Emergency and storm repairs
Leaking now? We'll make it safe.
Storms lift tiles, bring down ridges and blow chimney pots into gardens. We make the roof safe and watertight first, then come back and repair it properly.
If water is coming in, call us rather than filling in a form. We will ask a few questions, tell you what to do in the meantime, and get someone out as quickly as we safely can. Working on a roof in high wind is dangerous, so sometimes the safest first step is a temporary cover once the wind drops.
We take dated photos of the damage before and after, and give you a written report. Most home insurers ask for exactly that when you make a storm claim.

Other roofing work we do
Roof repairs
Most leaks come down to one small failure: a slipped tile, a cracked ridge, a gap in the flashing.
Typically £180 to £950
New roofs and re-roofing
When repairs stop being worth it, we strip the roof back to the rafters and rebuild it with modern breathable membrane, treated battens and your choice of tile or slate..
Typically £6,500 to £19,500
Flat roofs
Most flat roofs fail at the edges and joints, not in the middle.
Typically £1,200 to £6,500
Chimney repairs and repointing
A chimney takes more weather than any other part of the house.
Typically £400 to £2,400
