Every full installation is covered by a 10-year written workmanship guarantee. Every job carries £2,000,000 public liability. The phone answers 24/7.
Built around one honest promise.
Goliath Roofing was built on a simple observation about the UK roofing trade: too many contractors quote low, invoice high, and vanish when the guarantee is needed. Every part of how we work, fixed prices in writing, free standard inspections, a proper 10-year workmanship guarantee, £2,000,000 public liability, a phone that actually answers, is a deliberate response to that.
We are residential and commercial roofing specialists covering York, Thirsk and the wider North Yorkshire coverage area. We work on the full spread of roof types the region carries: Welsh slate and Yorkstone slate on period property, clay pantile on Victorian terraces, natural slate on civic buildings, concrete interlockers on newer estates, and every flat roof system from failed 1970s felt through to modern EPDM. We work on single-tile repairs, full re-roofs, chimney rebuilds, lead flashing, ridge systems, dormer conversions and commercial units.
The team is deliberately kept small, between two and five roofers on the tools depending on the job. That size matters: it keeps overheads low enough to give real fixed prices, and it means the person who quoted your job is normally the person who supervises the work. Not a call-centre. Not a sales rep. Roofers.
If it involves your roof, we cover it under one team, one point of contact, one fixed price and one written guarantee.
