One roof, start to finish.

01Before

A slate roof at the end of its life.

An Edwardian semi in Reigate. Original Welsh slate, eighty years on, slipping at the verges and letting water into the back bedroom. We stripped it to the rafters in a day.

02Strip & felt

Sound timber, breathable membrane.

New treated battens over a breathable underlay. Rafters checked, two replaced. Everything that disappears under the finish is the part that decides how long the roof lasts.

03Finished

Set to outlast its next owner.

Reclaimed slate to match the street, lead valleys dressed by hand, ridge bedded and pointed. Photographed the morning we took the scaffold down.

Before: A slate roof at the end of its life.
Strip & felt: Sound timber, breathable membrane.
Finished: Set to outlast its next owner.

How it goes
Four steps, no guesswork.
1
Step 1 / 4

Survey

We climb up, not just look from the pavement. You get photographs of what we find and a plain account of what needs doing.

2
Step 2 / 4

Quote

A fixed, itemised price. Materials named, access and waste included. No day-rate surprises once the scaffold is up.

3
Step 3 / 4

Schedule

A start date you can plan around, weather permitting. One point of contact from first call to final inspection.

Step 4 / 4

Build

Our own roofers, on site daily. Scaffold down, area swept, and a guarantee in writing before we leave.

In their words
People who have stood under it since.
They found a problem the previous two firms had quoted around. Explained it, photographed it, and priced the fix without inflating the rest. The roof has been silent through two winters since.
H. Marwood — Godalming
We were nervous about a listed cottage. They sourced reclaimed slate that matched the original course for course, and the conservation officer signed it off without a single note.
The Ellishaws — Cranleigh
A flat roof on a 1960s extension that had leaked for a decade. They warm-decked the whole thing, detailed the upstands properly, and it has not so much as misted since.
D. Okafor — Epsom
What stood out was the tidiness. Same two men every day, scaffold down on the date they gave us, and the garden left cleaner than they found it. The invoice matched the quote to the pound.

Where we work
Across Surrey and into Sussex.

A deliberately small radius. We stay close enough to be on a roof the morning after a storm, and to stand behind every guarantee in person.
