Traditional clay and concrete tiles remain the most popular choice for Leeds homes. We install all tile types including plain tiles, interlocking tiles, and pantiles. Available in multiple colours and styles to match your property's character, tile roofs offer excellent durability and weather resistance, typically lasting 50-60 years with minimal maintenance.
For period properties and homeowners seeking premium aesthetics, natural slate provides unmatched elegance and longevity. We install both Welsh slate and Spanish slate systems, with lifespans exceeding 100 years when properly installed. Slate roofs add significant value to your property and suit conservation areas where planning requires traditional materials.
Modern flat roofing has evolved significantly. We install high-performance EPDM rubber membranes, fibreglass GRP systems, and three-layer felt systems. Perfect for extensions, garages, and contemporary designs, our flat roofs include proper drainage, insulation, and warranties of up to 20 years depending on the system chosen.
If you love the slate aesthetic but need a lighter, more cost-effective solution, we install composite slate tiles and slate-effect products. These modern materials replicate traditional slate's appearance while offering easier installation, lower weight loading, and reduced costs – ideal for certain roof structures.
We install sustainable roofing solutions including solar-ready systems, enhanced insulation packages, and breathable membrane technologies. Our eco-friendly installations reduce energy bills, lower your carbon footprint, and can incorporate solar panel integration for future renewable energy generation.

Replacing your roof is a significant project, and choosing the right roofing company makes all the difference. At JLR Smith Roofing, we've built our reputation on delivering high-quality roof installations across Leeds and West Yorkshire. We understand that a new roof needs to do more than look good – it must protect your home, improve energy efficiency, and last for decades.
Every project begins with a thorough site survey. We'll visit your property to assess the existing roof structure, discuss your requirements, and understand your budget. Whether you're replacing a tired roof that's reached the end of its life, upgrading to improve your home's appearance, or need a complete roof for an extension, we'll recommend the best solution for your specific situation.
You'll receive a detailed written quotation covering all aspects of the work – materials, labour, scaffolding, waste removal, and timescales. We believe in complete transparency, so you'll know exactly what you're paying for with no surprise costs later.
Once you're happy to proceed, we'll schedule the work at a time that suits you. Most domestic roof replacements take between 5-10 days depending on size and complexity, though we'll give you an accurate timeframe based on your property. We arrange all necessary scaffolding, order materials to arrive on time, and coordinate our experienced team to ensure smooth, efficient installation.
We work exclusively with quality materials from trusted UK suppliers. Whether you're choosing traditional clay tiles, natural slate, or modern EPDM membrane, you'll benefit from products designed for British weather conditions and backed by manufacturer warranties.
Our installation team includes experienced roofers who've completed hundreds of projects across Leeds. We're RESTEC-approved installers, meaning we work to recognised industry standards and carry full insurance. Every aspect of installation – from structural timbers and insulation to final tiles and ridge details – is completed to specification.
New roof installations must comply with current building regulations, particularly around insulation, ventilation, and structural loading. We understand these requirements and ensure your roof meets all necessary standards. For listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, we can advise on planning requirements and work with appropriate materials.
A professionally installed roof does more than keep the rain out. Modern insulation significantly reduces heat loss, lowering your energy bills. Proper ventilation prevents condensation and protects timber from rot. Quality materials and expert installation mean minimal maintenance and decades of reliable performance.
We stand behind our work with comprehensive guarantees covering both materials and workmanship. Your new roof represents a substantial investment in your property, and we ensure that investment delivers value for years to come.

Everything you need to know about new roof installation
New roof costs vary significantly based on roof size, pitch, materials chosen, and structural work required. As a rough guide, a typical terraced house roof replacement starts from £5,000-£8,000 for concrete tiles, £8,000-£12,000 for natural slate, and £3,000-£6,000 for flat roof systems. Larger detached properties can range from £10,000-£20,000+. We provide detailed, itemised quotes after surveying your property, ensuring you understand exactly what's included.
Most domestic roof installations take 5-10 working days, though this depends on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. A simple terraced house might be completed in 5-7 days, while a larger detached property with complex details could take 10-14 days. We'll give you an accurate timeframe when we quote. We work efficiently but never rush – quality installation takes proper time and attention.
No, you can remain in your home during installation. We'll protect your property's interior and work section by section to maintain weather protection. There will be noise during working hours, and we'll need access to loft spaces and external walls. Most homeowners continue their normal routines, though we recommend planning for some disruption during the work period.
This depends on your property type, budget, and preferences. Traditional terraced and semi-detached homes suit tile or slate pitched roofs. Extensions and flat-roof areas work well with EPDM or fibreglass systems. Listed buildings may require natural slate or specific tiles. We'll assess your property during the survey and recommend options that balance performance, aesthetics, planning requirements, and budget.
Most like-for-like roof replacements don't require planning permission, though you must comply with building regulations. Changes to roof height, design, or materials on listed buildings or properties in conservation areas typically need planning consent. We advise on requirements during your survey and can recommend planning consultants if needed.
Lifespan varies by material: natural slate can last 80-100+ years, clay tiles 60-70 years, concrete tiles 50-60 years, and modern flat roof systems 20-30 years. These figures assume professional installation and basic maintenance. We use quality materials and proven installation techniques to ensure your roof achieves its full lifespan potential.
We provide comprehensive guarantees covering both materials and workmanship. Material warranties vary by product (typically 10-50 years depending on the roofing system), while our workmanship guarantee covers installation quality for a minimum of 10 years. We're RESTEC-approved and fully insured, giving you complete protection and peace of mind.
Yes. We can design your new roof to accommodate solar panels, either installing them immediately or preparing the structure for future installation. This includes ensuring proper batten spacing, appropriate tile selection, and structural capacity. We work with solar installers to coordinate projects, or can prepare your roof as "solar-ready" for later panel installation.
Your roof protects everything you value – your family, your possessions, and your home itself. When it's time for a replacement, you need experienced professionals who'll deliver quality that lasts.
