Photographed, then priced
Every quote comes back with images of the actual defect attached, so you are buying a repair you can see rather than one you are told about.

Why Verge
Nobody can see your roof. That is exactly why standards slip.
Half-nailed tiles, mortar where lead should be, felt lapped the wrong way, a repair that hides a rotten batten instead of replacing it. It all looks the same from the pavement, and it all comes back in three winters. We work as though the client is going to climb up and check.
The right materials
Code 4 lead where lead belongs, breathable membrane, treated battens, mechanically fixed ridge. Specified by name in the quote, not "like for like".
A price that holds
Scaffolding, skips, making good and VAT in the quoted figure. Variations only if we open up and find something neither of us could see, and only with your say-so.
Guaranteed, in writing
A written workmanship guarantee on what we have done, handed over with the completion photographs rather than promised and forgotten.

The process
Four stages, and you see the roof before you spend a penny.
Every job here is priced after somebody has looked at it, so the part worth being clear about is what happens between your enquiry and your price.
Enquiry and reply
Send the form with your postcode and what you are dealing with. We reply the same day, and sooner if water is coming in.
We come and look
Free, and we get up and look properly. Coverings, flashings, valleys, verges, ridge, chimney, gutters and, where we can access it, the loft side of the deck.
Photos and a fixed quote
Within 48 hours of the visit. Images of what we found, what it needs, what it does not need, materials named and the price fixed. Repair and replace options where both are viable.
The works, then the guarantee
Scaffold where the job needs it, site kept tidy, daily updates. Completion photographs and your written guarantee at handover.
Start stage one
Nobody chases you afterwards.
What we do
Residential. Commercial. Repairs. Maintenance. Re-roofs.
From a single slipped slate to a full strip and re-cover with new battens and membrane. Choose what you are dealing with and we will tell you how we approach it.
Full re-roofs
When a roof has reached the end of its life, patching it is money spent on delay. A full strip and re-cover means new membrane, new treated battens, new coverings, dry-fixed ridge and verge, and every flashing renewed rather than reused.
We quote the whole thing as one fixed figure including scaffolding, skips and making good, and we will tell you honestly if the roof has years left in it and a repair is the better spend this year.
Roof repairs
Slipped or broken tiles, failed pointing, cracked flashing, a valley that has rusted through, or a leak nobody has managed to trace. Most repairs are small; the hard part is finding the actual source rather than the wet patch.
We photograph the defect, repair the cause, and tell you if the same failure is likely elsewhere on the roof. A written guarantee on what we have done.
Flat roofing
Extensions, dormers, garages, balconies and commercial decks. Fibreglass GRP, EPDM rubber membrane and high-performance torch-on felt, chosen for the deck, the falls, the detailing and how much foot traffic it gets.
Almost every failed flat roof we strip has the same two problems: inadequate falls and poor upstand detailing. We correct both rather than laying a new covering over the reason the old one leaked.
Leadwork and chimneys
Chimney stacks, parapets, valleys, abutments and box gutters. This is where most roofs leak, and where most roofs have a mortar fillet doing a job that only lead can do properly.
Code 4 and Code 5 lead, correct bay lengths and welted joints so it can move without splitting, and repointing or rebuilding a stack where the brickwork has gone. Includes re-flaunching, and cowls or capping where a flue is redundant.
Guttering, fascias and soffits
Rainwater goods are unglamorous and they cause an enormous amount of damage when they fail: damp walls, rotten roof timber ends and blown render, all from a gutter that has been overflowing for two winters.
Clearing, realigning, repairing or full renewal in uPVC or aluminium, with fascia and soffit replacement where the timber behind them has gone. We check the whole run rather than the length you can see from the ground.
Storm damage and insurance
After high winds: lifted or missing tiles, ridge displaced, flashing peeled back, a dislodged stack or a section of felt torn off. The priority is making it safe and watertight, then documenting it properly.
We attend for temporary make-safe, then provide a dated photographic report and a scoped quotation in the format loss adjusters expect, so your claim is not held up by a one-line invoice.
Maintenance plans
Nearly every emergency we attend was preventable and visible a year earlier. An annual check costs a fraction of the repair it avoids, which is why most of our commercial and landlord clients are on a plan.
Annual or six-monthly inspections, gutter and valley clearing, moss removal where appropriate, minor pointing and fixings addressed on the visit, with a short photo report each time so you have a history of the roof.
Commercial roofing
Industrial units, warehouses, retail parades, schools and managed blocks. Single-ply membrane, built-up felt, liquid-applied coatings, profiled sheet repairs and roof light replacement.
Works programmed around occupancy and trading hours, with method statements and risk assessments provided, and phased where a full replacement cannot be taken on in one budget year.
Condition surveys
For buyers, sellers, landlords and managing agents who need to know what the roof actually needs before committing, budgeting, or answering a leaseholder.
A full photographic condition report with defects ranked by urgency and indicative costs against each, so the document is useful in a negotiation or a service charge forecast rather than just a list of concerns.
Commercial, landlords and agents
Protecting buildings you are responsible for, not just ones you live in.
Managed blocks, commercial units, warehouses, schools, retail parades and let residential portfolios. Roof condition surveys with costed priorities, planned maintenance rather than emergency callouts, and works programmed around occupants and trading hours.
Where a leak has already become a dispute or a claim, a dated photo report of the defect and the repair carried out is usually what settles it.

Straight answers
Fair questions before you let anyone on your roof.
Is the visit really free?
Yes. We come and look, get up on the roof where it is safe to, and you are under no obligation afterwards. Nothing is charged for the visit or for the quote that follows it.
Why will you not put prices on the website?
Because every roof is different, and a published figure that does not survive contact with your roof is worth less than no figure at all. What drives the price is the access, the size and pitch, the condition of the deck and battens underneath, and whether scaffolding is needed. We look, then we give you one fixed number in writing.
How quickly do I get the quote?
Within 48 hours of the visit, with photographs of what we found attached. If water is actively coming in we will tell you on the day what needs doing to make it safe.
Is the quote fixed, or does it move?
Fixed. Scaffolding, skips, making good and VAT are in the figure. The only variation is if we open the roof up and find something neither of us could see from outside, and that is discussed and agreed before any extra work happens.
Will you tell me if I do not need the work?
Yes, and we do it regularly. A roof with five years left in it does not need replacing today, and saying so is how we end up doing the job when it does.
What happens to the photographs I send?
They go to the person pricing your job and nowhere else. Your details are not sold, shared with lead brokers or added to any marketing list, and the site sets no tracking or advertising cookies.
Do you work with insurers and managing agents?
Regularly. We provide dated photographic reports with the cause stated and quotations scoped the way loss adjusters expect, which is usually what stops a claim stalling.
