Slate re-roofs - Slate is a natural product unlike many other roof products; it is more expensive than artificial man-made products i.e. concrete tiles but has a greater life span and is exceptionally durable in comparison.Slates have an expected life span of 75 years compared with as little as 12 years for artificial materials such as concrete tiles.

The eaves of a house are the part of the roof that overhangs the edge of the walls, keeping water clear from the walls, and preventing problems with water and damp seeping through into the building. To protect the rafters, boards are added to the edge and the underside of the eaves. These also provide a firm base to which to attach gutters.

Cure It, the GRP roofing system which we use, is issued with a 20-year warranty. The product is a fully-formulated, wet-laid, GRP waterproofing system. It is highly flexible and is fully bonded to the roof substrate. The system will be resistant to any wind uplift that could reasonably be expected during the product's lifespan.

Cast iron guttering systems are used widely on traditional buildings and heritage sites throughout York. Cast iron is a long term solution to guttering and has a fantastic life span if maintained correctly. It comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes i.e. half Round, moulded, rectangular etc. There are many cast iron extras available like hopper heads and detailed pieces which are available to suit all building designs.
