-
Do you offer emergency roof repairs?Yes. We understand that roof problems can’t wait, especially when it comes to leaks or storm damage. That’s why we provide fast-response emergency repairs across our service areas. In many cases, we can attend within 24 hours to assess and fix urgent roofing issues safely and effectively.
-
Are your quotes fixed or will the price change?Our quotes are transparent and fixed unless you request changes or unforeseen issues arise. We’ll always keep you informed of any updates and get your approval before proceeding. There are no hidden fees, and everything is explained clearly so you know exactly what you're paying for.
-
Do your roof installations come with a guarantee?Definitely. All our new roof installations are backed by a 20 year workmanship guarantee, giving you long-term peace of mind. Additionally, many of the roofing materials we use come with manufacturer warranties, offering further protection and value.
-
Can I live in my home while the roof is being replaced?Yes, in most cases you can safely remain in your home during the roof installation. Our team works efficiently and respectfully to minimise disruption, and we take steps to protect your property throughout the job, including weatherproofing and safe site management.
-
How long does a new roof installation take?The average roof installation takes 3 to 7 working days, depending on the size and complexity of the job. Larger or more complex roofs may take a bit longer, but we’ll always give you a clear timeline before work begins, and keep you updated throughout the process.
-
Will my new roof match the look of my existing home?Absolutely. We carefully match tiles, slates, ridge lines, and finishes to ensure your new roof integrates perfectly with the rest of your property. Our aim is always to enhance your home’s appearance while delivering exceptional durability and weather protection.
-
What materials do you use for pitched roofs?We install both concrete or clay tiles and natural or synthetic slate, offering a variety of colours and styles to match your home. We’ll help you choose the right roofing material based on your budget, local planning requirements, and the architectural style of your property.
-
Do you install flat roofs too?Yes, we install a full range of flat roofing systems including torch-on felt, GRP fibreglass, and EPDM rubber. Each system is selected based on your needs and budget, whether for an extension, dormer, garage, or outbuilding, and comes with strong guarantees and watertight finishes.
-
Do you offer emergency roof repairs?Yes, we provide fast-response emergency repairs for urgent roofing problems like leaks, storm damage, or fallen tiles. In most cases, we can attend within 24 hours to assess the issue and carry out either a temporary fix or a full repair, depending on what’s needed.
-
What should I do if my roof is leaking?If you notice water coming through your ceiling or into your loft, try to safely catch the water in a container and minimise the spread of moisture. Then contact us as soon as possible. The sooner we attend, the more likely we can prevent lasting damage. We offer priority appointments for active leaks.
-
Can you repair a roof without replacing the whole thing?Absolutely. Many roofing issues, like slipped tiles, broken flashing, or gutter leaks, can be repaired without full replacement. We always aim for the most cost-effective solution and only recommend a full roof replacement when absolutely necessary.
-
Do you offer regular maintenance plans?Yes, we offer annual and seasonal maintenance plans to help keep your roof in top condition. These include inspections, cleaning, minor repairs, and priority booking for emergencies. It’s a great way to avoid expensive surprises and extend your roof’s lifespan.
-
How much do roof repairs usually cost?Repair costs vary depending on the type and severity of the damage. Minor tile repairs may start from around £150, while more extensive issues like lead flashing, valleys, or partial re-roofing will be priced accordingly. We provide clear, written quotes before any work begins, no hidden fees.
-
Can you clean moss and debris off my roof?Definitely. We offer roof cleaning and moss removal services using safe, non-damaging techniques. Moss can trap moisture and cause long-term damage, so regular cleaning helps protect your tiles and improve the look of your home. We also clean and clear gutters as part of this service.
-
Can you replace my fascias and soffits without changing the whole roof?Yes, we regularly carry out fascia, soffit, and gutter replacements as standalone projects. You don’t need to replace your roof to upgrade your roofline. Whether your timber fascias are rotting or you simply want a cleaner, modern look with uPVC, we can help.
-
What colours and styles do you offer for roofline products?We supply and install uPVC roofline systems in a variety of colours and finishes, including white, black, anthracite grey, brown, and even woodgrain effects. These can be matched to your windows or brickwork for a consistent and stylish finish that enhances curb appeal.
-
Can I add insulation during a roofing or fascia job?Absolutely. Many customers choose to upgrade loft or roof insulation while we’re already working on their property, saving time and reducing costs. We use modern, high-performance insulation materials that help cut down on energy bills and meet the latest building standards.
-
Do you install roof windows or skylights?Yes. We professionally install Velux-style roof windows and skylights, ideal for adding natural light and ventilation to lofts, extensions, or flat roof spaces. All installations are fully sealed, insulated, and compliant with building regulations for energy efficiency and safety.
-
What types of cladding do you install?We offer both uPVC cladding and composite cladding (such as fibre cement options like HardiePlank). These materials are long-lasting, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance, perfect for dormers, extensions, or full façade upgrades. They also improve thermal efficiency and exterior appearance.
-
How often should gutters be cleaned?We recommend gutter cleaning at least once a year, ideally in late autumn or early spring. If you have trees nearby or experience heavy rainfall, more frequent checks may be needed. Regular cleaning prevents blockages, leaks, and water damage to walls and foundations.
