Re-Roofing & New Roofs in Harrogate
When the covering is worn out across the whole roof, patching only buys time. A full re-roof gives you a sound, weathertight roof again.
Proline Roofers Harrogate carries out complete re-roofs and new roofs on houses, bungalows and extensions around Harrogate. The old covering is stripped, new underlay and battens go on, and the roof is re-covered in slate or tile with new ridge, hips, verges and lead. Call 01423 645059 for a survey and quote.

What happens on a re-roof
Survey and quote
We inspect the roof and loft, check access and talk through slate and tile choices.
Scaffold goes up
Safe edge protection and access before any stripping starts.
Strip and check timbers
The old covering comes off; any rotten timbers are shown to you before extra work is agreed.
Underlay, battens and covering
New membrane and battens, then the new slates or tiles course by course.
Ridge, hips, lead and clear-up
Details finished, waste removed, scaffold struck.
Hipped roofs, bungalows and new builds
The photos show a hipped brick house re-covered in red tiles with dry-fixed hips, a bungalow re-roofed in grey tiles with new dry verges and gutters, and new-build roofs finished with ridges and vents. Hips and verges are where a re-roof shows its quality, so they get as much care as the main slopes.

Re-roofing: your questions
How long will my re-roof take?
That depends on the roof's size and shape, the covering and the weather. Your quote includes an expected timescale so you can plan around it.
Can I switch from tiles to slate, or the other way round?
Often, but weight and minimum pitch both matter. Slate and tile need different batten gauges, and some tiles need a steeper roof. We'll tell you which options suit your roof.
Do I need planning permission to re-roof in Harrogate?
Usually not for like-for-like replacement on an unlisted house outside a conservation area. Parts of Harrogate are conservation areas, and listed buildings need consent for many changes, so check with North Yorkshire Council if you plan to change materials. Building regulations may also apply to re-roofing work.
Can old slates be reused?
Sound natural slates can often be salvaged and relaid, topped up with matching slates where needed. It depends on their condition once they're off.
What if you find rot under the old roof?
We'll show you what we've found and explain the fix before any additional work goes ahead.
