Services
Roofing Repairs
We provide comprehensive roofing repairs for slates, tiles, and flat roofs. Our team addresses leaks, damaged ridge tiles, and structural issues using traditional lime mortar techniques for heritage properties. Emergency call-outs ensure rapid resolution of urgent problems, minimising property damage.
Chimney Repointing
Specialist chimney repointing restores stability and weatherproofing. We replace eroded mortar, fit cowls to prevent water ingress, and rebuild flues for wood burners. Our work complies with conservation standards for listed buildings and historic structures.
Gutter Cleaning
Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance prevent water damage. We clear debris, repair leaks, and install new guttering systems to ensure efficient drainage. This service extends roof lifespan and protects property foundations from water erosion.
GRP Fibreglass Roofs
Durable GRP fibreglass flat roofs offer long-lasting waterproofing solutions. Ideal for extensions and lean-tos, these systems resist weathering and require minimal maintenance. We install seamless finishes that meet building regulations and aesthetic requirements.
Leadwork
Precision leadwork includes valleys, flashings, and aprons to seal roof junctions. Our craftsmen use traditional techniques to ensure watertight seals while preserving architectural integrity for both modern and historic properties.
