Services
Traditional Roof Tiling
Our traditional roof tiling combines time-tested materials with modern installation techniques to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal. Suitable for residential and commercial properties, this service provides long-lasting protection against weather elements while maintaining architectural integrity. Clients benefit from expert craftsmanship and tailored solutions to match specific design requirements.
Single-Ply Flat Roofing
Single-ply flat roofing systems offer lightweight, flexible waterproofing solutions ideal for modern commercial and residential buildings. Using high-performance materials like PVC and TPO, we deliver energy-efficient installations that resist UV radiation and thermal expansion. Clients gain cost-effective, low-maintenance coverage with rapid installation times and extended warranties.
Solar Panel Installation
Contour Renewables designs and installs solar PV systems for new builds and existing properties, reducing energy costs and carbon footprints. Our integrated approach ensures seamless coordination between roofing and solar works, with MCS-accredited installations backed by HIES warranties. Clients receive efficient, compliant systems with ongoing support and maintenance options.
Liquid Plastics Waterproofing
Liquid plastics waterproofing creates seamless, durable barriers for flat and complex roof structures. This cold-application method minimises disruption and fire risks while providing excellent adhesion to various substrates. Clients benefit from rapid curing times, long-term leak prevention, and compliance with stringent building regulations.
Sedum Green Roofs
Sedum green roofs combine ecological benefits with aesthetic value, enhancing biodiversity and thermal insulation. Our installations include lightweight substrates, drought-resistant vegetation, and drainage layers tailored to structural capacities. Clients enjoy improved sustainability credentials, rainwater management, and visually striking roofscapes for urban environments.

Contour Roofing replaced my damaged old felt flat roof using Sarnafil Single Ply membrane. The workmanship was first class and the fitters were clean and tidy. Very professional service indeed, highly recommended local company.

I was so impressed with everything from my first call to Michelle, the two roofers turning up bang on time, and finishing off the job on a freezing cold morning while it was snowing! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to others - reliable, considerate and good value for an excellent job. Thank you!

Contacted this business to express concern of their staff ignoring Covid guidelines. Despite their mention of Covid safe practices one of their workers completely disregarded wearing a face mask when entering a local shop in datchworth. He clearly had no underlying health condition as he through his cigarette on the floor just before entering the shop. I think the only thing he was suffering from was ignorance. He also parked illegally right on a cross roads. It is disappointing that this company is willing to risk the lives of vulnerable people. Sent a message to the MD but had no response. If

I can't speak for their service but what a terrible driver! You wouldn't expect people to drive like this whilst promoting their business.
