New Roofs & Re-RoofingNatural slate & tile, laid by hand
A roof is half covering, half detailing. We strip back, renew what's underneath and lay natural slate or tile with traditional detailing that keeps the character of your property and keeps the water out for decades.
Understanding new roofs & re-roofing
What it is
A full or partial new roof covering — strip the old covering, renew battens and breathable membrane, replace any rotten timber, then lay natural slate, clay or concrete tile with new lead flashings, ridges and verge details.
Who it's for
Homeowners with an end-of-life roof, period properties needing a slate roof laid properly, and anyone whose repairs keep coming back in the same spots.
When you need it
When tiles or slates are slipping and spalling, when the felt underneath has perished, when repairs keep recurring, or when you want a bay or extension roof finished to match the house.
Why it matters
Most roofs eventually leak at the lead — around chimneys, verges and abutments — where corners get cut. We dress lead on site, never re-use perished felt, and finish the detailing so it lasts.
How we deliver, step by step

We climb, look properly and photograph every elevation — covering, battens, timber and flashings.

Sign-off & tidy finish
A final walk-round with you, photos of the concealed work, and the site left cleaner than we found it.
A closer look
Natural slate roofing
Natural slate is the longest-lived covering you can specify — fixed correctly it lasts generations. We lay it on the right nails and dress the verges and details to suit the property, traditional or modern.
Clay & concrete tile
Clay and concrete tiles laid on treated battens over breathable membrane, gauged to the correct headlap — the cost-effective, hard-wearing choice for most Surrey homes.
Lead, ridge & verge detailing
Lead flashings dressed on site in the right code, lapped and sealed properly. Ridges and verges bedded or dry-fixed so they don't lift in a winter storm.
Bay & extension roofs
Bay roofs, porches and extension roofs finished to match the existing house — the part most people notice from the street, done right.
