Lewis and his team carried out repairs on our roof and we are really pleased with the work. Lewis was personally recommended to us after we had struggled to find someone reliable. He is trustworthy, courteous and professional, and the quote was detailed and accurate. The men were polite, friendly, arrived on time and cleared up after themselves.

The part of the house that protects everything else
Most of our roofing is part of a bigger job: a new roof on an extension, a barn or a new build. We also take on roof replacements, repairs and chimney work on their own.
We cut and pitch roofs, fit trusses, felt and batten, and lay natural slate, clay pantile and concrete tile. We build flat roofs in EPDM and lead roll, and dress leadwork around chimneys, dormers and valleys.
We do a lot of chimney work. We rebuild stacks from the roof line up, reset or replace pots, and repoint and flaunch them so they stay watertight.
What we do on roofs
Tap each type.
Natural slate
Welsh and Spanish natural slate, nailed or hooked. As found on many Victorian and later houses across North Yorkshire.
Clay pantile
The red clay pantile is the signature of North Yorkshire farm buildings and cottages. We reuse sound tiles and match new ones to them.
Flat roofs
EPDM rubber and lead roll flat roofs for extensions, dormers and garages, laid on a warm deck with falls to the outlets.
Lead roofs and leadwork
Lead roll roofs, flashings, soakers and valleys, dressed by hand to shed water where the roof meets walls and chimneys.
Chimney rebuilds
Stacks taken down to sound brickwork and rebuilt, with new flaunching, pots and lead flashings.

What our clients say
We were introduced to Barlow Construction through our architect. They proved themselves to be a professional, trustworthy and reliable building company. Nothing was too much trouble. Originally taken on to do a single storey extension, which they did to an extremely high standard, we then asked them to lay a full surround patio with ACO drainage and repair our chimney stack. They were very tidy, clearing and putting everything away at the end of each day. We would wholeheartedly recommend them.
Barlow Construction has helped me through a major renovation of an 1860s property, involving new suspended ceilings, new wall linings throughout, full damp proofing, new doors and lintels, a new central heating system, and new bathroom and kitchen installs. Lewis has been a pleasure to deal with throughout, and his advice and guidance have been invaluable. His onsite team show considerable depth of experience, with no dramas in dealing with the unexpected work that crops up in an old building. If only all firms were like this to deal with.
Lewis and the team did a fantastic job on our extension from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, they kept us updated at every stage, turned up when they said they would, and left the site clean and tidy each day. The finish is exactly what we wanted and the whole process was far less stressful than we expected.
We recently used Barlow Construction for a refurbishment project and were extremely pleased with the service and the quality of work. Lewis was great to deal with from the start. Professional, reliable and always on hand to offer advice on the best approach and industry best practice. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lewis and the team.
The guys from Barlow Construction did an excellent job. They arrived on time. I was working from home throughout the kitchen refurbishment so got to know them. Great bunch of lads, great work. No issue too big or small, they got it sorted. Well pleased with the finish.
We have worked with Lewis and his team across a number of properties and he is incredibly professional and pleasant to work with. Highly recommended.
