Services
Asphalt Roofing
Our asphalt roofing solutions combine durability with cost-effectiveness for both commercial and residential properties. Using premium-grade materials, we create watertight membranes that withstand extreme weather conditions while maintaining aesthetic appeal. With decades of experience in asphalt application techniques, we ensure seamless installations and repairs that extend roof longevity.
Single Ply Roofing
Specialising in modern single ply systems, we offer lightweight, flexible roofing membranes that provide excellent waterproofing for flat or low-pitch roofs. Our expert installers use industry-leading materials like EPDM and TPO, ensuring energy-efficient solutions that resist UV degradation and thermal expansion while maintaining structural integrity.
Built Up Roofing
For enhanced protection against water ingress, our built-up roofing systems utilise multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics to create a robust waterproof barrier. Ideal for commercial properties, these systems offer superior durability and can be modified with reflective coatings to improve energy efficiency in industrial settings.
Lead Roofing
Our traditional lead roofing services combine centuries-old craftsmanship with modern techniques for heritage buildings and conservation projects. We fabricate and install lead sheets to precise specifications, ensuring watertight performance while maintaining architectural authenticity through proper expansion allowances and joint detailing.
Roof Tiling
Offering both natural slate and high-performance alternatives, our roof tiling services provide timeless aesthetics with modern durability. Our experienced tilers ensure proper ventilation and secure installation using traditional methods, delivering weather-resistant roofs that enhance property value while maintaining traditional architectural character.
