Tonight · heavy rainHemel Hempstead & west Herts
Roofs that outlast the weather.
Slate, tile and lead repairs, chimneys and flashings, done properly the first time. Look up in the rain and you will know why we are called.
Most leaks start small: a slipped slate, a tired flashing, a chimney that has stopped keeping its promises. We find the small thing before it becomes the ceiling.
What we do
Four things, done by the same crew from first look to last photograph. No sub-contracting the part that matters.
Slate & tile re‑roofing
Natural Welsh and Spanish slate, plain and interlocking tiles. Stripped, re-battened, breathable membrane, laid to last sixty years.
Lead work & flashings
Code 4 to code 6 lead, bossed and dressed by hand: chimney soakers, valleys, abutments and bay roofs.
Chimneys & repointing
Repointing, pots and flaunching, cappings and take-downs. The stack is where most old roofs fail first.
Storm call-outs
Water coming in tonight? We make it safe the same day with a proper temporary cover, then repair when it is dry.

1
Look from above
We go up, not just round the garden with binoculars. Every slate, soaker and ridge gets photographed and numbered.
2
Prove the leak
A hose, a torch in the loft and a damp meter. We trace the water to its door before we price anything.
3
Quote in writing
One fixed price, the photographs beside each line. If we find more once the roof is open, we stop and ask.
4
Leave it better
Gutters cleared, site swept, before and after photographs sent, guarantee in your inbox the same evening.
Recent repairs
Wet-weather jobs on purpose: the best time to prove a roof is while it is raining.
Chimney soakers
Hand-dressed code 4 lead on a Victorian stack that had leaked for six winters.
Storm call-out
Tiles lost in a gale, cover on by dusk, permanent repair the following Tuesday.
