Services
Slating and Tiling
Our slating and tiling services combine traditional craftsmanship with modern materials to ensure durable, weatherproof roofs. We specialise in both heritage restorations and new installations, using high-quality natural slate and clay/concrete tiles. Each project receives tailored attention to match architectural requirements while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Flat Roofs
We provide long-lasting flat roof solutions using advanced waterproofing systems and insulation materials. Our expertise covers both domestic extensions and commercial buildings, ensuring proper drainage and energy efficiency. All installations meet current building regulations and come with comprehensive guarantees for client peace of mind.
Lead Work
Specialist lead work remains a core strength, including flashings, valleys, and ornamental details. Our craftsmen employ traditional welding techniques alongside modern fabrication methods to create watertight, durable solutions. This expertise has earned particular recognition from surveyors and property owners requiring heritage-compliant repairs.
GRP Roofs
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) roofing systems offer superior durability and low maintenance for flat or sloped roofs. We install seamless, weatherproof membranes that resist UV degradation and thermal movement. Ideal for modern extensions and commercial properties, these systems provide cost-effective, long-term protection with minimal upkeep requirements.
Fascias and Guttering
We supply and install high-performance fascias, soffits, and guttering systems that complement existing roof structures. Using durable uPVC and aluminium materials, our roofline solutions enhance property aesthetics while ensuring efficient water management to protect building integrity against weather damage.

Report
After 5 years, the roof leaks, I have asked Nigel to come and repair it, he said yes, and never did anything, and now he doesn't answer his email, telephone or any other way I have tried to contact him
