Roofing & Roof Repair

It depends on the roof’s age, condition and the cause of the issue. Localised leaks from slipped tiles, failed flashing or minor storm damage can often be repaired. Widespread failure, sagging timbers or perished coverings usually point to a re-roof. We survey first, photograph issues and provide clear options and pricing.

We work on pitched and flat roofs, including:

• Slate and clay/concrete tiles
• Flat roofs: EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, torch-on felt systems
• Leadwork, flashings and valleys
• Fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes
• Roof windows/lanterns (Velux) and skylights
• Chimney repointing, capping and repairs

Most like-for-like re-roofing and repairs don’t need planning permission. Planning can be required in conservation areas, on listed buildings, or if you’re significantly altering the roof shape/height. Many roof windows are permitted development if they don’t project excessively. We’ll advise the correct route for your address.

Yes—we supply and install uPVC or timber fascias and soffits, plus gutters and downpipes to suit your property. Upgrading roofline at the same time as a re-roof often gives the best long-term result.
