Felt roofs, commonly used for flat or low- pitched roofs, are created by layering
roofing felt – a material typically made of polyester or fibreglass that is saturated with bitumen or asphalt. These roofs are popular for applications like sheds, garage and extensions, providing an affordable and straightforward roofing option.
Torch on felt roof
Torch on felt roofing, is a type of felt roof installation that involves heating bitumencoated felt with a torch to adhere it securely to the roof surface. This method creates a watertight, seamless and durable membrane, making it particularly effective for low-pitched roofs on garages, sheds and commercial buildings. Torch on felt roofing also offers strong resistance to weather, UV rays and water penetration making it more durable than traditional felt roofs. The torching process bonds the layers of
bitumen and felt tightly, providing enhanced protection against leaks and reducing the need for frequent repairs
Rubber Roof/ EPDM
Rubber roofing, commonly made from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), is a durable and flexible roofing solution ideal for flat or low – sloped roofs. EPDM rubber roofing is created from synthetic rubber membranes which provide a seamless, waterproof barrier, making it highly effective at preventing leaks and damage from water infiltration. Rubber roofs are widely used for residential, commercial and industrial applications due to their resilience and longevity, with one of the main advantages being their durability and resistance to extreme weather, UV rays and thermal expansion/contraction, making them suitable for a range of climates. Rubber roofs can also be eco-friendly, as they are often made from recycled materials and can be recycled at the end of their lifespan.
GRP/ Fibre glass
GRP roofing is a durable, weather- resistant flat roofing solution often chosen for both commercial and residential properties. Comprising a single – ply laminate of resin and glass fibre mat, GRP roofs form a seamless, watertight finish that is resistant to extreme weather, UV rays and general wear. This type of roofing is known for its low maintenance needs and long lifespan. Additionally, GRP roofing is lightweight, easy to install and can be customised to fit various roof shapes, making it a versatile option for flat or low- pitched roofs.
Pitched Roofs
Pitched roofs are sloped roofs designed to shed water efficiently, making them ideal for regions with high rainfall or snowfall. The incline helps prevent water pooling, reducing the risk of leaks and structural damage. Pitched roofs come in various styles, including gable, hope and mansard, each providing different aesthetic and functional benefits. They are typically constructed using materials like asphalt, shingles, metal, tiles , or slate, chosen for durability and weather resistance. Known for their longevity, thermal insulation and effective ventilation, pitched roofs are popular in residential settings for their classic look and practicality in diverse climates.
Hand cut Roofs
A hand cut roof is a traditional, custom built roofing framework where each timber piece is cut and assembled on -site. Unlike prefabricated trusses, hand-cut roofs offer flexibility, allowing for complex shapes, unique roof lines and custom designs to fit the specific layout of a building. Typically used in residential construction, especially for homes with irregular layouts or architectural details, hand-cut roofs require skilled carpentry and are labour intensive. However, they provide greater adaptability in attic space and can accommodate unique roof pitches or dormers, making them a popular choice for bespoke or high-quality homes.
Heritage Roofs
A heritage roof refers to a roofing style and construction method used to restore or preserve the original look of historic or listed buildings. These roofs are crafted using traditional materials and techniques, such as slate, clay tiles, or wood shingles, to maintain the building’s architectural authenticity and historical value. Often governed by conservation guidelines, heritage roofing requires skilled craftsmanship to match the original aesthetics while ensuring the structure’s durability and functionality. Heritage roofs not only protect the integrity of historic structures, but also enhance the cultural significance and value of these buildings, making them integral to architectural preservation.
Guttering installation & repairs & cleaning
Guttering installation, repairs and cleaning are essential services for maintaining effective water drainage on a building. Proper gutter installation ensures that rainwater is channelled away from the structure, preventing issues like foundation erosion, basement flooding and damage to exterior walls. Over time, gutters may need repairs due to wear, leaks, or damage from weather and debris, which can hinder their function. Regular gutter cleaning is also crucial as leaves, dirt and other debris can accumulate, causing blockages and overflow. Routine maintenance of gutters prolongs their lifespan, protects the building’s integrity and minimises the need for costly repairs.
Fascia & Soffit installation & repairs
Fascia and soffit installation and repair are key aspects of roofline maintenance that protect a building’s structure and improve its appearance. The fascia, a horizontal board along the edge of the roof, supports the gutters and adds a finished look to the roofline. The soffit, located beneath the fascia, helps ventilate the loft, preventing moisture build up and mould growth. Proper installation ensures both components are securely attached and aligned, while regular repairs address issues like rotting wood, cracks, or peeling paint that may compromise the roof’s integrity. Maintaining fascia and soffits protects the roof, enhances ventilation, and contributes to the building’s curb appeal.
Chimney repairs
Chimney repairs are essential for preserving the safety, functionality and appearance of chimneys in homes and heritage buildings. Over time, chimneys can suffer from issues like cracked masonry, damaged flaunching, loose or missing bricks and eroded mortar joints, which may lead to structural instability and water ingress. Our repair services include repointing, rebuilding damaged sections, installing lead flashing and fitting chimney caps to prevent debris and rain from entering. Regular chimney maintenance not only extends the lifespan of the structure but also ensures proper ventilation for fireplaces and stoves, preventing potential hazards like dampness and carbon monoxide leaks.
Leadwork & Lead repairs
Roof lead work and lead repairs are crucial for waterproofing and protecting various roof features such as chimneys, valleys and joints. Lead is a durable, malleable material that provides an excellent seal against water penetration, often used in flashings and weatherproofing applications. Over time, however, lead can become damaged due to environmental factors like temperature changes, which may cause cracking, lifting or corrosion. Our repair services involve replacing or reshaping lead flashing, re-securing joints and ensuring a tight, weather- resistant seal. Proper maintenance of roof lead work helps prevent leaks, extends the lifespan of the roofing system and preserves the building’s structural integrity.
Moss removal
Our moss removal service is essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your roof. Moss growth can trap moisture, which may lead to issues like shingle damage, leaks, and mould. Our service includes safely clearing moss, lichen and other debris using methods that prevent damage to the roofing materials, such as gentle brushing or low-pressure washing. In addition, treatments can be applied to inhibit regrowth and prolong the roof’s cleanliness. Regular moss removal not only improves curb appeal, but also extends the life of the roof by reducing the risk of water damage and ensuring effective drainage.
Rooflight & Skylight Installation
Rooflights and skylights enhance the natural light and ventilation in a building. Roof lights are installed on flat or low-pitched roofs, while skylights are typically found in sloped roofs. Both allow sunlight to enter interior spaces, reducing the need for artificial lighting and improving the overall atmosphere. Installation involves carefully selecting the appropriate size and placement to ensure optimal light intake and energy efficiency. With our installations, you can count on proper sealing and waterproofing to prevent leaks.
