Roofing in Copmanthorpe
One village, two very different kinds of roof
Copmanthorpe sits just outside the A1237, about 10 minutes from our base in Acomb. The village has two layers: a historic core along Main Street and Horseman Lane around St Giles' Church, which forms the Copmanthorpe Conservation Area, and the post-war and modern estates that grew up around it.
The older cottages and villas in the core are mostly clay pantile and Welsh slate, often laid on boards with no underlay, and roof changes there usually need a conservation conversation with City of York Council. The estate streets off Top Lane and Manor Heath are concrete tile, where the regular work is re-bedding, dry ridge upgrades and roofline replacement.

"Elliott and his team are great roofers. Work was done to a very high standard but also done in a very timely manner. We've had many people see his work and ask who the company was."

Before you book
Copmanthorpe roofing questions
How long does it take you to get to Copmanthorpe?
About 10 to 12 minutes from our base in Acomb via the A1237 outer ring road. We can usually be out the same week for a free survey, and emergencies get a callback within two hours, Monday to Saturday daytime.
My Copmanthorpe house is in the conservation area, does that affect roofing?
The Copmanthorpe Conservation Area covers the historic village core around St Giles' Church, Main Street and Horseman Lane. Inside it, changes to roof materials usually need approval from City of York Council, and we spec traditional pantile or slate to suit. Most of the estate housing off Top Lane and Manor Heath sits outside the conservation area and follows standard permitted development rules.
What kind of roofs do Copmanthorpe houses have?
A real mix. The older village core around Main Street is mostly clay pantile and Welsh slate, often laid on boards with no underlay. The post-war estates are largely concrete tile, and the more modern developments off Top Lane and Manor Heath use interlocking concrete tile in standard ranges. We work on all of them.
Is St Giles' Church relevant to local roofers?
St Giles' is a listed medieval church, and church roofing is specialist work we do not quote for. But the cottages and houses around the churchyard form the heart of the conservation area, so roof work nearby is expected to respect what is visible from the church. That usually means matching traditional materials.
Do you work on the newer estates as well as the old village?
Yes. The estates bring standard concrete tile work: re-bedding, ridge replacement, storm damage repairs and roofline upgrades. Same team, same free survey and the same 20-year written guarantee.
Do you cover the villages around Copmanthorpe too?
Yes. Askham Bryan, Askham Richard, Bilbrough, Healaugh, Colton and Appleton Roebuck are all within about 10 minutes of Copmanthorpe and we cover them from the same Acomb base.
