Yes. We carry full public liability insurance and employer's liability insurance. All our operatives are vetted and experienced, and we can provide copies of our insurance certificates on request.
We provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee on all roofing repairs and installations. Some products we use, such as EPDM rubber membranes, also carry their own manufacturer guarantees of up to 25 years.
Most roofing problems can be resolved with targeted repairs rather than a full replacement. If your roof is over 50 years old, has widespread deterioration across multiple areas, or repair costs would exceed 50% of replacement cost, we may advise replacement. However, we always provide honest, impartial advice and will never recommend more work than is genuinely needed.
Yes. We work throughout the year including winter, though we do monitor weather conditions to ensure safe working. Most repair work can be carried out in cold conditions using appropriate materials. We will always advise you if weather conditions make it safer or more practical to reschedule a specific job.
Call us immediately on 07971 321313. While you wait, try to contain any water with buckets or towels and move valuables away from the affected area. Do not attempt to access your roof yourself — this is dangerous. Our emergency team will make your roof safe as a priority, then carry out a permanent repair.

Most home insurance policies cover storm damage to roofs, but the specific terms vary between policies. We work with all major home insurers and can provide a detailed written damage report, photographs, and repair estimates to support your claim. We can also liaise directly with loss adjusters on your behalf.
A standard residential roof clean typically takes 4–8 hours depending on the size of the roof and the extent of moss and algae growth. Larger properties or roofs with very heavy growth may require a full day. We will give you an accurate time estimate when quoting.
No. High-pressure washing can damage natural slate by widening hairline cracks, dislodging nail fixings, and disturbing the surface texture. For slate roofs, we always use low-pressure soft wash techniques combined with specialist biocidal treatments, which are both safer and more effective.
Signs your gutters need attention include: water overflowing over the edges of gutters during rainfall, visible plants growing in gutters, gutters sagging or pulling away from the fascia, damp patches on external walls below gutter lines, or visible cracks or splits in gutter sections. We offer a free gutter inspection with any visit.
Pricing varies depending on the type and extent of work required. Minor roof repairs start from around £150; gutter cleaning typically ranges from £60–£150; roof cleaning from £300–£800; fascia and soffit replacement from £800–£2,500. We provide free, detailed written quotes before any work begins — no hidden extras, ever.
For larger projects, we can discuss staged payment options. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and we will do our best to find a payment arrangement that works for you.
