Fibreglass Roofing
Our Flexi-Flo fibreglass roofing system provides seamless, durable protection with a 25-year watertight guarantee. Using advanced polyester resin technology, this lightweight solution resists cracking while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Ideal for flat or pitched roofs up to 45 degrees, it offers fire-retardant properties and optional thermal insulation upgrades. The seamless application eliminates leak risks from overlapping joints, making it perfect for conservatories, extensions, and commercial buildings requiring long-term reliability.
Green Roofs
Transform your property with eco-friendly green roofs that combine environmental benefits with enhanced insulation. Our systems feature sedum or wildflower vegetation layers that reduce energy costs, absorb CO2, and manage rainwater runoff. Available for domestic and commercial properties, these lightweight installations extend roof lifespan while creating natural habitats. We offer maintenance packages to ensure long-term viability, with options for partial or full roof coverage to suit various architectural styles.
Pond Construction
Design and build bespoke garden ponds that enhance outdoor spaces while supporting local biodiversity. Our expert team handles excavation, waterproofing, and filtration system installation, offering both ornamental and fish-friendly designs. We incorporate viewing panels for aquatic observation and ensure proper ecosystem balance. From initial concept to completed installation, we create functional water features that complement your garden's natural aesthetics and provide lasting enjoyment.
Slating & Tiling
Professional slating and tiling services for new constructions and roof replacements. We offer traditional natural slate and modern lightweight tile options suitable for challenging pitches from 10 degrees. Our installations include full felt and batten replacement, with insulation upgrades available. We specialise in converting flat roofs to pitched designs while maintaining structural integrity and weatherproofing standards across residential and commercial properties.
Roof Repairs
Comprehensive roof repair services addressing leaks, weather damage, and material deterioration. Our team conducts thorough inspections to identify underlying issues before implementing lasting solutions. We restore damaged roofline components, replace faulty flashing, and repair structural elements while maintaining aesthetic consistency. Emergency call-outs are available for urgent situations, with preventative maintenance plans to extend roof lifespan and avoid costly future repairs.
