New Main Roof, Lower Roofs and Velux Window
A completed re-roof of a Formby semi: the main roof and the lower roofs over the front of the house both re-covered, with a new Velux roof window fitted into the main roof.
Pre-Purchase Roof Survey — £8,000 Off the Sale Price
A buyer asked us to survey an older rendered semi in Maghull before completion. We recorded 14 findings across the main roof, chimneys, canopy, gutters, loft and extension — including missing tiles on a roof with no underlay, failed chimney and extension leadwork, and blocked drainage causing internal water ingress. 24 photographs, a prioritised costed repair schedule, and the buyer negotiated £8,000 off the price.
New EPDM Rubber Garage Roof
A full garage roof replacement in Crosby — the old covering stripped and the roof re-covered in a single-piece EPDM rubber membrane with new edge trims. One clean, seamless sheet with no joints to fail, and a life expectancy of 50 years or more.
Pre-Purchase Roof Survey — £6,000 Off the Sale Price
A buyer asked us to survey a Victorian terrace before exchange. We found felt strips where bonding gutters should be at both party walls, an under-resined GRP bay roof that was leaking, failed mortar along the whole ridge, slipped tiles and a chimney needing repointing and new flaunching. Nine photographs, six recommendations, and the buyer negotiated £6,000 off the price.
Bungalow Roof Replacement
A full re-roof on a detached bungalow in Formby: old tiles and underlay stripped, timbers checked, new breathable underlay and treated battens, then re-covered in a grey concrete interlocking tile with dry-fix ridge and verge throughout. The low pitch and wide span are typical of Formby’s 1960s bungalows, and the roof is now specified for the coastal exposure that shortened the life of the original.
GRP Warm Roof with New Roof Lantern
A fully insulated GRP fibreglass warm roof, fitted with a new aluminium roof lantern to keep the natural light while gaining proper insulation and weathertightness.
Conservatory Roof Conversion
A full conservatory roof conversion — the old glass roof replaced with a solid, insulated tiled roof, finished to match the existing house roof.
New Chimney Flaunching
New flaunching around the chimney pots, using a grit-based mortar mix for a durable, weatherproof seal at the chimney stack.
GRP Dormer Roof
New fibreglass GRP dormer roof, freshly laid and tied in below the main roof ridge. A seamless, durable flat roof finish for the dormer.
New Roof Installation
A full new roof completed on a Southport bungalow, finished throughout in dark grey interlocking tiles.
New Roof Installation, Dry Ridge System
A full new roof finished with a dry ridge system — ridge tiles mechanically clipped and fixed rather than bedded in mortar, for a more durable, weatherproof finish.
New Roof Installation
A full new roof completed in Formby, slate-effect tiles throughout with a rebuilt chimney stack.
New uPVC Dry Verge
A mechanically fixed uPVC dry verge system fitted along the gable edge as part of a re-roof — a weatherproof alternative to traditional mortar-bedded verge tiles that doesn't rely on mortar staying sound for decades.
Ridge Re-Bedding & Re-Pointing
Ridge tiles removed, all old mortar stripped back to sound roof, then re-bedded and re-pointed. Ridge re-bedding is the single most common repair job we carry out — coastal salt air and freeze-thaw cycling mean mortar on Crosby roofs fails faster than inland.
New Roof & Chimney Flashings
A full new roof in concrete interlocking tile, finished with new lead flashings around the chimney stack. Straightforward job, done properly — correct detailing at the chimney junction is where most flashing failures start, so we take our time there.
Felt Roof Re-Pitch & Warm Roof Upgrade
Old flat roof sections re-pitched and re-boarded, upgraded to a full warm roof specification — new 18mm ply deck, vapour control layer, 150mm PIR insulation, vapour dispersion layer and torch-on cap sheet, finished to the same spec throughout.
Cold Roof to Warm Roof Upgrade
A flat roof extension taken back to a new 18mm ply deck and rebuilt as a proper warm roof — vapour control layer, 150mm PIR insulation, vapour dispersion layer and a torch-on cap sheet above it, insulation sitting entirely above the structural deck.
