About this service
Pitched Roofing — done properly, the first time
Pitched roofs are what we live and breathe. Whether you've got a Victorian terrace with original Welsh slate, a 1930s semi in clay tile, or a modern home in interlocking concrete, the underlying principles are the same: correct gauge, proper fixings, breathable membrane, and detailing that doesn't rely on mortar to keep the weather out.
We re-roof, partially strip, and convert pitched roofs across the UK. That includes tile-to-slate and slate-to-tile conversions, dormer roofs, hip roofs, mansards and complex valley arrangements. Every roof is set out properly, double-nailed where exposed, and finished with a current-spec dry ridge and verge.
If your existing roof is sound but the ridges, verges or flashings are failing, we can also re-bed in dry-fix without needing a full strip — saving you money where a full re-roof isn't yet warranted.
