Tiled roofing
Traditional pitched tile roofs.
Concrete and clay tiles are the backbone of British roofing. Well specified and correctly installed, a tiled roof will comfortably outlast most of the people living under it.
Common tiled roof problems
- Individual slipped tiles from failed nail fixings
- Cracked tiles from foot traffic or frost damage
- Broken ridge or hip tiles after high winds
- Perished bedding mortar on ridges and verges
- Nail sickness on older nailed-only roofs
Materials we use
- Marley and Redland concrete tiles — full range of profiles
- Traditional clay pantiles and interlocking clay tiles
- Dry ridge and dry verge systems replacing bedded mortar
- Treated softwood battens to BS 5534
- High-performance breather membranes
Typical lifespan
A modern concrete tile roof: 40–60 years. Clay tiles and traditional pantiles: routinely 60–100 years, with the underlying felt often needing renewal first. On period properties in Wisbech and the surrounding villages, the tiles themselves are frequently reusable during a re-roof.
Traditional & Premium Slate Roofing
Slate roofing remains one of the most attractive and long-lasting roofing options available. Its timeless appearance and exceptional durability make it particularly popular for period properties, character homes and premium developments.
Our experienced roofers carry out slate roof installations, repairs and replacements using both natural and man-made slate products. We carefully match existing materials where possible to maintain the appearance and integrity of your property.
A professionally installed slate roof can provide decades of protection while significantly enhancing the appearance and value of your home.

Slate roofing
Natural slate — the longest-lived roof there is.
Slate has been used on British roofs for centuries because nothing else combines its lifespan, appearance and low maintenance. Perfect for period properties and any home where you want a roof that looks right for decades.
Common slate roof problems
- Nail sickness — slates slipping despite looking sound
- Broken slates from foot traffic, ladders or falling debris
- Failed lead soakers behind stepped flashings
- Perished mortar bedding on ridges and hips
- Delamination on cheaper man-made slates
Materials we use
- Spanish natural slate — the market standard for new work
- Welsh slate for period property restorations
- Cembrit fibre-cement slate for cost-sensitive projects
- Copper or stainless-steel slate hooks where appropriate
- Code 4 and Code 5 lead for all valleys and flashings
Typical lifespan
Natural Welsh or Spanish slate: 80–120+ years. Fibre-cement slate: 40–60 years. When a natural slate roof does need attention, individual slates can often be refixed rather than replaced, keeping the roof going indefinitely with light-touch maintenance.

Flat roofing
Modern flat roof systems that actually last.
The days of leaky three-layer felt roofs are behind us. Modern GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and high-performance torch-on systems give you 25–30+ years of reliable service on extensions, garages, dormers and commercial roofs.
Common flat roof problems
- Ponding water where falls have failed over time
- Splits and blisters in old felt coverings
- Failed upstands and junction details
- Blocked outlets causing overflow
- UV degradation on unprotected coverings
Materials we use
- GRP fibreglass — seamless, walkable, 25+ year lifespan
- Firestone RubberCover EPDM — single-piece membranes
- High-grade SBS torch-on felt for cost-sensitive jobs
- 18mm OSB or WBP ply decking depending on structure
- PIR insulation upgrades to meet current building regs
Typical lifespan
GRP fibreglass: 25–30+ years. EPDM rubber: 25–30+ years, often longer. Modern high-spec torch-on felt: 15–25 years depending on grade. Compare that to older 3-layer felt roofs, which typically failed at 10–15 years.
Maintenance advice
Modern flat roofs are essentially maintenance-free for the first two decades. Sensible annual checks: clear leaves and debris, check outlets are running, look for pooled water or obvious damage, and keep an eye on upstand details where the flat roof meets an adjoining wall.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which flat roof system is best — GRP, EPDM or felt?+
It depends on the roof. GRP fibreglass gives a seamless, durable finish and typically lasts 25+ years — ideal for extensions and dormers. EPDM rubber is a single-piece membrane that's brilliant for larger areas and awkward shapes. Torch-on felt is still a cost-effective choice for garages and outbuildings. We'll walk you through the pros and cons based on your specific roof and budget.
How long does a slate roof last?+
A properly installed natural slate roof will comfortably last 80 to 100+ years. The fixings and flashings usually need attention long before the slate itself does. Slate suits period properties beautifully and adds real value to a home.
What's the difference between concrete and clay tiles?+
Concrete tiles are hard-wearing, cost-effective and available in a huge range of colours and profiles — a great choice on most modern homes. Clay tiles (including traditional pantiles) have a warmer, more natural look, weather beautifully over time, and are often specified on period properties throughout the Fens.
Can you replace just part of a roof?+
Yes — partial re-roofs are common where damage is localised to one side or one section. We'll do our best to match the existing tiles in colour and profile, and blend the new work in neatly.
Do flat roofs need much maintenance?+
Modern GRP and EPDM flat roofs are essentially maintenance-free for the first two decades. A yearly visual check for pooled water, blocked outlets or debris is sensible — we're happy to do that as part of an inspection when we're passing.
Do you handle insulation and building regs?+
Yes. Any re-roof or new flat roof needs to meet current building regulations for insulation and ventilation. We factor that into the quote and can upgrade insulation as part of the works where required.
