Residential Roofing
Residential Roofing
A roof over your family's home deserves a roofer who treats it that way — surveyed properly, quoted in writing, and finished with care.
Overview
What residential roofing involves
Most household roof problems start small: perished mortar bedding, nail fatigue, a lifted ridge tile or a failed flashing. Left alone they become internal damage. We inspect the whole roof rather than the obvious defect, then tell you plainly whether a repair is sensible or the covering has reached the end of its life.
We work on natural slate, clay and concrete tile roofs, dormers, valleys, chimneys and roofline, with scaffolding arranged where required and the property left clean at the end of every working day.

Repair or re-roof
Working out what your roof actually needs
- 01
A repair may be appropriate
Isolated slipped or cracked tiles, a single failed flashing, or localised mortar loss on an otherwise sound roof usually points to a targeted repair rather than a full re-roof.
- 02
A re-roof may be appropriate
Widespread nail fatigue, a covering near or past its expected life, or repeated repairs in different areas are signs the roof as a whole should be considered.
- 03
We tell you honestly which applies
Every inspection ends with plain advice — not the largest possible quote. If a repair will genuinely see you through, we say so.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
- Can you quote from photographs?
- Often yes. Send photographs and a short description and we can usually give an indicative figure, though pricing may remain provisional until an inspection is completed.
- Will I need scaffolding?
- Most roof-level work requires scaffolding or a suitable access system for safety. We arrange it and include it in your quotation.
- How long does a re-roof take?
- A typical semi-detached or detached property is usually one to two weeks, depending on size, pitch, weather and access.
- Do you offer felt or fibreglass roofing?
- No. For flat areas we use EPDM, single-ply membrane or approved liquid-applied systems instead.
