FAQs
What does “fully-insured” mean for your Harrogate roofing team, and why is it important?
Being fully-insured means we carry both Public Liability and Employers’ Liability insurance that meet or exceed UK industry requirements. If an unlikely accident caused damage to your property or a neighbouring one, or if a member of the public or our crew were injured, the policy covers all associated costs. You are protected from legal or financial liability, and your roof replacement can proceed with complete peace of mind.
How do I know if my Harrogate property needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Common indicators include widespread broken or slipping tiles, persistent leaks despite previous fixes, sagging rafters, excessive moss that is causing water retention, and roofs that are 25–30 years old or more. We offer a free, no-obligation survey using drone imagery and moisture-meter readings. Our report will explain whether targeted repairs are still viable or if a full replacement is the most cost-effective long-term option.
What is the typical timescale for a roof replacement in Harrogate?
For an average three-bed semi-detached house, the full replacement generally takes 3–5 working days in good weather. Larger or more complex properties can take 7–10 days. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins and keep you updated if adverse Yorkshire weather causes delays. Scaffolding is usually erected the day before we start and removed within 48 hours of completion.
Which roofing materials do you offer and what are their advantages?
• Natural slate – Long lifespan (75–100+ years), classic appearance, ideal for Harrogate’s period homes. • Clay plain tiles – Durable, colourfast, excellent in high-wind areas. • Concrete interlocking tiles – Cost-effective, quick to install, wide range of colours. • GRP (fibreglass) flat roofing – Seamless, UV-resistant, 25-year guarantee. • EPDM rubber – Highly flexible, perfect for dormers and extensions. We discuss aesthetics, budget, roof pitch and local conservation requirements to help you choose the best option.
Will you handle planning permission and building regulations for my roof replacement?
Yes. Most like-for-like roof replacements in Harrogate fall under ‘permitted development’, but properties in conservation areas or those altering roof height/material can need planning consent. We liaise with Harrogate Borough Council, submit any necessary applications, and arrange building-control sign-off. You receive the Completion Certificate for your records, which is essential when selling your home.
What warranties and after-care do you provide on a new roof?
All installations come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee, plus manufacturer warranties of up to 40 years on many tiles and membranes. For extra security, we can register an insurance-backed guarantee that remains in force even if our company ceased trading. After completion we conduct a free 12-month inspection, provide maintenance tips, and are always on call should you need advice or minor adjustments.
