Local coverage
Why North Yorkshire isfamiliar ground for us
North Yorkshire runs north from our Thorne, Doncaster base along the A19, A1(M) and M62. Selby and the southern part of the county are the closest and busiest for us, with the wider county reached on the same routes.
Where we work in North Yorkshire
We cover North Yorkshire with a natural concentration in the south of the county. Selby and the surrounding villages, and reach further north on the A1(M) and A19. It is a large, largely rural county, so the sensible thing is to give us the postcode and let us tell you straight whether it is in comfortable range.
Getting to North Yorkshire
The phone is answered by the owner 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Southern North Yorkshire is typically within 45 minutes of Thorne; further north takes longer and we will tell you honestly what a realistic attendance looks like rather than book you in and disappear.
Property types in North Yorkshire
North Yorkshire's stock leans towards clay pantile roofs on brick village housing, stone-built cottages and farm buildings, Georgian and Victorian property in market towns, bungalows and dormer bungalows in the villages, and modern estate housing around the larger settlements. There are also a lot of outbuildings, garages, barns and single-storey extensions: the sort of low-pitch and flat structures where EPDM outperforms felt by a wide margin.
What North Yorkshire calls us for
The common calls are slipped and cracked pantiles, ridge and verge failures on exposed rural roofs, valley and flashing leaks on cottages that have had generations of patch repairs, chimney stacks that have not been pointed in decades, and flat roofs over extensions, garages and outbuildings that need stripping and re-covering rather than another coat of liquid.

Why people in North Yorkshireuse us twice
A named person, not a franchise
Jamie owns the business, answers the phone and works on the roof. In rural areas where you rely on word of mouth, that traceability matters more than a glossy brochure.
The right detailing for older property
Pantiles, stone and old lead work need lead soakers, correct laps and mechanical fixings, not mortar smeared into a gap. We form lead on site to the correct code rather than substituting mastic.
Guaranteed, insured, documented
15-year workmanship guarantee on full re-roofs, 20-year manufacturer guarantee on Resitrix EPDM, £2m public liability and £10m employers' liability insurance, and photographic evidence of the finished work.
Staged payment on larger jobs
Deposit, stage payment, balance on completion. The last payment is only taken once you are satisfied, which is the point of doing it in stages.
Local roof problems
What actually goes wrongon North Yorkshire roofs
Clay pantiles and single-lap coverings
Pantiles are a single-lap covering, so there is far less redundancy than on a double-lap slate roof: one cracked or lifted tile can put water straight onto the underlay or the timbers. Frost damage, nibs snapping off with age, and mortar-bedded verges breaking down are the usual causes. Replacements need to match profile and gauge, or the whole run sits proud and lifts in the next gale.
Exposed rural sites and open-field wind
Village and farm property often stands with nothing upwind of it for a mile. Wind uplift attacks verges, ridges and eaves courses first, and rain is driven under laps that would be fine on a sheltered street. On exposed sites we specify mechanical fixing and dry-fix systems rather than relying on bedding mortar that has to survive both frost and uplift.
Old buildings with layered repairs
Cottages and older market-town property have typically been repaired by many different hands. You find felt strips over lead valleys, mortar in place of flashings, and new tiles interleaved with worn originals. Each layer hides the one under it, which is why a proper assessment, or a paid survey where the history is unclear, beats guessing from a ladder.
Outbuildings, garages and low-pitch roofs
Rural properties carry more square metres of flat and low-pitch roof than urban ones: garages, workshops, stables, link extensions. Felt on these fails from UV and standing water, and once the deck gets wet it rots quietly. Resitrix EPDM over a sound or renewed deck removes the recurring cost and carries a 20-year manufacturer guarantee.
Our process
The same five steps,every job in North Yorkshire
- 01
Call or message Jamie
The phone is answered by Jamie, the owner, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You describe what you can see: a stain on a ceiling, tiles in the garden, a gutter overflowing, and we work out whether it needs a same-week look or an emergency make-safe.
- 02
Free on-site assessment
We come out and get eyes on the actual roof rather than quoting from a photo. Assessments for potential work are free. If you want a full written condition report instead, for a purchase, a dispute or a damp investigation, that is our paid roof survey, priced on enquiry.
- 03
A detailed written quote
You get an itemised quote setting out the materials, the scope and the price. No 'from' pricing, no day-rate creep, no verbal estimate that changes once the scaffold is up. If we find something hidden once the roof is stripped, you are told before any extra work happens.
- 04
The work, done by the people who quoted it
Jamie is on site. Access is set up properly, the site is kept tidy, and we work to the scope you signed off. Larger jobs are paid in three stages: a deposit for materials, a stage payment during the work, and the balance at the end.
- 05
Sign-off and guarantee
We walk the finished work with you and the final payment is only taken once you are happy. Full re-roofs carry a 15-year workmanship guarantee; Resitrix EPDM flat roofs carry a 20-year manufacturer guarantee.

North Yorkshireroofing FAQs

Do you serve North Yorkshire?+
Yes, with a natural focus on the south of the county around Selby and the surrounding villages, reaching further north on the A1(M) and A19. Ring 07947 493640 with your postcode and we will tell you straight.
How quickly can you get to North Yorkshire?+
The south of the county is usually within 45 minutes of our Thorne base. Calls are taken 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and urgent leaks are prioritised for a make-safe visit.
What will roof work cost in North Yorkshire?+
Nobody can price a roof honestly without seeing it. The assessment is free and the quote is itemised, covering materials and scope, so you know what you are buying before anyone starts.
Do you handle emergencies in North Yorkshire?+
Yes. We are contactable 24/7. Storm damage is sheeted and made safe first, and the permanent repair is quoted after the property is protected.
Can you match old pantiles?+
Matching profile and gauge is part of the job on a pantile roof: the wrong replacement sits proud and lifts. Where a match is not available, we will tell you at assessment stage rather than after the work has started.
Do you work on barns, garages and outbuildings?+
Yes. Pitched and flat work on outbuildings is common for us, and Resitrix EPDM is usually the right answer for a low-pitch or flat deck.
What guarantees apply?+
Full re-roofs carry a 15-year workmanship guarantee. Resitrix EPDM flat roofs carry a 20-year manufacturer guarantee and are installed by an accredited installer.
Are you insured for rural and farm work?+
Roofserve Ltd holds £2,000,000 public liability and £10,000,000 employers' liability insurance.
Can I get a written report rather than a quote?+
Yes, that is our roof survey. It is a paid service, priced on enquiry, and gives you a detailed report on roof condition and any damp issues.
