New roofs and re-roofing
A new roof, built to last decades.
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.
A re-roof is the biggest job most homes ever need, and the one where cutting corners shows up later. The difference between a good and bad re-roof is mostly hidden: the membrane, the batten gauge, the fixings, the ventilation and the detail at the edges. We do all of it to current British Standards and photograph each stage so you can see what is under the tiles.
Re-roofing counts as building work, so we notify building control and you get a completion certificate at the end. You will need that certificate when you sell the house.

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
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
Fascias, soffits and guttering
Fascias hold your gutters and the bottom row of tiles.
Typically £500 to £5,200
