About · est. 2009
Four people and two vans, 17 years in.
Ridgeline started in 2009 with Marcus, a borrowed van and the terraces of Hillsborough. We're still small on purpose, working out of a yard in Attercliffe on one roof at a time.
Who's on your scaffold.
Marcus Ellery
Founder · slater
Started on the tools at sixteen with his uncle’s firm in Stocksbridge. Surveys every job himself and still lays slate most weeks.
Danny Okafor
Lead roofer · flat roofs
EPDM and GRP specialist. If it’s flat and it’s dry, Danny built it. Eleven years with Ridgeline.
Steve Whitham
Leadwork & chimneys
Time-served leadworker, code 4 and 5, dressed by hand. The one the conservation officers ask for by name.
Jess Ellery
Office & scheduling
Answers the phone, books the scaffold, sends the quotes inside 48 hours and keeps all three of the above in line.

Fixed means fixed
The quote you sign is the invoice you get. If we find rot under the slates, we photograph it, price the extra in writing, and you decide before we touch it.
Small on purpose
Four people, two vans, one job at a time. Nothing gets handed to a subcontracted gang you have never met. The people who quote your roof are the ones who build it.
Built for the next owner
A roof should still be doing its job when somebody else owns the house. We fix to BS 5534, use materials rated for Pennine weather, and put the guarantee in writing.
