Choose the service that matches the problem

This page exists so that nobody has to guess. If water is running into a room right now, you want emergency roof repair. If you have a stain on a ceiling and no idea where it comes from, you want roof leak detection. If a flat roof has been patched for years and still lets water in, you want waterproofing or a new covering.

Each service page explains the job in plain language, what usually causes it, and what the repair actually involves.

We do not only repair what the weather broke

Storm damage gets the attention because it arrives all at once, but a large share of the work is a roof that has simply reached the end of its service life. Waterproofing that has perished, sheeting rusted through, tiles that have gone porous, battens that have rotted.

We arrange full re-roofing alongside repairs: strip the old covering, replace the timber, battens and underlay, and install the new roof. If a repair will genuinely hold, we will say so. If it will not, a patch is money thrown at a problem that is coming back.
