Services
Flat Roofing
Our flat roofing services utilise modern materials like EPDM rubber, fibreglass GRP, and traditional felt to create durable, waterproof solutions for domestic and commercial properties. We address common issues such as water pooling, flashing failures, and age-related wear while ensuring compliance with current building regulations. All installations include comprehensive guarantees and manufacturer warranties for long-term peace of mind.
Roof Slating
We install natural and artificial slate from quarries worldwide, offering longevity exceeding 100 years with proper maintenance. Our services include individual slate replacement, complete re-slating, and heritage restoration using traditional fixing methods. Materials meet European standards BS EN 12326-1/2, ensuring durability in Cornwall's coastal climate.
Roof Tiling
We supply and install clay and concrete tiles from leading manufacturers like Marley Eternit and Redland, offering both traditional and modern designs. Our services cover repairs, replacements, and new installations with dry ridge systems for improved weather resistance. We match tile profiles and colours to existing roofs for seamless results.
Re-Roofing
Our re-roofing services include building regulations compliance, UKATA-certified asbestos removal, structural assessments, and insulation upgrades. We handle complete roof replacements from survey to final certification, ensuring minimal disruption to property occupants. All projects include progress inspections and photographic documentation for quality assurance.
Lead Work
Traditional lead craftsmanship creates bespoke flashings, valleys, and decorative features using hand-forming techniques and autogenous welding. We install secret gutters, step flashings, and soakers to protect vulnerable roof junctions while accommodating building movement. Our lead work complies with heritage requirements for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Questions
How do I choose the right roofing contractor?
Look for proper licensing, insurance, local references, written estimates, building regulations compliance, and manufacturer warranties. Local contractors understand regional weather conditions better.
What should be included in a roofing estimate?
A comprehensive estimate details materials, labour costs, disposal fees, completion timeframes, warranty terms, and building control applications where required.
How long do different roofing materials last?
Natural slate lasts over 100 years, clay tiles 60-80 years, concrete tiles 30-50 years, EPDM 25-30 years, and fibreglass over 30 years with maintenance.
Do I need planning permission for roof work?
Most repairs don't require planning permission, but re-roofing needs building regulations approval. Listed buildings and conservation areas have additional restrictions we handle as LABC contractors.
When is the best time to replace my roof?
Spring and autumn offer optimal weather conditions, but emergency repairs shouldn't wait. We provide temporary protection during adverse weather and can work year-round.

Report
Wayne, Sam and the team made a cracking job of the roof on our new build which wasn't that simple a job, with 7 veluxes and 3 pitched dormers. Really easy to get on with and very accommodating as we had days and hrs we couldn't have work carrying on with the holiday cottage next door having guests. Would thoroughly recommend and good on price too.
