Services
Flat Roof Coverings
Our EPDM Single Ply Flat Roof Coverings provide durable, waterproof solutions for commercial and domestic properties. Using high-quality materials like PVC and EPDM membranes, we ensure long-lasting protection against weather damage. These systems are flexible, easy to install, and suitable for green or pitched roof applications, offering energy efficiency and UV resistance.
Heritage Roofing
Specialising in listed buildings, our Heritage Roofing services restore traditional roofs using authentic materials like Welsh slate and lead. Compliant with strict preservation regulations, we blend modern techniques with historical accuracy to maintain structural integrity while enhancing aesthetic appeal for churches, manor houses, and Grade 1/2 listed properties.
Lead Work
We offer expert lead work renewal and installation, including flashings, soakers, and abutments. Our craftsmen use corrosion-resistant lead sheets to create watertight seals for chimneys, dormers, and roof valleys. This traditional material ensures longevity and compliance with heritage and modern building standards.
Roof Windows
Installation of Velux roof windows enhances natural light and ventilation in residential and commercial spaces. Our double-glazed units provide excellent insulation, noise reduction, and security features, including burglary-resistant designs. Available in various styles, they suit tiled, concrete, and slate roofs without compromising structural integrity.
Roofline
Our roofline services include fascia, soffit, and bargeboard repairs or replacements. These components ensure proper gutter support, ventilation, and protection against damp. We use durable materials to prevent deterioration, maintaining both functionality and visual appeal for properties across Yorkshire and Northern England.
