Follifoot sits just a few miles south-east of Harrogate on elevated rolling parkland, its historic gritstone core framed by the Rudding Park gates and the ancient Saxon cross at the crossroads. From the older stone cottages and barns along Main Street to later homes that still incorporate local stone, the village’s building stock needs a contractor who understands traditional Yorkshire construction as well as everyday modern maintenance. Harrogate Maintenance Company, established in 1997 and still owned and run by Kevin, provides reliable property maintenance, repairs and building work throughout Follifoot and the surrounding countryside.

Follifoot stands on elevated rolling parkland roughly 180–200 metres above sea level, giving open views across the Vale of York and exposure to prevailing weather. Most older houses and barns are built of local Yorkshire gritstone with steep gables and stone-slate or pantile roofs; the village is a conservation area containing multiple listed buildings, including the Saxon cross and the Rudding Park gates. Horse Pond Beck crosses the main street and the Lolburn runs underground, so properties near these watercourses benefit from careful attention to drainage and damp prevention even though overall flood risk is low. Elevated stone buildings can suffer from weather-driven damp and need well-maintained gutters, pointing and roof coverings – work we carry out regularly in the village.
Straightforward, respectful and reliable from first contact to finished job.

We leave the site clean and explain what was done.
Yes. Follifoot is well within our regular service area – only a short drive from Harrogate. We also work in nearby Spofforth, Plompton and across the wider Harrogate district.
We regularly maintain and repair traditional Yorkshire stone houses, barns and period features. Where listed or conservation constraints apply we use appropriate materials and methods and can advise on what is typically required.
The beck and the underground Lolburn mean drainage and ground levels need attention on some plots. We inspect for rising or penetrating damp and can recommend practical remedies as part of a maintenance visit.
For straightforward jobs we often quote within a day or two of receiving details or photos. More complex work usually needs a short site visit, which we arrange promptly around your availability.
Monday to Friday 08:00–17:00 and Saturday 08:00–15:00. Sundays we are closed. Emergency call-outs can be discussed by phone.
