Re-Roofing
We provide comprehensive re-roofing services using natural slates, concrete tiles, or clay tiles. Our team removes old materials, installs breathable felt, and ensures proper ventilation. With options for dry-fixed ridges and recycled materials, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. All projects include a 10-year guarantee and building regulation compliance.
Flat Roofing
Our flat roofing solutions use high-quality polyester felts from Delta and Ruberoid. We specialise in both new installations and repairs for domestic and commercial properties. Systems include waterproofing membranes, insulation, and durable finishes like paving or decking. Each project receives a written guarantee and includes free surveys for long-term durability.

Rapid response times ensure minimal property damage, with assessments and quotes provided immediately. Services cover both residential and commercial properties across the North West.

Report
This company was recommended to me and came out to quote for a retiling job. The guy suggested that our chimney breast was in an unstable condition and would also require work. He was unwilling to give an estimate in person which is understandable but he mentioned it would be significant . A couple of days later I received a quote for the tiling but it did not include a quote for the chimney work.
I replied asking for a quote for both jobs and received a call back where in a round about way he said he would not be interested in doing the chimney job..despite their website mentioning that they carry

Very disappointed with my experience of this company. someone called out and did a site visit, discussed the work required and said quote would be submitted. I have called the company at least 4 times chasing the quotation and am repeatedly promised someone will get back to me but as yet still waiting for any response. I would rather they were honest with potential clients and just say they dont want the work.
