feedback
The company operates with £10 Million Public Liability Insurance to cover high value projects as well as any smaller residential restoration works we carry out.
The cost depends on property size, materials, and complexity. We provide a detailed quote after a full NW5 site inspection.
Most roof installations take 1 to 3 weeks depending on size, weather conditions, and materials used.
Slate and clay tiles are ideal for period homes, while GRP fibreglass and EPDM systems suit modern flat roofs and extensions.
Like-for-like replacements usually don’t require permission, but listed buildings or conservation areas in NW5 may need approval.
If you notice leaks, missing tiles, or ageing materials, a full replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
