Services
Flat Roof Coverings
Our EPDM single-ply flat roof systems provide durable, weather-resistant solutions for commercial and residential properties. Using UV-resistant synthetic membranes with low-temperature flexibility, we create long-lasting installations that resist thermal shock and abrasion. Each system includes proper adhesive sealing at joints and meets current insulation standards, with options for green roofs or pitched conversions.
Heritage Roofing
Specialising in Grade I and II listed buildings, we restore traditional roofs using authentic materials like reclaimed Welsh slate and Burlington stone. Our NFRC-approved team follows strict heritage regulations while maintaining structural integrity. Services include natural slating, stone slating, and lead work renewal for churches, manor houses, and other protected structures.
Lead Work Renewal
We install and repair corrosion-resistant lead components including flashings, soakers, and abutments. Our craftsmen use traditional techniques to ensure watertight seals around roof penetrations while maintaining compliance with industry standards. Services cover both replacement and detailed restoration of existing lead elements on steep or low-pitched roofs.
Roof Windows
Professional fitting of energy-efficient Velux roof windows with U-values as low as 0.8 W/mK. We handle all roof types including tiled, slate, and concrete, offering burglary-resistant models with optional blackout blinds. Installations include proper waterproofing and integration with existing roof ventilation systems.
Roofline Maintenance
Comprehensive roofline services covering fascia, soffit, and bargeboard replacement. We install ventilation systems to prevent condensation while repairing or replacing damaged guttering. Our work ensures proper water drainage and structural support for roof tiles, extending the lifespan of your roofing system.
