How long does a new pitched roof take?

It depends on the size of the roof, access and the weather. We give you a clear programme with your quote, and larger schemes are programmed with the main contractor.

Do you work on listed buildings?

Yes. We use traditional methods and matching materials, and work with conservation officers and architects where consent is needed.

Can you add solar panels when you replace my roof?

Yes. As MCS-certified installers, we can fit in-roof or on-roof solar during the re-roof, with one set of scaffolding.

Do you work for developers and main contractors?

Yes. We deliver pitched roofing on development schemes of all sizes, managed by our own contracts managers.
