Coverage questions

Do you charge more to come out to the villages?
No. The survey is free wherever you are on the patch, and the work is priced the same whether the roof is in Acomb or Harrogate. The only difference further out is that it can take a little longer for us to reach you. The van is in Acomb every morning, so the closer villages usually get the quickest visit.
Which council handles planning where I am?
Four authorities cover the area we work in. City of York Council covers York, Acomb, Clifton, Huntington, Haxby, Strensall, Bishopthorpe and Copmanthorpe. North Yorkshire Council covers Tadcaster, Easingwold, Selby and Harrogate. Leeds City Council covers Wetherby, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council covers Pocklington and Stamford Bridge. We deal with the conservation team that actually covers your street, and we talk listed building consent through at the survey where it applies.
My town or village is not on the list. Do you still cover it?
Probably. The fifteen areas listed are the places we work in week in, week out, but they are not a hard boundary. If you are roughly within twenty miles of Acomb, send us your postcode on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly whether we can get to you and how soon.
How far will you travel for a job?
Most of the patch sits inside a twenty-minute drive of Acomb. The furthest places we cover regularly are Harrogate at around nineteen miles west and Pocklington at around fifteen miles east. For anything beyond that, ask. A larger reroof or conservation job is worth travelling for, a single slipped slate two counties away may not be.
Do you know the conservation areas in my village?
Yes. We work in conservation areas across the patch, from Acomb Green and the Bishopthorpe riverside to the Tadcaster centre, the Easingwold Market Place and the Harrogate villa belt. We roof in the materials each place is built from, including sand-cast lead, Yorkshire stone slate, pantile and hydraulic lime mortar where the street calls for it.
Are you actually local, or a national firm with a York number?
Local. EJL is family-run and based in Acomb, York, and has been roofing across the city and the villages since 2010. Elliott surveys the roof and the same team does the work. There is no call centre and no subcontracted crew turning up from out of county.

Wherever you are on the patch, one number
