The details that keep a roof watertight.
Most roof problems don't start with the tiles — they start with the details around them. Perished chimney pointing, tired lead flashings, blocked gutters, or a rotten fascia board can all let water in long before the tiles themselves need attention.

Chimney repairs
Keep your chimney weathertight for another century.
Chimneys sit in the most exposed position on the entire roof and take the worst of the wind, rain and freeze-thaw cycles. Ignoring problems doesn't make them cheaper — it makes them expensive.
Common chimney problems
- Crumbling mortar joints (repointing overdue)
- Cracked or lifted lead flashings around the base
- Damaged, missing or leaning chimney pots
- Perished flaunching around the pots
- Damp patches on chimney breasts inside the house
- Loose or spalled brickwork after frost damage
Signs your chimney needs work
- Bits of mortar in the gutter below the chimney
- Visible cracks in flashings from ground level
- Damp or staining on the chimney breast inside
- Chimney pot visibly leaning after a storm
- Dark staining down the brickwork below the flashings
Materials we use
- Code 4 and Code 5 lead for all flashings
- Traditional lime or hydraulic lime mortar for pointing
- Matched-brick specification on any brickwork replacement
- Frost-resistant terracotta or clay chimney pots
- Weathertight cowls and cappings where appropriate
Typical lifespan
Repointed brickwork: 30–50 years before it needs revisiting. New lead flashings: 60–100 years. New chimney pots and flaunching: 30+ years. Chimney rebuilds using matched brick: 100+ years given proper detailing.
Complete Roofline Protection
Your fascias, soffits and guttering play a vital role in protecting your property from water damage and maintaining proper roof ventilation.
We install and replace maintenance-free UPVC roofline systems that not only improve the appearance of your home but also help prevent damp, rot and structural issues.
Our roofline solutions are available in a range of styles and colours to complement your property while providing long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Fascias, soffits & gutters
A tidy roofline that shrugs off British weather.
Fascias, soffits and gutters are the frame around your roof — protecting the timbers behind, carrying water away, and giving the whole property a cared-for look. Modern uPVC systems are effectively fit-and-forget for decades.
Common roofline problems
- Rotten timber fascia boards behind old paintwork
- Sagging gutters from failed brackets or blocked outlets
- Split or dislodged downpipes
- Bird and pest ingress through gaps in soffits
- Overflow damage staining brickwork below eaves
Materials we use
- Full uPVC fascia, soffit and guttering systems
- Colour-matched to existing house style (white, black, anthracite, oak effect)
- Vented soffits to maintain proper loft ventilation
- Stainless steel fixings — never rust-prone alternatives
- Half-round, deep-flow or square line guttering to suit the property
Typical lifespan
A quality uPVC roofline replacement typically gives 30+ years of effectively maintenance-free service. Compare that to painted timber fascias, which need repainting every 4–6 years and can rot inside 15 if any water gets in.
Benefits of a full replacement
Replacing rotten timber fascias with uPVC eliminates repainting forever, protects the ends of the rafters underneath, and dramatically smartens the whole appearance of the property. New guttering fitted at the same time gets the falls right first time — often solving overflow issues that have been ongoing for years.
Restore & Protect Your Roof
Moss, algae and debris can significantly affect both the appearance and lifespan of your roof. Over time, moss retains moisture, potentially leading to damaged tiles, blocked gutters and unnecessary wear.
Our professional roof cleaning and moss removal services safely remove unwanted growth and help restore the appearance of your property.
We also offer preventative treatments designed to slow future regrowth and help maintain the condition of your roof for longer.

Moss removal & roof cleaning
Keep tiles clear, gutters flowing, kerb appeal up.
A light dusting of moss doesn't do much harm, but a heavy build-up traps moisture against tiles, blocks gutters, lifts ridge caps in freezing weather and knocks pounds off the perceived condition of the property.
Why moss becomes a problem
Moss and lichen love damp, north-facing tiles. Once established, they hold water against the surface of the tile long after rain has stopped, blocking the natural weathering of the roof and encouraging pointing and mortar to break down. In freezing conditions, water trapped in the moss expands and can lift tiles and ridge caps.
How we remove it safely
- Careful hand-scraping of moss from tile and slate roofs
- No high-pressure jet washing — it damages tile surfaces
- Full gutter clear-out included as standard
- Optional soft-wash biocide treatment to slow regrowth
- All debris removed and site left tidy
Benefits of professional cleaning
A properly cleaned roof looks decades younger — often the biggest single kerb-appeal upgrade a property can have. It also lets us spot small problems (cracked tiles, failed pointing, loose ridge tiles) that were hidden under the moss, so they can be sorted before they become leaks.
Maintenance advice
After cleaning, a light soft-wash biocide treatment every 3–5 years dramatically slows regrowth. Keeping surrounding trees trimmed back so more sunlight reaches the tiles helps too — moss struggles on well-lit, well-ventilated roofs.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?+
Common signs are crumbling mortar joints you can pick out with a screwdriver, damp patches on the chimney breast inside the house, staining down the brickwork outside, or bits of mortar in the gutter below. Left too long, water gets into the brickwork and can lead to frost damage and much bigger repair bills.
How long does lead flashing last?+
Properly installed Code 4 or Code 5 lead flashing should last 60+ years. Problems usually come from either poor original detailing or the flashing being cracked, lifted or working loose over time. We replace flashings using proper lead — never mastic or lead-look substitutes.
Can you replace fascias and gutters in one visit?+
Yes — most roofline replacements (fascias, soffits, guttering and downpipes) are done together as a single job. A full roofline in uPVC typically takes 1–3 days depending on the size of the property. You'll get a clean, low-maintenance finish that lasts decades.
Do you clear blocked gutters?+
Yes, gutter clearing is one of our regular jobs. Blocked gutters are one of the biggest causes of damp inside the house — water overflows down the wall and finds its way in around windows and door heads. An annual clear is well worth it, especially if you're near trees.
Is moss on my roof a problem?+
A light coating of moss won't do any harm, but a heavy build-up traps moisture against the tiles, blocks gutters, and in freezing weather can lift tiles as it expands. We remove moss safely from the roof, clear it out of the gutters, and can apply a soft-wash treatment to slow regrowth.
Can you take a chimney down?+
Yes — we handle chimney removals and re-cap the roof neatly with matched tiles and lead flashings, so you'd struggle to tell there was ever a chimney there. We can also remove just the stack above roof level and make the top weathertight if you want to keep the internal breast.
