Roofing doneproperly

Most people ring a roofer because something has gone wrong. A stain on the bedroom ceiling, a slate in the garden after a windy night, or a gutter that has been overflowing down the same patch of wall for two years.
Repair, not replace
Most roofs we look at need a repair, not a new roof.
We will tell you which one you have, even when the smaller job is the answer.

Twelve things, and we do all of them ourselves
Rather than subbing them out. From a single slipped slate to stripping a roof back to the rafters and starting again.
- 01
Roof repairs
Leaks, slipped and broken slates, storm damage, failed flashing and cracked cement. Most roofs we look at need a repair rather than a replacement.
Read more - 02
Emergency roof repairs
Water coming in now. We make the roof safe and watertight first, then talk about the permanent fix once it is dry.
Read more - 03
Roof slating
Welsh blue slate and Yorkshire stone slate. Individual slates, patch areas, and full re-slates on the stone terraces round here.
Read more - 04
Roof tiling
Concrete and clay tiles. Re-bedding ridges, replacing cracked tiles, and full re-tiles on the post-war housing.
Read more - 05
Flat roofs
Extensions, dormers, garages and porches. Repairs where a repair will hold, replacement where it will not.
Read more - 06
GRP fibreglass roofing
A seamless fibreglass flat roof with no joints to fail. More expensive than felt, and considerably longer lasting.
Read more - 07
Flat to pitched roof conversions
If you are tired of patching the same flat roof every couple of years, this ends it.
Read more - 08
Leadwork
Flashings, valleys, box gutters and bay roofs, in properly dressed lead rather than cement or mastic.
Read more - 09
Pointing and repointing
Ridges, hips, verges and stonework. Failed pointing lets water in long before it starts to look bad.
Read more - 10
Guttering
Clearing, repairing and replacing gutters and downpipes. An overflowing gutter will damage a wall faster than most people expect.
Read more - 11
Fascias and soffits
Rotten timber replaced with low-maintenance uPVC, done neatly and with the site left tidy.
Read more - 12
Velux windows
Roof windows supplied and fitted, and flashed properly so they do not leak in three years.

A straight answer about what needs doing
Whatever it is, you will get a straight answer about what needs doing, what can wait, and what it will cost.

Twelve services, and we do all of them ourselves rather than subbing them out.
You get an actual answer
If your roof needs stripping, we will tell you. If it needs three slates and a bit of pointing, we will tell you that too, even though it is a smaller job. Plenty of roofs we look at do not need anything like what people fear.
We work on the roofs round here
Gritstone terraces under Welsh blue slate, Yorkshire stone slate up in Craven, concrete tile on the post-war estates. Different roofs, different problems, different fixes. A firm that only ever works on modern housing will struggle on a 140-year-old weaver’s cottage.
What actually happens when you ring
No salesmen, no survey fee, and no pressure at the end of it.
- Step 1
You ring and describe it
In your own words. A stain on the ceiling, a slate in the garden, a gutter that overflows. We will tell you what it sounds like before we come out.
- Step 2
We come and look properly
Rather than guessing from the ground. We take photographs of what we find, so you can see your own roof instead of taking our word for it.
- Step 3
You get it in writing
A written quote setting out what needs doing and what it costs. If part of it can wait, we will say so and price it separately, so you can decide.
- Step 4
We do the work and tidy up
The job done once, properly, with the site left as we found it. Twelve trades, all of them ours rather than subbed out.
Most people ringing us cannot name the problem
And there is no reason they should be able to. Describe what you can see, or send a photo, and we will tell you what it sounds like and roughly what it involves.
- Describe it in your own wordsA stain, a slate in the garden, a drip.
- Send a photoTaken safely from the ground is plenty.
- We tell you what it sounds likeBefore we come out, not after.
Two counties, most weeks
We are in Nelson, so Pendle is our own doorstep, but we are out across Lancashire and Craven most weeks.
If you are not sure whether you are in range, ring and ask. We would rather tell you honestly than have you wait in for a quote that was never coming.

What our customers say
Read the reviews, then ring us and see if we match up.
Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. The work was completed to a really high standard they were reliable, professional and tidy throughout. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and the finished roof looks fantastic. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, hardworking roofer. Thank you to Alex, Jeff, Ryan & Junior Kath & Eric at Number 6
Great job done by Alex, Jason and Alfie on our chimney stack and roof. They provide a very professional friendly, service and are a pleasure to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services. Thank you so much.
Excellent work done by a superb team. Alex, Geoff and Luke have done an incredible job on my roof and front of house. The roof no longer leaks (when living in Preston that's an important thing!) and the front of the house appearance has been transformed from an old tired look to a clean and more modern feel. They provide great advice, give you a quote detailing what they are going to do and then crack on and do a brilliant job…
Alex replaced our guttering, reset all the ridge tiles on the roof and capped the chimney properly. Alex and Luke were a breathe of fresh air to deal with. Alex was very friendly, he kept us informed of progress and what they were doing. He attended at the specified time and always kept everything clean and tidy. Quotes were accurate and were stuck to. Quality work throughout so if you want half a job doing don't call him. Personally I…
Alex and Geoff took great care inspecting the roof and deciding on a plan of action. Geoff and Luke worked seamlessly together to repair the numerous faults they discovered. They were cheerful and courteous at all times and were always ready to explain how the work was progressing and the issues they were dealing with as they arose. Jason and Alfie did a good job with the rendering. Photographs were provided, documenting their…
Alex and Luke have pointed our chimney and replaced pots. All the ridge tiles have been removed and replaced. Nothing has been too much trouble for these guys. We are more than happy with the end result. Totally reliable and trustworthy. Very friendly lads. I would 100% recommend their services.
Alex has just repaired chimney (putting right someone else’s bad work mainly) and ridge. Used Alex before after storm in 2022 brought guttering down on my 300 yr old cottage. Measured, made and fitted within about a week thankfully after months of others roofers either not showing or making out how difficult the job was
Very pleased indeed. Alex was responsive, helpful and, as chance would have it, was able to do the repair to the guttering at our daughter's bungalow, promptly. The charge was minimal for two tradesmen. Would certainly use again and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Alex and his team did a first class repair job on my roof. Excellent value for my money. Kept me informed at all stages of the job, clean and tidy on completion.
Alex replaced our leaking guttering. The guttering was measured, ordered and all replaced within a week! The job was done very professionally and at a great price! Great guys, who left the area spotless, when finished. Fantastic job! Great, honest, genuine tradesman. We would highly recommend to all!!!!!
We met Alex by chance one rainy afternoon on the local canal towpath. We were both sheltering from the rain under the same bridge. My husband and I had, earlier, been discussing our garage roof which was new a few years ago, but which had been leaking for some time. We think our chance meeting with Alex was meant to happen as, for some reason, I mentioned our leaky roof to him. We have always had difficultly finding reliable…
Excellent job, lovely people, very good roofers and sensible prices
