Commercial Scaffolding
The most common warning signs include multiple leaks, sagging or uneven areas, missing, cracked or slipped tiles/slates, excessive moss or algae growth, and daylight visible in the loft. If your roof is over 20–30 years old (depending on the material) and you’ve already had several repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continuing to patch it. A full replacement also delivers better insulation, improved kerb appeal, lower energy bills, and a brand-new manufacturer warranty. Our team always carries out a thorough inspection (including drone survey where helpful) before recommending replacement.
A partial replacement makes excellent sense when damage is localised — for example, storm damage to one slope, issues around a chimney or valley, or a section that has reached the end of its life while the rest of the roof is still sound. It’s significantly cheaper and less disruptive than a full replacement. However, it only works if the remaining roof has plenty of life left. We always inspect the entire roof first to ensure a partial repair won’t leave you with problems in other areas in the near future.
Commercial roofs are often flat or low-pitched and require specialist single-ply membranes (TPO, EPDM or PVC) or modified bitumen systems. Key considerations include minimising business disruption (we can phase works or work outside trading hours), achieving excellent waterproofing, improving energy efficiency with cool-roof technology, and complying with building regulations. Many commercial clients also take the opportunity to upgrade insulation or integrate solar. We provide detailed method statements, risk assessments and project programmes so you know exactly what to expect.
Conservatory roofs are notorious for leaks, condensation and heat loss. Modern replacement options include:
We can also add insulation, new guttering and ventilation. Most homeowners notice dramatically lower heating bills and finally get to use their conservatory all year round after replacement.
Garage roofs are often flat or very low-pitched, making them prone to ponding water and moss. Popular modern solutions include seamless GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), EPDM rubber or high-quality felt systems. Many customers also choose to convert a flat garage roof to a pitched tiled roof to match the house and improve longevity. Because garages are usually smaller and simpler structures, the work is often quicker and more affordable — but we still check the structural integrity of the walls and ensure proper drainage and ventilation.
We look at the age of the roof, the percentage of the roof affected, the condition of the underlayment/felt, and whether the damage is isolated or systemic. If more than about 30% of the roof needs attention, or if the underlayment has failed, replacement is normally the smarter long-term investment. For isolated issues (a few slipped tiles, a small flashing problem, or one leak), targeted repair is usually sufficient. We always explain the pros, cons and likely future costs so you can make an informed decision.
Moss, lichen and algae hold moisture against the roof, accelerate tile degradation, block gutters and can cause internal leaks. Professional soft washing (low-pressure chemical treatment) kills growth at the root without damaging the roof surface — unlike high-pressure washing, which can strip protective coatings. Regular cleaning (typically every 3–5 years) extends the life of your roof, improves appearance and prevents costly repairs. We also apply a long-lasting inhibitor to slow regrowth.
True emergencies (storm damage, major leaks, fallen trees or tiles) require fast action. We offer emergency response. On arrival we make the roof safe and weatherproof (usually with heavy-duty tarpaulins), stop water entering your home, and document everything for your insurance claim. Once the immediate threat is contained, we schedule a permanent repair at a convenient time. Our priority is always to protect your property and minimise further damage.
The main variables are property size, roof complexity (number of valleys, chimneys, dormers), choice of materials (concrete tiles, natural slate, clay, or flat-roof membranes), access requirements, and whether additional work such as new insulation, ventilation or fascia replacement is needed. We provide free, no-obligation inspections and transparent, itemised quotations. Many customers are surprised how competitive a quality replacement can be when spread over the long lifespan of a new roof.
Longevity depends on the material and quality of installation:
We supply manufacturer warranties on materials (often 10–40 years) plus our own workmanship guarantee (typically 5–10 years or more). With regular inspections and cleaning, your new roof should give you decades of trouble-free service.
