Slate re-roofs & repairs
A hundred-year-old terrace roof fails at the nails long before the slate gives up — slipped courses after every named storm. We re-fix or re-roof with slate that matches the street, felted and battened properly underneath.

Roofs we know
Not a generic services list — this is the city's roof stock as we find it from the top of the ladder. Slate roofing on the Victorian terraces, tile on the thirties semis, felt and rubber over the kitchen extensions, and the chimneys behind half the leaks in Leeds. If your house is under one of these, the same faults come round every winter — and we've put most of them right more than once.
A hundred-year-old terrace roof fails at the nails long before the slate gives up — slipped courses after every named storm. We re-fix or re-roof with slate that matches the street, felted and battened properly underneath.
Tiles on the pre-war semis go at the ridges and verges first, where the mortar has been drying out for decades. We re-bed, re-tile and swap the cracked runs before the felt underneath pays for it.
Leeds rain finds every tired felt seam over a kitchen extension or dormer. As your flat roof specialist we strip back to the deck and lay felt or EPDM rubber with proper falls, so water leaves instead of pooling.
Most "roof leaks" we're called to are chimney repair in disguise — blown pointing, cracked flaunching, tired lead. We rebuild, re-point and re-lead the stack so it stops letting the weather in.
A roof built from reviews
One slate below for every review Hartroyd Roofing has been left on Google. The average is carved up here; the weight is in the wall.
Every slate is one review — 96 of them, laid in staggered courses like the roofs they came from, one for every household that wrote something down afterwards. We haven't cherry-picked three for a carousel. The whole roof is the point: opinion, lapped and weathertight.
Run a hand along a course — each slate lifts to show its place in the tally.
How a straight quote works
The whole process, told straight — so you know what happens before you have to ask. It's the same four rungs for a slipped slate as for a full re-roof.
Use the form below — phone photos of the damp patch or the slipped slate are plenty to start with.
We get up to the roof itself. No pricing a job by squinting at it from the pavement.
An itemised written quote — what's wrong, what it costs, and no "while we're up there" surprises.
We do the work, clear up after ourselves, and photograph the finished roof so you can see it without borrowing a ladder.
Asking how much a new roof costs in Leeds? The only honest answer is written down after step two — which is why we won't guess it from the pavement, and neither should anyone else.
