Services
Flat Roof Coverings
Our EPDM Single Ply Flat Roof Coverings provide durable, waterproof solutions for commercial and domestic properties. Using flexible, UV-resistant materials, we ensure long-lasting protection against weathering and thermal shock. The system integrates seamlessly with green or pitched roof designs, offering sustainability and adaptability for various building types while maintaining compliance with insulation standards.
Heritage Roofing
Specialising in listed buildings, our NFRC-accredited heritage roofing services restore churches, manor houses, and Grade 1/2 listed structures. We employ traditional materials like natural slate and lead to preserve historical integrity while meeting modern regulatory requirements. Our team ensures seamless integration of repairs with original architectural features.
Lead Work Renewal
We provide corrosion-resistant lead work for flashings, soakers, and abutments, ensuring watertight roofs on steep or low-pitched structures. Our craftsmen adhere to industry standards for durability, using reinforced lead sheets that outlast alternative materials while maintaining compliance with ventilation and insulation regulations.
Roof Window Installation
Our Velux roof window installations enhance natural light and ventilation in residential and commercial spaces. We offer double-glazed units with burglary-resistant properties, tailored to tiled, concrete, or slate roofs. The windows feature low U-values for energy efficiency and noise reduction, complemented by optional blinds and balcony extensions.
Roofline Repairs
We repair and replace fascias, soffits, and bargeboards to maintain roofline integrity and prevent water damage. Our solutions include ventilated soffits to reduce condensation risks and durable materials that withstand heavy rainfall. Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of gutter systems and preserves structural aesthetics.

Report
I would definitely recommend RA Sidebottom Roofing. I had my roof done 10 years ago and when I contacted them they came out the next day and fixed my roof there and then even though the problem I had wasn't down to them but an aerial company. Great service, friendly, and very experienced.
