Full re-roofing
Strip, membrane, batten and re-cover in slate or tile, with new ridge, verge and flashings. Scaffold, waste and the building notice are in the price.
Services
From one slipped slate to the whole roof.
Starting prices are below and they include the scaffold, the skip and the VAT. Send a photo and we will tell you which of these you actually need, even when the answer is a repair rather than a re-roof.
Leaks and storm repairs
Slipped slates, cracked tiles, split flashings, blown ridges. We photograph the fault from the scaffold or the drone before we touch it, and again once it is fixed.
Flat roofs and dormers
EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass over a new insulated deck. Garages, extensions and dormer cheeks, with the fall corrected so water actually leaves the roof.
Guttering, fascias and soffits
Full UPVC or aluminium replacement, or a clear and re-fix where the run is sound. Downpipes taken into the gully properly rather than left to splash the wall.
Chimney and lead work
Re-pointing, re-flaunching, new lead soakers and step flashings, removal and capping off. Every stack gets a photo report, because you will never see the top of it yourself.
Scaffolding
Our own towers and edge protection, put up by CISRS trained scaffolders. Erected the working day before we start and struck within two days of finishing.
Coverings
What goes on top, and what it costs.
Prices per square metre, fitted, including strip-out and disposal of the old covering.
Natural Welsh and Spanish slate
Slate roofs

Questions
The six we get asked every week.
Within 24 hours across the S postcodes for anything letting water in. We sheet the roof and make it safe first, then price the permanent repair once the weather has passed.
