What types of roofs do you commonly work on?

Can you repair storm or weather damaged roofs?
Yes. We repair roofs damaged by wind, rain, and storms, including slipped tiles, leaks, damaged flashing, ridge issues, and other weather related roofing problems.
How quickly can you attend a roof repair?
We aim to respond as quickly as possible, especially for urgent roofing issues such as active leaks or storm damage. Availability depends on workload and weather conditions, but we always try to prioritise problems that could lead to further damage.
Do you offer free roofing quotes?
Yes. We provide free, no obligation quotes for roofing work. We assess the roof properly, explain the issue clearly, and provide straightforward pricing based on the work actually required.
Do I need a roof repair or a full re-roof?
That depends on the condition of the roof. In many cases, a repair is enough to solve the issue. If the roof is badly worn, leaking in multiple areas, or nearing the end of its life, a full re-roof may be the better long term option. We will always give honest advice on what is most suitable.
Do you work on both domestic and commercial properties?
Yes. We carry out roofing work for homeowners, landlords, and commercial properties, providing reliable service and clear communication on every job.
Do you work on flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?
Yes. We work on both flat and pitched roofs. This includes rubber roofing for flat roofs, along with repairs and replacements for tiled and slate pitched roofs.
What materials do you work with?
We work with a range of roofing materials including slate, tiles, rubber roofing systems, lead flashing, ridge materials, and suitable modern membranes and fixings.
Can you fix leaking roofs?
Yes. We regularly repair leaking roofs by identifying the true source of the problem, whether that is damaged tiles, failed flashing, chimney issues, ridge problems, or general wear and tear.
Do you repair chimneys and repoint brickwork?
Yes. We carry out chimney repairs, repointing, masonry maintenance, flashing repairs, and weatherproofing work to help keep chimneys safe, stable, and watertight.
Is rubber roofing a good option for flat roofs?
Yes. Rubber roofing is a durable and low maintenance solution for flat and low pitch roofs. It provides a strong waterproof finish and is a popular choice for garages, extensions, and outbuildings.
Do you install new tiled and slate roofs?
Yes. We install both tiled and slate roofs, along with carrying out repairs and replacements where needed. We focus on secure fixing, proper alignment, and long term weather resistance.
Will you explain the work before starting?
Yes. We believe in straightforward service. Before work begins, we explain the issue, outline the recommended solution, and provide a clear quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Are you fully insured?
If you would like confirmation of insurance or any other details before booking, contact us and we will be happy to discuss this with you directly.
