What roofing jobs do you cover?
The short answer
Everything from a single slipped slate to a full re-roof — pitched and flat, slate, tile and stone, chimneys and leadwork, guttering and fascias, roof windows, and storm and insurance work. Small jobs are welcome; they are usually the ones that save the most money.

The short version: if it is on the roof or attached to it, it is covered. The full list of individual jobs, each written up properly, is on the services pages.
Repairs are the bulk of it — slipped slates, cracked tiles, failed flashings, cracked ridge bedding, leaking valleys. These are the jobs where dealing with something early costs a fraction of dealing with it late, and small jobs are genuinely welcome rather than tolerated.
Pitched roofing covers natural slate, clay and concrete tile, and stone slate on the older properties out towards the hills. That includes full strip-and-re-lay, battens, breathable membrane, ventilation and everything at the junctions.
Flat roofing covers extensions, dormers, garages and porches in EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and modern high-performance felt — including working out which of those actually suits your roof rather than defaulting to one.
Chimneys and leadwork are their own specialism and a large share of the leaks we get called to. Repointing, flaunching, rebuilds, removals, and the full set of lead weatherings that a stack passing through a roof needs.
Rainwater goods — gutters, downpipes, fascias, soffits and bargeboards, including cast iron repair and repainting where it is worth keeping. Plus roof windows, roof lanterns, moss removal, and storm and insurance work.
What is not covered: anything genuinely structural beyond carpentry repairs — a spreading roof or a deflecting purlin needs a structural engineer, and you will be told so plainly rather than sold a covering laid over a moving problem. Solar panel installation and full loft conversions are also other trades.
