FAQS

What is a roofing company?

This is a firm specialising in installing, repairing, replacing and maintaining commercial and residential roofs.

Our company covers comprehensive roofing services, from structural timber framing to installing modern waterproofing and insulation systems to protect buildings from water damage, leaks and harsh weather conditions across Surbiton, Richmond, Epsom and the surrounding areas. We make complex tasks like structural calculations and working at height simple.

What is the lifespan of torch-on felt?

Typically, a professionally installed torch-on felt system lasts 15-25 years. 

This depends on the quality of membranes used and the harshness of local weather. With regular maintenance and opting for a multi-layer system, the lifespan will be significantly improved. This is one of the most reliable and cost-effective roofing solutions, perfect for flat roof extensions, garages, and commercial outbuildings. Using premium materials and proper tools, you can trust our installations to stand the test of time.

What is the meaning of leadwork?

Leadwork refers to lead sheeting lining the joints of roofs to weatherproof vulnerable junctions, such as roof valleys, chimneys, and dormers. 

Due to its high malleability and durability, our roofer can form the material into custom flashings and gutters that are able to expand and contract in a variety of temperatures and weather conditions without cracking for many years. It is an essential component in both modern and traditional roofs, protecting your system from water ingress where it is most likely to occur.

How much does a full new roof cost?

The cost of your system depends on several factors, including the size of your property, the complexity of the design, and the materials chosen. 

Natural slate and complex scaffolding can push this to the higher end, although our team offers a variety of options to suit a full range of budgets for commercial and domestic properties. The value of your investment depends on four major factors:

  • Property Size
  • Material Quality
  • Access Requirements
  • Structural Repairs

What is a pitched roof?

Pitched systems are recognisable by their traditional structure, featuring slopes and angles exceeding 10 degrees which meet at the central ridge.

This option is the most popular for residential properties as it allows for an easy and natural way for snow and rainwater to drain away, whilst leaving space for all the necessary insulation and breathable membranes underneath.
