Pitched and flat roofing across Tyersal and the wider BD4. The survey costs nothing, the quote is itemised on paper, and the workmanship carries a ten-year written guarantee.
The last of Bradford before Pudsey begins, estate housing sat on the boundary with a late medieval hall still standing among it. Tyersal is barely out of the city centre, so surveys and small jobs there get slotted in around bigger work on the same side of Bradford. The same short list of faults keeps coming back on Tyersal roofs, and the useful part of a survey is knowing which of them is a morning's work and which means the covering has finally had its day.
Off, re-battened, breathable membrane, then a covering that suits the street. Stone slate, Welsh slate, clay or concrete.
What this covers →GRP, EPDM and torch-on felt over back extensions, dormers, mill outriggers and garages, laid to a fall that clears itself.
What this covers →Heavy gritstone slate on the old terraces, Welsh slate on the villas, tile on the estates. Matched, coursed and mechanically fixed.
What this covers →Soot-black gritstone stacks repointed in lime, rebuilt, re-flaunched, re-flashed. Take-downs below the slate line as well.
What this covers →Rotten boards stripped out, UPVC or timber in, eaves ventilation kept open, done while the gutter work is on the same scaffold.
What this covers →Storm damage and live leaks made safe across Bradford, the Aire valley and the Worth valley, callouts seven days a week.
What this covers →Tyersal is the last piece of Bradford before Pudsey begins, and the boundary actually runs through it - the eastern part is in Leeds. Most of the housing is post-war and later estate building off Tyersal Lane, Tyersal Road and Dick Lane, laid out on straightforward plans with hipped and gabled roofs. In among it, and easy to miss, is Tyersal Hall, a late medieval house listed at Grade II star. So the bulk of the work here is modern tile on predictable roof shapes, with the occasional heritage job that needs an entirely different approach.
Estate roofs of this age are on their first proper re-roof cycle. Concrete interlocking tiles lose their granular surface after fifty or sixty years, start taking up water, gain weight and crack when anyone walks on them. The mortar bedding under the ridges and along the verges cracks and lets go, and the bitumen felt underneath has gone hard and torn back over the wall head, which is why lofts get wet in driving rain while the tiles look fine from the pavement. Original timber fascias soften behind the gutter, and the gutter line drops out of level with them.
The good news on a roof like this is that it is a predictable job. Simple hips and gables, no awkward valleys, decent access at the side of most houses, and tiles that are either still obtainable or easy enough to match. A full strip, re-batten, breathable membrane, dry-fixed ridge and verge and new eaves ventilation turns a tired roof into one that will not need thinking about again for a very long time, and it is not an expensive shape to do. Where only part of the roof has failed we will say so rather than talk you into the lot.
We are a few minutes away on the Bradford side and we work both sides of the boundary here. The survey is free and includes the loft, because the felt and the batten ends tell the real story on these houses. Written quote, with a repair price and a re-cover price side by side where seeing both helps you decide. Re-roofs in matched tile, dry-fix ridge and verge systems, fascia, soffit and gutter replacement on the same scaffold, plus repairs and storm work. Insured, ten-year written workmanship guarantee on everything we fit. Give us a ring on 0113 460 1042 and we will get a date in the book.
Post-war housing in Tyersal is largely concrete tile gone porous, brittle felt at the eaves and fascia boards quietly rotting behind the gutter. Re-covers are normal at this age, and ours go on with breathable membrane, dry verges and ventilation that actually does something.
Newer houses in Tyersal get roof problems too, just different ones: dry-verge caps lifting, ridges that were never bedded properly, and snagging the builder walked away from. We put the details right and pick it up from where the warranty ran out.
The terraced rows in Tyersal share a good deal more than a wall. The stack usually straddles the party line, and on the older streets the gutter runs the length of several houses, which is why a fault three doors down turns up in your back bedroom. We would rather see the whole run than one roof in isolation.
Big period property in Tyersal, whether still one household or now cut into three flats, wants a proper scaffold and somebody comfortable on old slate. Like-for-like slating, stacks rebuilt where they have opened up, and the dormers and bay tops put right on the same visit.
The Tyersal addresses we end up at most often are around Tyersal Lane, Tyersal Road and the streets towards Dick Lane, plus everything tucked in behind them.
If the roof is doing any of that, book a free survey or ring 0113 460 1042. We will tell you what needs doing and, just as plainly, what does not.
Tyersal backs onto Farsley, roofers in Laisterdyke, Bradford Moor (BD3), roofers in Pudsey, Holme Wood (BD4) and roofers in Tong, and the price is for the work rather than the mileage anywhere in the Bradford district and Leeds.
