Thornton Watlass sits on the eastern slopes of the Ure Valley, just north of Masham and within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales. The village is built around a triangular green with a cricket pitch at its centre, surrounded by traditional stone houses and working farms.

Thornton Watlass is a compact conservation area covering approximately 6.4 hectares, with several listed buildings requiring sensitive maintenance. The village sits at around 117 metres elevation on the eastern slopes of the Ure Valley, exposed to weather coming off the Dales.
Older properties here are typically built from coursed rubblestone with graduated stone slate roofs. These materials need appropriate repair methods rather than modern substitutes to preserve both appearance and performance.
We travel from Harrogate to Thornton Watlass via the A61 and A1(M), a journey of around 19.6 miles that takes roughly 35 to 40 minutes. For larger projects we plan visits around the work schedule to keep disruption to a minimum.
For properties in the conservation area, we are mindful of the need for appropriate materials and methods. We discuss any relevant considerations before starting work so there are no surprises.
