Great to see the scaffolding down on one of our recent projects in Roundhay, Leeds.
Another fantastic job completed by the team with high praise from the customer about each team member.

Another great week down at the @leadsheettrainingacademy last week trying my hand at casting for the first time and making my first lead planter. Looking forward to putting this into practice more often and coming back down to the LSTA next year. #leadworker #leadwork #lead #casting #leadcasting #training #leadsheettrainingacademy
New lead work installed on this flat roof access door. The old door had pretty much rotted away so we built a new door before cladding it in Code 5 lead before installing new Code 5 lead to the cheeks, bay top and gutter back.

Great progress being made on this stunning office building in Huby in North Yorkshire using Grey’s Roofing Natural Stone Slates. #roofingcontractors #roofingcontractor #slateroofingcontractor #PitchedRoofing #slateroof #slateroofingcontractor #slating #roofer #roofing #heritageroofing #leadwork #leadwelding #leadworker
Great to see the scaffolding down on this gable end where we cladded the coping stones in lead to prevent water ingress through the joints where the coping stones met at the bottom of the curve.

Site visit this morning to one of our up coming projects to take collection of materials. This new build office block will be having Grey’s Natural Stone to cover the roof to match in with the existing property on the site. #roofingcontractor #roofingcontractors #PitchedRoofing #pitchedroofing #roofersofinstagram #slate #slating #slateroof #roofer #roofing #heritageroofing
Burlington slate roof completed 🔨
This roof was in a poor state with many damaged slates and incorrectly coursed out. We salvaged all the reusable slates and made up any loss with reclaimed to match the existing roof. The slates were re-coursed ensuring they diminished correctly. New insulation, membrane and battens were also installed along with new leadwork.
Excellent quality as always from the team and a fantastic job to get this one completed.

Recent strip and recover of this Yorkshire Stone Slate roof.
The original roof was put on in the 60’s and many of the oak pegs used had failed. We upgraded the insulation and used Roofshield air and vapour permeable membrane to cover the roof. We then counter battened and battened the roofing using treated 50mm X 25mm battens. The existing slates were reused and fixed using 50mm aluminium pegs. New Code 5 valleys along with Code 4 sacrificial flashings were installed and a new welded lead slate for the SVP. We also removed the existing cast iron gutters, had them shot blasted, primed and repainted to match the original colour. We then used reproduction stone ridges to seal the roof.

We recently completed two lead bays in York where the original lead had been installed in one piece causing several splits to each bay.
We redesigned each bay and installed Code 5 lead to each new section.

That’s us wrapped up for another year. We would like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and all the best for 2024. Thank you to everyone that continues to support us and we are looking forward to very busy and exciting new year ahead.
Here’s a few bits of what we got up to over the past year.
Ian and all the team @ YHR.
Box gutter transformation. Old gutter redesigned and Code 6 lead with expansion joints installed. #roofing #roofer #roofingcontractor #roofingcontractors #heritageroofing #heritage #traditionalbuildings #listedbuildings #restoration #slate #slateroof #PitchedRoofing #leadwork #leadwelding #leadworker #roofersofinstagram #theartofroofing
Here’s our last roof to finish off the year. The original roof had been poorly maintained over the years with a central box gutter that was leaking in several places.
We salvaged 50% of the Yorkshire Stone Slates and reused them on the external elevations and used new weathered Indian Stone for the internal elevations. We also redesigned the box gutter to eliminate the internal outlets that had previously failed and caused the gutter to leak.
The guys worked hard to make sure we had the roof finished in time for the Christmas break and produced another top quality job as always!

It’s been a very productive first few days in the new office.
It’s taken a while but it’s now the right time to take a small step back from the tools and focus more on the office side of the business all the while knowing that I’ve got the right teams on site making sure the same quality of work gets delivered to our customers!
We recently removed this dormer skylight at Thorp Perrow Arboretum in Bedale.
The skylight had failed and was not serving any purpose so it was dismantled and a new roof structure installed in its place.
Reclaimed Green Westmorland slates we’re used to match the existing roof covering and cover the opening along with code 6 Lead for the ridge detail.

This week we started repair and maintenance to the Yorkshire Stone Slate roof on this stunning property in Adel, Leeds.
The roof has been stripped and recovered in its lifetime however, poor workmanship and incorrect fixing methods of the slates has resulted in numerous slates failing over the years as well as failing roof battens.
We are also replacing the fascia boards ready for decorators to paint once we have completed all necessary works.

Yorkshire Stone Slate re-roof completed in Chapel Allerton, Leeds.
This roof was probably the worst condition stone roof that we have come across. The original roof had many poor repairs carried out on it over the years which meant we only reclaimed around 25% of the existing slates and around 8 tonne of reclaimed stone was required to complete the roof.

Another Yorkshire Stone Slate roof we recently carried out. This time we were in Beckwithshaw near Harrogate. The roof had quite bad undulation and so structural work was carried out to take away the severity of the sag in one side of the roof. We then installed new insulation, Roofshield underlay and treated battens. We then used the original slates to cover the roof back and upgraded the existing Velux window.

TRANSFORMATION 🤩
Stunning before and after shots showing the incredible difference we made to our Cupa Pizarras job from last year.

We recently carried out this Yorkshire Stone re-roof that had already been done in February this year!
Due to leaks and the poor quality of workmanship the building inspector refused to sign off the work completed by the previous contractor who has apparently been roofing 30 years.
We were asked to survey the work and found so many issues that the only suitable course of action was to start again.
Now the roof is watertight and had been signed off through the #NFRC Competent Person Scheme giving the customer peace of mind.

Here they are! The stunning final drone shots from last years project. This project was one of our biggest and one we are very proud of. Extremely happy with the finished outcome as we’re all the residents of the property.
It was made even more enjoyable using the excellent Cupa Pizarras R12 Spanish Slate. It also included new VELUX roof windows, new Sika Trocal Single Ply flat roofs, upgraded insulation throughout, Hydraulic Lime Mortar pointing and flaunching to all chimney stacks, new Leadwork throughout and Galax CR2 Clay Capped Angled Ridges to finish the roof.
Look out for footage of the before and after drone shots to see just how much of transformation this stunning property had!

We recently completed this challenging roof which had been left sheeted over for nearly 3 years. An attempt to correct the roof structure by a joiner was poorly done with many of the rafters not fixed to the purlins and the frames for the Velux windows not running in line with each other.
We successfully made the structure sound and corrected the window frames and in the end put a full new roof structure on the roof in place of the old.
We installed 24 UK10 VELUX windows, Roofshield underlay and treated battens. We used Cupa Pizarras R18 Spanish Slates to cover the roof and GRC Fleur-de-lys Ridge tiles to seal the roof as well as all new Leadwork to the abutment walls.
The team worked extremely hard on what wasn’t a straightforward job and managed to produce a fantastic end result!

Excellent work as always from the team to transform what once was a roof in need of a lot of attention to this amazing example of quality and craftsmanship!
