Everything
a roof needs

The full trade, one firm
01 — New roofs

Built for decades

Complete strip-and-replace in concrete tile, clay tile or natural slate. New breathable membrane, treated battens, dry ridge and verge systems — engineered, not improvised.

02 — Repairs

Leaks, traced properly

Slipped tiles, cracked slates, failed flashing and storm damage. We diagnose from the roof itself and fix the cause, with photographs so you can see what was wrong.

03 — Tiling & slating

The visible craft

Plain and interlocking tiles, natural and fibre-cement slate, laid to specification. Straight courses, correct laps, fixings you will never have to think about.

04 — Flat roofing

Extensions & garages

EPDM rubber, torch-on felt and liquid-applied systems with sealed edges, proper falls and new trims. An end to the bucket in the utility room.

05 — Leadwork

Hand-dressed lead

Code 4 and 5 lead flashing, valleys, soakers and box gutters, bossed by hand. The detailing that decides whether a roof lasts fifteen years or fifty.

06 — Guttering & fascias

The roofline, finished

uPVC guttering, fascia and soffit replacement that stops overflow and protects rafter feet from rot — often the cheapest fix with the biggest visible difference.

07 — Chimneys

Where leaks begin

Repointing, flaunching and pot replacement. A remarkable share of "mystery leaks" start at the stack; we treat chimneys as part of the roof.

08 — Surveys

Know before you spend

Photographed condition reports for buyers, sellers and landlords — what is sound, what is tired, what can wait — in language a non-roofer can actually use.

A sample of
roofing work

There is no shortcut to a good roof: correct laps, proper fixings, straight courses, honest materials. It is repetitive, physical, exacting work — and it is the whole business.

We are fully insured, we use quality materials from established suppliers, and every job is guaranteed. Customer relations come first because a roof is bought once a generation; it had better be bought from people you trust.
