Kirkstall Roofing started with one truck and one promise: do the job properly, stand behind the work, treat every property with the care it deserves. Thirty years on, we're still doing exactly that.
We started this business off the back of one truck and a ladder. Three decades on, we still treat every roof the same way — like it's our own.
— Founder, Kirkstall RoofingKirkstall Roofing began in the early 1990s. One man, one van, a ladder, and a determination to do roofing properly in a town where too many people were doing it badly. The first jobs were word-of-mouth — neighbours, then friends of neighbours, then customers from the surrounding streets.
Thirty years later, we're still based here in Kirkstall. We've got a bigger team, more vans, all the accreditations a modern roofer needs — but the way we work hasn't changed. We turn up when we say we will. We do the job properly. We stand behind it.
The proof is in the numbers: 1,200+ Leeds properties on our books, 4.9★ across 147 verified Google reviews, and the fact that most of our new work still comes from referrals.
Most roofing companies say the same things. Here's what we actually mean.
Roofs done badly are expensive twice — once for the original job, again when the real problem surfaces a year later. We take the time to identify the actual cause, specify the right repair, and execute to a standard that lasts. If that means a longer job or a different recommendation than you were hoping for, we'll tell you honestly.
Every quote we give is free, in writing, and no-obligation. We don't use scare tactics. We don't inflate to leave room for "discount" negotiation. We don't upsell repairs into re-roofs unless the roof genuinely needs replacing. The price you're quoted is the price you'll pay — and we'll explain exactly what's included and what isn't.
Every major job comes with a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties on top. We're NFRC-approved, CompetentRoofer-certified, TrustMark-endorsed, and Which? Trusted Trader registered — all the accreditations a professional roofer should hold, all current, all checkable.
We turn up clean. We leave clean. We protect your driveway, your garden and your house contents while we work. Daily site tidy. Final clean before sign-off. Photos of the finished work. A written guarantee in your hand before we leave. The way you'd want it done if it was your own home.
Sometimes the right answer is "your roof has another 10 years in it — let's just do this one repair." Sometimes the right answer is "actually a full re-roof is more economical than another five years of patching." We'll tell you what we genuinely think — and if that costs us a bigger job, so be it. Long-term reputation is worth more than any single project.
