How long does a new roof installation take?
The timeline for a new roof installation depends on the size of your roof, the materials chosen, and the weather conditions. Typically, most installations can be completed within a week.
What is the lifespan of a new pitched roof?
A properly installed pitched roof should last between 25–60 years, depending on the materials used and how well it is maintained.
Can I choose the style and color of my new roof?
Yes, we offer a variety of materials and colors to match your home’s style and your personal preference.
What causes roof leaks?
Roof leaks are often caused by broken or missing shingles, damaged flashing, clogged gutters, or aging roof materials. We conduct thorough inspections to identify and repair the source of leaks.
How soon can you respond to emergency roof repairs?
We aim to respond to emergency repair requests as quickly as possible, especially in cases where water damage may occur. Contact us immediately if you have an urgent need.
Can small roof repairs prevent larger issues later?
Yes, addressing small repairs early can prevent more extensive (and expensive) problems, preserving your roof’s integrity and protecting your home.
What materials do you use for flat roofs?
We use high-quality, durable materials suitable for flat roofs, including EPDM rubber, PVC, and felt, which offer excellent durability and weather resistance.
How often should I have my flat roof inspected?
Flat roofs should be inspected annually and after heavy storms to ensure they’re free of cracks, pooling water, or other issues.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
We recommend cleaning your gutters twice a year—in spring and autumn—to prevent blockages that can lead to water damage.
What types of gutters do you install?
We offer a range of guttering options, including PVC and aluminum, to suit various budgets and preferences.
Can blocked gutters cause roof leaks?
Yes, clogged gutters can overflow and cause water to seep into the roofline, leading to leaks and structural damage over time.
Why are soffits and fascias important?
Soffits and fascias protect the roofline from moisture and pests, support guttering, and improve ventilation, contributing to a healthier roofing system.
How often should soffits and fascias be replaced?
With proper maintenance, soffits and fascias can last up to 20 years. However, they may need replacement sooner if they become damaged or start to deteriorate.
Can you repair and replace conservatory roofs?
Yes, we provide both repairs and replacements for conservatory roofs, using materials designed to improve insulation and energy efficiency.
How can I improve the insulation of my conservatory roof?
We offer insulated roofing materials and solutions specifically for conservatories, helping to maintain comfortable temperatures year-round.
Why is regular roof maintenance important?
Routine maintenance helps identify minor issues before they escalate, extending your roof’s lifespan and preventing costly repairs.

Our maintenance services include a full inspection, minor repairs, gutter cleaning, and recommendations for any necessary repairs.
