Roof systems
From a full re-roof on the house to turning a freezing conservatory into a room you can use in January.
What we do
We cover the full range of roofing work: replacing the main roof on the house, tiled warm roofs over conservatories and orangeries, solid and hybrid systems, and glazed additions like lanterns and flat rooflights.
Not sure which way to go? Read our guide: Roof lanterns vs flat rooflights: which should you fit?
Scaffolding and equipment are included in the price we quote — not added afterwards. Insulation is included in our roofing costs too, which is the part that actually makes the difference to whether a conservatory is usable all year.

Can you replace a conservatory roof without rebuilding the whole thing?
Usually yes. Most conservatory frames and bases will take a tiled warm roof or a solid roof system, and we'll check the existing structure at survey before recommending anything. Where the base or frames aren't up to it, we'll tell you.
Will a warm roof stop the conservatory being freezing?
That's the main reason people do it. Insulation is included in our roofing costs, and it's the insulation rather than the tiles that turns a conservatory into a room you can use in winter.
Is scaffolding extra?
No. All scaffolding and equipment is included in the price we quote.
What guarantees do you offer?
All our windows and doors come with a comprehensive 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, so the cover outlasts the invoice. Roofing and building work carries its own guarantee, and ProPERLA coatings come with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee on top of ours.
Do you really do all of this yourselves?
Yes. Windows, doors, roofing, building work, electrics and coatings are all our own teams. That's the point of the business — one contract and one point of contact, rather than you co-ordinating five firms and absorbing the gaps between them.
How long does a full house of windows take?
It depends on the number and style, but as a rule a whole house of eight to ten windows is fitted in one to two days. We survey first and manufacture every frame to the exact size of the opening, which keeps time on site down.
How long does a new front door take?
Normally we take the old door out and fit the new one the same day. We'd confirm that at the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
While we’re there
Because it's all one firm, these tend to get done on the same visit rather than becoming another job to arrange.
What we fit, and who stands behind it
We install established window, door and roof systems rather than unbranded profile, and our installations are covered by an Assure-certified insurance-backed guarantee.
