Recent work

A few roofs we're proud of.

Slate

Full slate re-roof, 1930s semi

Stripped to rafters and rebuilt in natural slate with new lead valleys and ridge; breathable membrane, new battens, chimney repointed while the scaffold was up.

EPDM

Flat roof renewal, rear extension

Leaking felt replaced with a single seamless EPDM rubber membrane — new trims and outlets, watertight and walkable for maintenance.

Storm

Storm make-safe, detached home

Wind-lifted ridge tiles secured the same day, then a full ridge re-bed and a check of every tile on the windward slope.

Lead

Valley & flashing renewal

Failed lead valleys and soakers — the source of a two-year mystery leak — renewed properly. Dry ever since.

FAQ

Straight answers.

How much does a roof repair cost?
Most small repairs — a handful of slipped tiles, a flashing fix — are a half-day's work and priced as one fixed job, not by the hour. We survey for free and put the number in writing before we start. Sample prices are indicative only; your written quote is the real figure.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes — if water is coming in or tiles have lifted in a storm, call us and we'll make the roof safe as quickly as we can, then schedule the permanent repair.
How long does a new roof take?
A typical three-bed semi takes about a week from scaffold-up to sign-off, weather allowing. Your written quote includes a realistic schedule.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes — shops, offices and industrial units as well as homes, with paperwork insurers accept.
