OUR EXTENSIVE RANGE OF SERVICES

We specialise in all aspects of roofing work. All materials and types.

You might not think that there is much history surrounding roofing, but the roof landscape here in the UK is very different from anywhere else in Europe, boasting a rich and interesting heritage. The widespread use of concrete tiles, which are present on around 60% of all pitched roofs are the most common roofing material used in this country. 20% of the total are slate tiles, while clay tiles are at around 10%.

Roofs that are sloped are referred to as “pitched”. The “pitch” of a roof describes how steep a roof is, anything less steep than 10 degrees is considered a flat roof. Depending on what material the roof is made from, the pitch will affect it – for example, thatched roofs require a very steep pitch in order to drain correctly.

In areas with frequent bad weather, pitched roofs are more beneficial, allowing excess water to run off the building faster. Some areas also have specific building codes, requiring all roofs to be of at least a certain pitch.

Lead Work

Lead sheet has been used in roofing applications for centuries and we believe it is far superior to any other synthetic roofing materials in use today. It is malleable and can be dressed to fit curves and contours of roofing tiles, guttering and chimney fixtures to ensure the roof is sealed tightly against leaks, draughts and heat loss.

FLAT ROOF EXPERTS

Flat roofs are roofs, as their name suggests, roofs that have a pitch of less than 10 degrees, allowing the roof to be used as a living space or a rooftop garden. Flat roofs are more common in dryer parts of the world, but are becoming more commonplace on modern buildings and complexes, as well as house additions such as garages and extensions.

Firestone EDPM Rubber Roofs

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (or EPDM) rubber is a form of synthetic rubber that is often applied as a single-ply membrane to flat roofs. As it is simple to apply, it is a much cheaper option for flat roofs, and when correctly installed, has an expected lifespan of 30 to 50 years.

Built-Up Felt Roofs

A built-up felt roof is a method of weatherproofing flat roofs by using several layers of felt which are bonded to the layer underneath. Felt sheets are made up of a mat of fibres coated on both sides with a bituminous coating and covered with a light sand to prevent the layers from sticking together.

Lead Roofs

Another option for flat roofs is lead. Lead is common in use on historic buildings, such as churches. It is ideal for areas that experience high levels of precipitation and cold temperatures, as it is very durable. The larger the surface of the roof is, the thicker the lead sheet needs to be, in order to prevent heat shrinkage.

Our Other Services

Roof Repairs

Exposed to the elements, roofs are subject to damage by the British weather – especially during the wintertime. Spotting danger signs like leaks, damp or missing tiles early can save you a lot of money and hassle in the long run.

Ethical Green Roofing

If you are looking to reduce your energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint or simply want something different, a green, or “living” roof might just be perfect for you.

Fascias

Fascia are primarily used to supporting the bottom row of roof tiles and also holding up the guttering – hence, they are often put under a lot of strain as they regularly hold a lot of weight, especially in bad weather conditions.

Soffits

Soffits are attached to the underside of the fascia and can be seen from street level. The soffit can be ventilated to allow airflow into the roof area and prevent damp. Soffits are typically used around the main roof of a building, but can also be used under porches, columns, arches and flights of stairs.

Gutters

We offer gutter cleaning services, as well as replacing old or worn gutters or providing a new set, available in a variety of different colours and styles.

Pigeon & Bird Control

Pigeon and bird control is the deterring or getting rid of a bird problem caused by unwanted pigeons, seagulls and other birds that land, roost or nest on properties.

One of the most common problems associated with pigeons is the unsightly and unhygienic soiling of buildings where the pigeons have been roosting and perching on ledges, roofs and window sills.
