Services
Fibreglass Roofing
Our Fibreglass (GRP) roofing uses marine-grade resin 4-5mm thick, offering superior durability and leak resistance. This lightweight, seamless solution suits flat roofs, balconies, and coping walls while maintaining aesthetic appeal. With a 25-year guarantee, our system outperforms standard 2mm alternatives through enhanced material quality and installation expertise.
New Roofs
We install bespoke roofs using slate, tile, or Fibreglass tailored to property age and style. The process includes removing old materials, fitting breathable membranes, tanalised batons, and professional lead flashing. Our 20+ years of experience ensure structural integrity and visual harmony with surrounding architecture.
Roof Repairs
From missing slates to storm damage, we provide targeted repairs using matched materials. Our team handles hard-to-reach areas and insurance-related claims, prioritising cost-effective solutions over unnecessary replacements while maintaining roof longevity.
Roof Maintenance
Regular maintenance prevents costly damage through gutter clearance, downpipe unblocking, and nest removal. Our proactive inspections identify potential issues early, extending roof lifespan and avoiding emergency repairs during adverse weather conditions.
Storm Damage Repair
We respond swiftly to storm damage, securing properties against water ingress. Services include broken tile replacement, structural assessments, and insurance coordination. Our rapid response minimises long-term damage while ensuring safe, durable reinstatement of roofing systems.
