Roofing Services
Full details of our roofing services — from natural slating to flat roofing systems, lead work, and emergency repairs.
Slating
Natural slate is one of the most durable and attractive roofing materials available. We install new slate roofs on domestic and commercial properties, and carry out full slate re-roofs where required.
All work is carried out to BS standards using quality materials sourced from reputable suppliers.
We advise on the appropriate slate type for your property — Welsh, Spanish, and Brazilian slate all have different properties and price points.
Correct fixings, lap, and gauge are critical for a watertight natural slate roof and our roofers have the experience to get this right every time.
- Natural slate new installations
- Full slate re-roofs
- Slate repairs and replacements
- New build and heritage properties
Tiling
We install all types of roof tile — concrete, clay, and interlocking — for domestic and commercial properties. Whether it's a new build or a full re-tile, we work accurately and efficiently to get the job done right.
Concrete and clay tiles require correct mortar work and fixings to ensure they remain secure and weathertight over the long term.
Interlocking tile systems offer a cost-effective and fast installation for appropriate roof pitches.
We advise on the most suitable tile product for your property and budget.
- Concrete and clay tile installation
- Interlocking tile systems
- Full re-tiling
- New build roofing packages
Re-Roofs
A full re-roof is a significant job and you need a team you can trust. We strip back to the deck, carry out any structural repairs needed, and re-roof to spec.
We advise honestly on what's needed and what isn't. We won't recommend a full re-roof if a targeted repair will do the job properly.
All re-roofs include inspection of the roof structure, replacement of felt and battens as required, and correct installation of the new covering.
We work with minimal disruption and keep the site clean throughout the job.
- Full strip and re-roof
- Structural deck inspection and repair
- Felt, battens, and new coverings
- Domestic and commercial re-roofing
Flat Roofing
We install three main flat roofing systems — torch-on felt, EPDM rubber membrane, and GRP fibreglass. Each has its place depending on the application and budget.
We'll advise on the right system for your project. GRP fibreglass is our most popular domestic system — it's seamless, durable, and typically carries a 25-year guarantee.
EPDM rubber is an excellent flat roofing system for larger areas and is highly resistant to UV and temperature variation.
Torch-on felt is a proven, cost-effective system for appropriate applications. All flat roofing work includes correct falls and drainage.
- Torch-on felt systems
- EPDM rubber roofing
- GRP fibreglass flat roofs
- Domestic extensions and commercial flat roofs
Lead Work
Lead work is a specialist skill and we carry it out to a high standard. From chimney flashings to valley gutters and bespoke lead features, we use quality lead and traditional methods.
Poorly installed lead work is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. Our roofers have extensive experience in all lead applications.
We cut, dress, and fix lead correctly — with correct steps, laps, and fixings to allow for thermal movement.
All lead work is carried out to the recommendations of the Lead Sheet Association.
- Chimney and ridge flashings
- Valley gutters
- Abutment and step flashings
- Bespoke lead features
Velux & Roof Lights
We supply and install Velux roof windows and flat roof lights, correctly flashed and weatherproofed. A Velux properly installed adds light and value — a badly installed one causes leaks.
We carry out the full installation including any structural work required to create the opening, correct tile or slate cutting, and installation of the correct Velux flashing kit for your roof type.
Flat roof lights are installed in conjunction with our flat roofing work, correctly integrated into the waterproofing system.
We install all standard and non-standard Velux configurations, including top-hung, centre-pivot, and fixed units.
- Velux window supply and installation
- Flat roof light installations
- Correct flashing and weatherproofing
- All sizes and configurations
Repairs & Emergency Work
Leaks don't wait for a convenient time. We respond quickly to emergency calls for leaks, storm damage, missing slates, and failed flashings.
We stabilise the problem, advise on the repair required, and get it sorted. Where a temporary fix is the most appropriate immediate solution, we'll be clear about what is temporary and what needs to follow.
For storm damage, we can provide reports and photographs to support insurance claims.
We also carry out routine maintenance inspections and planned repairs to keep your roof in good order.
- Emergency leak response
- Storm damage repairs
- Missing slate/tile replacement
- Failed flashing repairs
Guttering & Fascias
We install and replace UPVC guttering, fascias, and soffits alongside roofing work. Often the most cost-effective time to replace these is when the scaffolding is already up.
Failed or blocked guttering can cause significant water damage to walls and foundations. We advise on the correct gutter sizing and falls for your roof area.
All UPVC products are installed to manufacturer's recommendations with correct fixings and expansion joints.
We can also carry out gutter cleaning and maintenance as a standalone service.
- UPVC gutter installation and replacement
- Fascia and soffit replacement
- Downpipe installation
