Services
Tiling
We provide comprehensive tiling services for new, restoration, and replacement projects. Using breathable membranes and pressure-treated battens, we install clay or concrete tiles with cement pointing for durability. Our extensive supplier network offers reclaimed and modern tiles to match any property style while ensuring weatherproof performance.
Felt Roofing
Specialising in traditional hot bitumen-bonded felt roofing, we deliver long-lasting waterproof solutions for domestic and commercial properties. Our method surpasses flame-gun alternatives, offering superior durability. We also install insulation layers to improve temperature regulation in garages and extensions, particularly beneficial for temperature-sensitive storage.
Re-Roofing
Our re-roofing process involves careful removal of existing materials while preserving reusable tiles where possible. We replace damaged rafters and integrate additional features like skylights during renovations. This comprehensive approach ensures structural integrity while maintaining aesthetic continuity with existing rooflines through expert tile matching.
Lead Work
We offer specialist lead welding services for valleys, gullies, and heritage projects. Our skilled team performs repairs and installations on church roofs and historic buildings, using micro-particle-infused paint for theft prevention. This service combines traditional craftsmanship with modern security measures to deliver durable, traceable leadwork solutions.
Commercial Roofing
With extensive experience in large-scale projects, we provide flat felt roofing solutions for commercial properties. Our team previously served Vauxhall Motors' Luton plant, handling thousands of square meters of industrial roofing. We combine traditional techniques with modern materials to ensure watertight, durable coverings for business premises of all sizes.
