Roof repairsAcross the town there are plenty of hipped roofs on 1930s and post-war homes. When those roofs reach the end, a full re-roof is often better value than patching year after year.

New tiles/Barton etc. Dry fit system

Fitted new roof to conservatory
“Fantastic job. They quickly identified that the existing roof had an insufficient fall and not enough support beams to prevent the roof sagging and pooling. They proposed removing the existing roof and timber work replacing with new beams and a new felt roof. It looks great and we are very happy with the end result. They completed the work in one day and left the site tidy afterwards. Id have no hesitation in recommending”
