We use clay or concrete tiles to create a durable, weather-resistant covering. This offers a strong balance of performance, appearance and value, and individual damaged tiles can often be replaced without disturbing the whole roof.
Slate roofs use natural or manufactured slates to create a smart, traditional finish. Slate is extremely long-lasting, attractive and well suited to period properties. It provides superior storm resistance and durability as slates are stronger than tiles.
We install new pitched roofs for homes, extensions, garages, outbuildings and more. We prepare the roof structure, fit breathable membrane and battens, install the chosen tiles or slates, and finish the roof with suitable ridge, verge, valley and leadwork details.
We repair slipped tiles, cracked slates, storm damage, roof leaks, loose ridges, damaged verges and worn roof junctions. We identify where water is getting in and carry out targeted repairs to restore the roof’s weather protection.
We replace broken, missing or damaged tiles and slates using suitable materials for the roof. We always try to ensure that the repair blends in with the surrounding roof area as much as possible. Where possible we will source the exact same slate or tile.
We repair and renew ridge tiles, verge details and valley sections to help keep exposed areas watertight. We repoint mortar where suitable, replace damaged components and clear or repair valleys where water flow has been affected.
If you’ve got an urgent roof issue or water ingress, please give us a call. We can install a fast, temporary fix to prevent any further damage in the short term, and can then advise about the best long-term repair.
We repair and replace lead flashings around chimneys, roof abutments, valleys and other vulnerable junctions. Our leadwork is carefully fitted to direct water away from the roof structure, helping prevent leaks and protect key roof joints.
We inspect the chimney, leadwork, brickwork, flaunching and nearby roof covering to find likely causes of leaks. We then carry out the smallest repair needed to restore long-lasting weather protection.
We serve most postcodes in the area.
Across Bedfordshire we’re often dealing with terraced streets where slate or clay-tiled pitched roofs and chimney stacks need careful matching, alongside post-war and newer estates with concrete tiles. On tighter urban plots we plan scaffold and material drops carefully, and around chimneys we pay attention to leadwork and abutments to avoid repeat leaks.
