New Roofs
Complete pitched and bespoke roof installations using high-grade slate, tile, and modern breathability systems — backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.
Natural slate
Dense, long-lasting slate fixed with copper nails over a breathable membrane.
Clay tiles
Traditional clay pantiles or plain tiles for period homes.
Red interlocking tiles & dry verge
Modern red interlocking tiles with mortar-free black dry verge system.
Built on proper foundations
A new roof is one of the most significant investments you will make in your home. Our new roof installations are built to last, combining premium materials, breathable membrane technology, and dry-fix systems that stand up to the worst of the British weather. From the structural rafter inspection through to the final ridge cap, every stage is carried out by our roofing team — never sub-contracted.
We strip the old covering right back to the rafters, inspect and replace any decayed timber, then install treated timber battens over a breathable underlay membrane. Ventilated eaves and dry-fix verge and ridge systems prevent wind lift and condensation — the two most common causes of premature roof failure. The result is a roof that breathes, sheds water cleanly, and stays put in high winds.
