Can you work on my roof while the unit stays open?

Usually, by phasing it. Tell us your access rules and trading hours when you ring and we will price it around them.

Do I need scaffolding?

Depends on the height and what we are doing. If it is needed it goes on the quote as its own line so you can see what it costs.

Can you match old slates or tiles?

Often, with reclaimed stock. Send a photo when you enquire and we will tell you what is realistic before anyone comes out.

Is a repair worth it, or should I re-roof?

We will tell you which we would do and why. Sometimes a repair buys you five years, sometimes it is money down the drain, and we would rather say so.

Roofing services in Neath, done the way we would want our own house done.

Flat and pitched, rubber and metal, repair and full re-roof. Commercial units and houses across Neath, Port Talbot and Swansea get the same two roofers and the same written price.

Houses and extensionsStrip and re-roof, flat roofs over extensions, garage and porch roofs, dormers.
Living with itScaffold up and down, skip on the drive, and the garden left as we found it.
Leaks firstIf water is coming in we will make it safe, then talk about the proper repair.

Flat roofing that is laid to fall, not patched again.

Most flat roofs we are called to in Neath and Swansea have been patched three times before we get there. We take it back, sort the falls and the deck, then lay a system that suits the building instead of whatever was on the van.

Warm deck or cold deck, decided on site and explained on the quote.
Upstands, trims and outlets done properly, which is where flat roofs actually fail.
Insulation upgraded while it is open, if it is worth doing.

Commercial and domestic
Warm or cold deck

Commercial flat roof installation on an industrial unit in Neath

EPDM rubber roofing is what we are known for.

One sheet of rubber, cut to your roof, bonded down. On most domestic flat roofs that means no seams across the middle and no torch anywhere near your fascia boards. We fit EPDM roofs across Neath, Port Talbot and Swansea.

Single sheet on most domestic roofs, so nothing to unzip in a gale.
Cold applied, no naked flame on the building.
Repairable in place if something ever puts a hole through it.

Torch free
Single sheet

The rest of what we take on.

Pitched roofs
Strip, re-felt, batten and re-cover. Timbers, valleys and chimney flashings checked while the roof is open, because that is the only sensible time to look.
- Re-roof
- Timber checks
Roof tiling
Roof tiling in slate and concrete, new or reclaimed to match what is already up there on Neath and valley houses. Ridges and verges bedded or dry fixed, your choice once we have talked it through.
- Slate
- Concrete tile
Metal roofing
Sheet and standing seam metal roofing for units, workshops and farm buildings across South Wales. Fixings, laps and flashings are where these leak, so that is where the time goes.
- Commercial
- Standing seam
Rooflight renewal
Brittle sheets and yellowed domes taken out and replaced. On commercial roofs old rooflights are a safety problem as much as a leak, so they get treated as one.
- Units
- Safety first
Flat to pitched conversions
If a flat roof keeps failing, a pitch and a tiled finish can end the argument. Timbers built off the existing walls, tiles matched to the house.
- Carpentry led
- Tiled finish
Roof repairs
Roof repairs across Neath, Port Talbot and Swansea. Leaks, slipped slates, flashings, valleys and blocked outlets. Emergency call-outs available, and we will tell you on the phone whether it needs us today or next week.

Three flat roof systems, side by side.

Material facts, not a sales pitch. Which one we recommend depends on the roof, the access and what is underneath it.
