What we do
Most of our work is roof repairs, new roofs and re-roofs and flat roofing. We also do lead work and chimney repairs, fascias and gutters and Velux windows, for private homes, landlords, insurance work and commercial buildings.
How we work
We come out, look at the roof properly and tell you straight what it needs. You get a clear written quote that's great value for money, a start date we stick to, and a tidy site at the end of every day. If we find more damage once a roof is opened up, we tell you before we carry on.
