Services
Re-Roofing
Re-roofing addresses roofs at the end of their lifespan, using premium materials like slate, tile, or stone. We install Grade A tanalised battens, breathable felt, and support trays to ensure durability. This service prevents leaks and condensation, offering long-term structural protection for residential and commercial properties.
Lead Work
Lead work involves installing or repairing lead structures for chimney gutterbacks and joints. We apply patination oil to new leadwork, reducing staining and enhancing appearance. Our team ensures correct lead thickness for each application, providing durable, weatherproof solutions for complex roof contours.
Velux Windows
Velux window installations add natural light and aesthetic appeal. We fit top hung, centre pivot, and conservation-style windows with appropriate flashing kits. This service includes replacements and installations for flat or pitched roofs, enhancing property functionality and energy efficiency.
Chimney Stacks
Chimney stack services include re-flaunching, repointing, and leadwork replacement. We ensure proper cowl installation for active chimneys and safely remove unused stacks. This prevents damp ingress, maintaining structural integrity and compliance with safety standards for residential properties.
Repairs and Maintenance
Regular repairs and maintenance prolong roof lifespan. We address damaged plastics, timber, and flashing, using UPVC for low-maintenance solutions. Prompt issue resolution minimises costs and prevents extensive damage, ensuring year-round protection against weather-related wear and tear.
