KingCraft: roofing and cladding from Leeds across the North of England

KingCraft is a family roofing and cladding contractor based in Leeds and covering the whole of Yorkshire, Lancashire and Greater Manchester. The company presents itself as a third-generation family business and states that it has over 20 years of hands-on roofing experience. It works for both residential and commercial clients, from private homes to commercial facilities, public buildings and historic properties, and describes its approach as combining traditional craftsmanship with modern construction methods.

Traditional roofing, leadwork and flat roof systems

The traditional side of the business covers pitched roofing in slate, clay, concrete and ceramic tiles, together with lead flashings and abutment flashings. For flat roofs the company lists single-ply membranes, GRP (fibreglass) roofing, torch-on felt and liquid plastics, and it also handles roof flashings and leadwork within these systems.

Hard metals, cladding and façade works

KingCraft works with hard metals including zinc, copper, stainless steel, colour-coated steel and aluminium. This includes standing seam hard metal sheets and flashings, corrugated metal roofing sheets, composite panels, metal tile-effect sheets and rainscreen systems. On the cladding side it installs wall cladding, dormer cladding, roofline cladding and rainscreens in timber, uPVC, wood and hard metals, as well as parapet coping, parapet flashings and parapet wall cladding.

Roofline, windows and rainwater goods

The company fits uPVC and metal soffits, fascias and guttering (steel, zinc, copper and aluminium among the metals cited), and installs flat or pitched roof windows, skylights and light tunnels, naming Fakro and Velux among the rooflight products it handles.

Repairs and emergency work

Repairs form a distinct part of the offer: roof repairs, cladding repairs, flat roof repairs and gutter repairs, including felt repairs, damage caused by weather, leaks and emergency roof repairs. The company presents itself as a local roofer able to respond when needed.

Residential and commercial project profiles

KingCraft separates its portfolio into residential and commercial work. Residential projects are described around traditional roofing and cladding in slate, clay, concrete or ceramic tiles, together with dormers, soffits, guttering and flat or pitched roof windows and skylights. Commercial projects centre on hard metals such as zinc, copper, stainless steel, colour-coated steel and aluminium, various rainscreen systems and composite panels. Among the recent projects shown on the site are a concrete roofing tile installation in Preston, standing seam wall cladding in aluminium in Windermere and a Prefa Siding X system in aluminium in Sunderland.

Safety, materials and working approach
