Our home turf
These are our own streets
Plenty of trades say they are local. In Acomb, ours is the van you already see on the street.
Acomb is a mix of roofing stock and we look at it every day. Edwardian bay-fronted semis on Beckfield Lane, Hamilton Drive and York Road, where the lead tops over the bays are usually the first thing to fail. Cottages around Acomb Green, some of them listed, where slate and traditional leadwork matter. The post-war Foxwood estate and the streets around Hob Moor in concrete interlocking tile, where 1960s ridge mortar is well past its best. And the Victorian terraces running towards Holgate on the city side.
Being based here changes how fast we can help. There is no travel time to price in, an active leak can often be seen the same day, and a free survey is usually booked within the working week. The Acomb Green Conservation Area, designated in 1969, covers the green, the church and parts of Front Street, and we check whether you are inside it as part of the survey.

"Got 3 quotes in total — EJL were by far the most competitive and had been recommended by someone I trusted. Communication was excellent throughout and the finish on the roof is faultless."

Before you book
Acomb roofing questions
Are you actually based in Acomb?
Yes. EJL Roofing Residential Ltd is registered at 53 Queenswood Grove, Acomb, York YO24 4PN. The van starts every working day from an Acomb drive, which makes us about as local as a roofer can get for jobs in YO24 and YO26.
How quickly can you get to me in Acomb?
Most of Acomb is a few minutes from Queenswood Grove. Every call gets a callback within two hours, Monday to Saturday daytime, and an active leak in Acomb can often be looked at the same day. Free surveys are usually booked within the working week.
Is my Acomb house in a conservation area?
Possibly. The Acomb Green Conservation Area, designated in 1969, covers the green itself, the church and the older cottages, plus parts of Front Street and Westfield Place. Inside that boundary, changing roof materials can need conservation officer approval. We check whether you are inside it as part of the free survey.
What kind of roofs do most Acomb houses have?
Acomb is a real mix. Edwardian and early 1900s semis on Beckfield Lane, Hamilton Drive and York Road, usually in clay or concrete tile with lead tops over the bay windows. Older cottages around Acomb Green in slate. Concrete interlocking tile on the post-war Foxwood estate and the streets around Hob Moor, and modern tile on the newer infill near Acomb Wood. Each pocket tends to fail in its own predictable way, which makes surveys here quick.
Do you do listed building and conservation work in Acomb?
Yes. The listed cottages around Acomb Green and on Front Street usually need like-for-like materials, natural slate or clay pantile with traditional leadwork at the chimneys. We price for that properly in the written quote and allow for any conservation conditions before work starts.
Do you cover the Foxwood estate and the streets around Hob Moor?
Yes. The 1960s to 1990s semis and bungalows on the Foxwood estate, Acomb Wood Drive, Tedder Road and around Hob Moor are everyday work for a roofer based this side of York. Concrete tile repairs, ridge re-bedding, dry-fix upgrades, gutters and roofline work, all with the same free survey and written quote.
