Services
Listed Building Roofing
Specialist restoration of listed buildings using reclaimed materials like natural slate, lead, and clay. Our team combines traditional techniques with modern compliance standards to preserve architectural integrity while ensuring weatherproofing and durability for period properties.
Chimney Rebuilds
Comprehensive chimney reconstruction and repairs using matching brickwork and lead detailing. We address structural issues, rebuild collapsed sections, and install new cappings while maintaining aesthetic consistency with original designs in both modern and heritage properties.
Flat Roofing
Installation and repair of durable flat roofing systems for commercial and residential properties. We use high-quality felt, GRP, or single-ply membranes to create watertight solutions with proper drainage, tailored to both new builds and refurbishment projects.
Lead Work
Custom leadwork for valleys, flashings, gutters, and roof penetrations. Our skilled craftsmen cut, shape, and install lead sheets to create long-lasting waterproof seals, particularly for complex roof junctions and heritage buildings requiring traditional materials.
Roof Repairs
Comprehensive roof repair services addressing leaks, storm damage, and material deterioration. We conduct thorough inspections to identify issues with slates, tiles, or felt, then implement targeted fixes to restore structural integrity and prevent future water ingress.
