feedback
The company operates with £10 Million Public Liability Insurance to cover high value projects as well as any smaller residential restoration works we carry out.
The cost depends on the size of the property, materials used, and the complexity of the structure. We provide a detailed quotation following a site visit.
Most installations take between 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the size of the roof and the materials selected.
Slate and clay tiles are commonly used for traditional properties, while GRP fibreglass and EPDM systems are ideal for flat roofs and extensions.
In most cases, planning permission is not required if replacing like-for-like. It may be needed for listed buildings or structural changes.
If your roof shows signs of ageing, recurring issues, or structural wear, a full replacement is often the most effective long-term solution.
