Full re-roofs
Asphalt, metal, slate, tile. Single + multi-layer tear-offs. 1–2 day jobs.
Repairs
Leaks, flashing, vent stacks, valleys. Most repairs same-day.
Prices
Repairs by the job, roofs by the square
Roofing is priced per square — 100 square feet of finished roof. These are the bands our written quotes land in, published so you can hold every quote you get, ours included, up against them.

Indicative only — not a quote. Pitch, height, access and how much decking is rotten under the old roof all move the number. That is why the inspection comes first and the price in writing after it.
Paying for it
You do not have to pay for a roof all at once
Three ways people pay for the work we do. Which of them we can offer you depends on the lender, not on us — ask when the quote lands and the options come with it.
On completion
On the day · No finance
Nothing up front. Repairs are invoiced when the job is done; on a re-roof the balance falls due once the last course is on and you have walked it with us.
We do not take deposits before materials are ordered, and never in cash at the door.
Insurance settlement
Claim timeline · Not credit
Storm work is usually paid by your insurer directly against the approved scope, and your out-of-pocket is the deductible you already agreed with them.
What is approved is your insurer's decision. We document the damage and meet the adjuster on the roof.
Monthly finance
Terms vary by lender · Set by your lender
Spread over a fixed term through a third-party lender. Common on full re-roofs, where the roof outlasts the repayments by a couple of decades.
Subject to status. We introduce you; we are not the lender and we are not paid to steer you.
We publish no monthly figure, because nobody can honestly know yours until the lender has run its checks. What you should see in writing before you agree to anything: the amount borrowed, the term, the monthly payment and the total repayable. Ask for those four beside the cash price.
Finance is provided by a third-party lender, not by us, and is subject to status and affordability checks. We are not a lender and we do not give credit advice. All figures shown are examples — your lender confirms the rate, the term and the total you repay before you agree to anything.
What people say to us
The four sentences we hear on the doorstep
- Someone knocked after the storm and said my roof is destroyed.
- Maybe it is. But nobody should be on your roof, or in your insurance paperwork, before you have a written condition report with photographs in your own hands. Get one from us or from anyone — then decide. Storm-chasers work on the assumption that you will not ask for it.Written report, photos, free
- I got three quotes and they are thousands apart.
- Almost always because they are not quoting the same job. Ask each one how many squares they measured, whether the price includes a full tear-off or a layer-over, how many sheets of decking are allowed for, and what happens if more is rotten. Two of the three usually go quiet at question two.Squares + tear-off on our quote
- I think you will talk me into a whole new roof.
- We have talked plenty of people out of one. Wind damage is often a few dozen shingles and a run of flashing, and a fifteen-year-old roof with one bad valley is a repair. You get the photographs of what we actually found, and the repair number sits on the quote next to the replacement number.Both numbers, side by side
- What if it rains when the roof is half off?
- We tear off only what we can dry in and cover the same day, we watch the forecast before we schedule rather than after, and any job that runs over a night is tarped and weighted before the crew leaves. If the weather turns mid-job, the roof gets sealed and we come back.Tarped and secured nightly
Something else on your mind? Say it on the phone — a roofer answers, and the awkward questions are the ones worth asking.
Leave a number and a roofer calls you back the same working day — the same day after a storm, not the next one.
Mon–Sat, 7am–5pm. Storm make-safe is answered outside those hours.

Insurance claim process
Free inspection
We walk the roof, document everything, write up the damage with photos.
File the claim
We meet your adjuster on-site, present the documentation, advocate for full coverage.
Repair / replace
Work begins as soon as the claim approves. On an approved claim your out-of-pocket is normally just the deductible.

What the work actually looked like
Same three questions on each: what we found, what it took, what it came to.
Old Town · Full re-roof
Victorian tear-off, and six sheets of decking nobody had quoted for
Two-layer asphalt over a 1904 roof, both layers off to the deck. Six sheets underneath had gone soft around a valley that had been leaking quietly for years — photographed, shown to the owner, re-quoted the same morning before a single new sheet went down. The other two quotes on this house had no decking allowance in them at all.

Hillside · Storm repair
Wind damage that was a repair, not a re-roof
Forty-one shingles off the windward slope and a run of ridge lifted. The insurer had been told the roof was a total loss by a company that knocked the day after the storm. We measured it, photographed it, and repaired the slope in an afternoon — the roof had a decade left in it.

Brookmere · Pre-purchase inspection
The inspection where we told them not to buy a roof
Buyer wanted a re-roof priced into the offer on a house they had not closed on yet. Harnessed up, walked every slope, checked the flashings and the attic side of the deck. Fifteen-year-old architectural shingle with granule left and clean penetrations: five or six years of life, one flashing detail to watch. Report issued, nothing sold, and they have called us twice since about other houses.

Paperwork
What to ask for before anyone climbs a ladder
Four documents worth seeing. Any roofer can produce them in a minute; the ones who cannot are telling you something.
Contractor licence for roofing work
Ask for the number and check it with the issuing authority yourself — it takes about a minute online.
Public liability insurance
Ask for the certificate of currency, not a policy number. Check the dates and the sum insured.
Workers compensation cover
This is the one people forget. Without it, an injury on your roof can become your problem.
Working-at-height and fall-arrest training
Current, and held by the people actually on the roof rather than by the person who quoted the job.
Replace each of these with a credential you actually hold, and add the issuing body and registration number so a visitor can check it.
Our promise
What you actually get in writing
Every roof we finish comes with a written workmanship warranty and the manufacturer warranty on the materials registered in your name — and if it leaks where we worked, we come back.
- Photo documentation before, during and after
- We meet your adjuster on the roof, not on the phone
- Site tarped and secured every night a job runs over
- Magnet sweep for nails before we leave the driveway
Warranty length and exclusions are set out in your contract — read them before you sign, with us or with anyone. Insurance outcomes are decided by your insurer, not by us; what we commit to is documenting the damage properly and advocating for full coverage.
The warranty
What is covered, what is not, and how to claim
Printed in full rather than alluded to. The terms that bind are the ones on the contract you sign — this is the shape they take.
In writing, on your contract
| What we did | What is covered | Where the term is set |
|---|---|---|
| Workmanship | Everything we installed, against installation defect — fixings, underlay, courses, the lot. If it leaks where we worked, we come back. | Your contract |
| Roof covering | Shingle, tile or sheet failure that is the material's fault rather than the weather's. Registered in your name on the day we finish. | Manufacturer's own |
| Flashings + penetrations | Chimney, wall, vent and skylight details we formed or replaced, including the seals around them. | Your contract |
| Gutters + downpipes | Seams, brackets and falls on guttering we fitted. | Your contract |
| Storm make-safe | Tarping and temporary cover we install, until the permanent repair is done. | Until the repair |
Not covered
- A fresh storm after we finished — that is a new claim, not a warranty call.
- Work by another trade on or through the roof after handover.
- Parts of the roof we quoted for and were asked to leave.
- Blocked gutters, moss and debris on a roof that has not been cleared.
- Movement in the building structure underneath the roof.
How to claim
Call and send photos
Any hour. Shots from the ground are enough to start — do not climb up to get a better one.
We inspect, free
Within two working days, and we tell you plainly whether it is warranty or a new event.
We put it right
If it is our workmanship, we come back at no charge and confirm what was done in writing.
Cover starts the day we hand over. Length, and whether it transfers with the house, differ by contractor — the column above says where each term is set, and yours belongs on your contract, not on a web page.

04Straight answers
Before you call
Is the inspection really free?+
Yes — we walk the roof, photograph everything, and give you a written condition report at no cost or obligation.
Will you deal with my insurer?+
End-to-end. We document the damage, meet the adjuster on-site, and advocate for full coverage. You pay only your deductible.
How long does a re-roof take?+
Most single-family homes are torn off and re-roofed in 1–2 days, weather permitting. We tarp and secure overnight if a job spans days.
What warranty do I get?+
A written workmanship warranty on every full re-roof — its length and exclusions are on the contract before you sign — plus the manufacturer warranty on the materials, registered in your name so it actually applies.
Do you do commercial flat roofs?+
Yes — TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen, with maintenance plans and emergency response for property managers.
Do I really need a whole new roof?+
Often not. Wind damage is frequently a few dozen shingles and a run of flashing, and a fifteen-year-old roof with one bad valley is a repair, not a replacement. We photograph what we find and show you, and we have talked plenty of people out of a re-roof they were ready to buy.
What does "you pay only your deductible" actually mean?+
On a claim your insurer approves, the settlement covers the approved scope and your out-of-pocket is normally the deductible you already agreed with them. What is approved is your insurer's decision, not ours — anyone promising to make your deductible disappear is describing insurance fraud.
How soon after a storm should I call?+
Within a few days for the inspection, because most policies have a reporting window and because tarping early limits the interior damage. Do not let a door-knocker onto the roof before you have the inspection in writing.
Will you tear off the old roof or go over it?+
Tear-off, unless there is a genuine reason not to. A second layer traps heat, hides rotten decking and halves the life of the new roof — it is cheaper on the day and more expensive over the decade.
