Stage 02
Stripping the old roof
The tired, mossy slates come off course by course, down to the rafters. Every broken slate and rotten batten goes down the chute straight into the skip, so the yard stays clear.
How we strip and re-roof●
What we do
Five things we get called out for most
Every job starts with someone going up and looking properly. You get photos of what we find and a price that does not move once the work starts.
Not sure which of these it is? Send a photo of the roof to WhatsApp and we will tell you.
01
Roof repair
Slipped slates, cracked tiles, broken ridge, storm damage and failed valleys. Small jobs welcome, and we say so if a repair is not worth your money.

02
Eliminating the leak
Water rarely comes in where the stain is. We trace it from the attic side, wet test the roof and fix the cause, usually flashing, valleys or a roof window.

03
Roof reconstruction
Old covering stripped, timbers checked and replaced where they are soft, then re-slated or re-tiled with new lead and new fixings.
See the detail →
04
New roof
Design and build for extensions, new houses and dormers. Rafters, breather membrane, battens, slate or tile, lead work and gutters finished together.
See the detail →
05
Roof painting
Moss off, roof washed down, ridges repointed, then two coats of breathable roof coating. Tired concrete tiles look sound again without a full re-cover.

Stage 03
Membrane, battens and the flat roof
A breathable membrane is rolled out along the roof, course by course from the gutter up, then new treated battens go on. At the same time the leaking felt is torn off the flat-roofed extension, back to a sound deck.
Flat roofs●
Materials
We work with what suits the building
Natural slate on period houses, fibre cement slate where the budget is tighter, concrete and clay tile, standing seam and cladding metal, fibreglass and Lava 20 on flat roofs. If a roof needs two systems joined properly, that is normal work for us.
Stage 04
New slate, a new flat roof, a new frame
Natural slate is laid and the ridge finished. The extension's flat roof gets a seamless grey liquid coating, and the trusses go up on the new garage.

How a job runs
Three steps, no surprises
1
Survey
We call out, go up on the roof and into the attic, and photograph everything we find. It takes about an hour and costs nothing.
2
Fixed price
You get a written quote listing materials, scaffold, skip and timeline. If we hit rot nobody could see, we show you before we touch it.
3
Build and clean up
Same crew start to finish. Gutters cleared, nails swept, skip gone. Photos of the finished roof go to you with the guarantee.
Stage 05
A new roof and an old barn
The new garage is felted, battened and slated from scratch. The old stone barn loses its rusty corrugated iron and gets new anthracite metal sheeting.
New roof installation●
