaffolding up, tiles replaced, and they left the garden spotless. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Full re-roof on our bungalow. Tidy team, exactly the quote we were given, and the finish is spot on. Two winters in and not a single issue.
Called out for a leak, found and fixed the same week, explained everything clearly and didn't try to sell us a new roof we didn't need.
Usually not for a straightforward like-for-like re-roof. Listed buildings and some conservation areas do have extra requirements, particularly around slate type and detailing, and we'll flag this during your inspection if it applies to your property.
It's when the fixing nails holding slates in place corrode over time, usually on roofs over 60 to 80 years old, and slates start slipping even though the slate itself is still sound. The fix is re-fixing or re-roofing with new fixings, not just replacing the slates.
In most cases, yes. We source reclaimed and close-match slate for repairs and re-roofs on period properties, and can advise on options that satisfy conservation-area requirements where they apply.
We install slate roofing throughout Whitby and nearby, including Sandsend, Ruswarp, Sleights, Hawsker.
