Services
Slating
Our slating services cater to both new builds and restoration projects, using high-quality natural slate for durability and aesthetic appeal. We ensure precise installation to meet heritage standards for listed buildings. Clients benefit from our expertise in matching existing slate profiles for seamless repairs.
EPDM Flat Roofs
We install Rubberall EPDM systems, a 1.5mm cold-applied flat roofing solution offering superior waterproofing and longevity. Ideal for modern and traditional properties, this low-maintenance option provides a seamless finish. Our team ensures proper insulation and drainage integration for optimal performance.
Conservation Works
Specialising in historical buildings, we collaborate with architects to preserve architectural integrity while addressing structural needs. Our work on churches and listed properties adheres to strict conservation guidelines. Techniques include traditional leadwork and repointing to maintain original design elements.
Re-roofing
We provide full re-roofing solutions for aged or damaged roofs, using materials like tiles, cedar shingles, or composite panels. Our process includes removing old layers and reinforcing underlying structures for enhanced durability. Clients receive tailored advice on material choices to suit their propertys style and budget.

As leadwork specialists, we fabricate and install custom lead flashing, valleys, and gutters for watertight protection. Our craftsmanship ensures compatibility with both modern and historic roof designs. Regular maintenance services extend the lifespan of lead components in challenging weather conditions.
