Roofing Materials
Honest guides to every covering and detailing material we use — costs, lifespans and local suitability.
Natural Slate
Welsh and Spanish slate — the heritage standard for Lancashire roofs, 80–120 year lifespan.
Concrete Tile
Interlocking concrete tiles — the workhorse of post-war Lancashire semis and estate housing.
Clay Tile
Traditional clay plain tiles and pantiles — handmade colour, 60+ year lifespan, used on period brick properties.
EPDM Rubber
Single-ply EPDM rubber membrane — the modern flat-roof standard, 25-year manufacturer warranty.
GRP Fibreglass
Glass-reinforced polyester — wet-laid fibreglass for complex flat roofs and rooftop balconies.
Lead Flashing
Code 4 and code 5 milled lead — the only material we use around chimneys, abutments and valleys.
