Roofing is never one-size-fits-all. Each location brings its own challenges, whether that’s London’s conservation restrictions, coastal weather in Kent, or the heritage estates of Surrey and West Sussex. Knowing how to navigate local planning rules, material availability, and regional weather cycles is what sets us apart. Our team’s knowledge of local building traditions and regulations ensures every project is both practical and fully compliant.
We also understand the requirements of secure and public sites. With enhanced vetting, DBS checks, and specialist clearances, our roofers are trusted to work on police stations, prisons, hospitals, and schools across the region. This local familiarity means smoother processes, fewer delays, and results you can trust.
London presents a unique mix of old and new. From listed Georgian terraces to cutting-edge commercial developments, projects often involve complex access, stringent regulations, and heritage oversight. Our expertise in leadwork, slate, and conservation roofing makes us a trusted partner for work across the capital. We have extensive experience liaising with local authorities to ensure compliance in conservation areas, while also delivering modern systems for schools, offices, and healthcare facilities.
Known as the Garden of England, Kent faces coastal exposure and heavy seasonal rainfall, both of which can accelerate roofing wear. We provide weather-resistant flat and pitched roofing systems that withstand the elements while meeting Part L energy efficiency standards. From heritage cottages to large new developments, our work in Kent balances tradition with resilience. Schools, healthcare facilities, and residential estates have all benefited from our adaptable roofing solutions.
Surrey’s landscape combines high-end residential properties with expansive countryside estates and business parks. Clients in this region value discretion, premium finishes, and durability. Whether installing handmade clay tiles on listed properties or fitting modern felt and liquid systems on large commercial premises, our team brings precision and care. Surrey is also home to several conservation areas, and our work consistently meets the exacting standards required for planning consent.
In West Sussex, heritage roofing and rural building preservation are at the forefront. From historic barns to public sector facilities, our experience with Welsh slate, ALM lead, and handmade tiles ensures sensitive, compliant results. We are regularly called on to restore roofs in conservation zones while strengthening them for modern weatherproofing needs. Industrial clients also rely on us for robust systems capable of handling large spans and integrated ventilation.
Berkshire blends suburban housing, heritage towns, and thriving commercial hubs. Here we provide solutions ranging from residential roof repairs to liquid-applied flat roofing systems for schools and retail centres. With a strong understanding of local planning frameworks, we are well-positioned to handle both everyday roofing needs and specialist projects requiring heritage accuracy or large-scale commercial expertise.
