What lands on our scaffold
Project type · 01
Full re-roofs
When patching stops making sense, we strip it back to rafters and rebuild: breathable membrane, treated battens, new tiles or slate, dry ridge and verge systems. Most 3-bed semis take 4–6 working days, and you get a written guarantee at handover.

Storm & leak repairs
Water finds the weak point; we find the water. Thermal-pattern tracing, honest diagnosis, and repairs that address the cause — slipped courses, failed flashing, perished felt — not just the stain on your ceiling.

How we work
Five steps, no surprises
STEP 01
Call or message
Tell us what is happening — leak, damage, or a roof past its best. We will ask the right questions, not the salesy ones.
STEP 02
Survey & photos
We inspect the roof properly, photograph everything, and explain what we found in plain English.
STEP 03
Written quote
Itemised, fixed, and free. What is included, what is not, and how long it takes — before we touch a ladder.
STEP 04
The build
Fast, tidy, and communicative. Scaffolding where needed, dust sheets inside, swept site every evening.
STEP 05
Guarantee
Walk-around inspection with you, then the written guarantee. If something is not right, we come back.
We run a 24-hour call-out for roofing emergencies — storm damage, slipped tiles, water coming in. We will make it safe first, then quote the permanent fix.
