[Request A Survey](/contact) [01202 012290](tel:+441202012290) Qualified · Firequal Qualified · BS 8214 Compliant · Bournemouth-Based One accountable team on every job Prompt response across all postcodes we cover RAMS supplied up front Resident-aware delivery on every job Service Overview ## Roofing: The Brief, In Plain English. ### What It Is Roof repair and renewal: pitched tile and slate replacement, ridge and valley re-bedding, flat-roof patch and full overlay (felt, EPDM, single-ply), leak diagnostics, gutter clearance and lining, fascia and soffit replacement, lead flashing renewal and chimney repair. ### Who It's For Managing agents and freeholders responsible for block roofs, commercial landlords on flat-roof commercial premises, private homeowners and landlords across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire. ### When You Need It After active water ingress, on annual gutter clearance cycles, after storm damage, on planned roof renewal programmes, and after intrusive survey identifying defects that haven't yet failed but will. ### Why It Matters Coastal weather on the Dorset coast wears roofs faster than inland equivalents: salt-laden onshore wind degrades mortar, valleys hold debris, and flat roofs collect ponding water at parapets. Maintained on cycle, a pitched roof should run 50-70 years; ignored, it fails at 30. What Happens If You Wait ## The Cost Of Doing Nothing. Water ingress is rarely from where the stain appears. The stain is downstream; the leak is upstream. Most failed roofing jobs we're called to inherit were either misdiagnosed or treated symptomatically. Get the diagnosis right and the fix is usually simpler, and cheaper, than the previous contractor's quote. ### Risks Of Ignoring It - → Internal damage spiral: plaster, then joinery, then decoration, then electrical. - → Insurance claim repudiation where maintenance history can't be evidenced. - → Roof asset life cut by 30-40% through deferred maintenance. - → Compartmentation breach at roof-void party walls, a common defect during re-roofs. - → Resident habitability claims under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act. ### Common Mistakes Customers Make - × Patching the symptom (the stain area) without chasing the leak path. - × Treating mortar verge failure with mastic: buys 6 months, then re-fails. - × Skipping gutter clearance: overflow blows back under the eaves and rots fascia internally. - × Pricing a flat-roof renewal without lifting the existing layer: finds the rotten deck only after start. - × Re-roof without addressing party-wall extension in the roof void: compartmentation breach left in place. Our Process ## First Call To Final Sign-Off. 01 ### Inspection Site visit at an agreed access window: measurements, photographs, scope and constraints recorded against your reference. 02 ### Diagnosis Findings written up against the standard, BS or building safety case clause they relate to, with severity and priority assigned. 03 ### Proposal Itemised quote, programme, RAMS and product/competency evidence: sent to the distribution list you nominate. 04 ### Works On Site Tidy, resident-aware delivery. Dust control, drop sheets, daily clear-up and notified working hours. One named lead on site. 05 ### Sign-Off & Handover Photographic completion pack, certificates and product traceability documents supplied for your file. Why It's Worth It ## What You Actually Get. ### Prompt Active Ingress Response Active water ingress attended promptly during working hours across all the postcodes we cover: temporary make-safe first, full diagnosis to follow. ### Safer Working At Height Mobile tower or scaffold for any work over 2m. No ladder work on prolonged scope, no compromise on working-at-height regs. ### Longer Roof Asset Life Properly maintained pitched roofs running 50-70 year cycles; flat roofs 20-25 years with planned overlay rather than panic renewal. ### Right-Diagnosis Cost Saving Most leak repairs land under £400 once correctly diagnosed: versus four-figure speculative re-roofs that didn't fix it. ### Reliable Storm Response Storm-damage response within 24 hours, including temporary tarp-and-secure ahead of full repair. ### Peace Of Mind On Insurance Maintenance records and photographic completion packs supplied: evidencing the duty of care your insurer expects.

Working across Bournemouth · Poole · Christchurch · Wimborne Minster · Ferndown · Blandford Forum · Dorchester [Full Service Area Map](/service-areas) ### Pitched roof: tile and slate Concrete and clay tile replacement (Marley, Redland, Sandtoft), natural and fibre-cement slate. Single-tile slip repair, ridge and hip re-bedding (cement or dry-fix), valley re-leading and verge re-pointing. ### Flat roof: felt, EPDM, single-ply Reinforced bitumen felt repair and overlay, EPDM (Firestone, Hertalan) full-roof and patch, single-ply (PVC, TPO) on commercial premises. Deck condition lifted-and-inspected before full overlay is quoted. ### Lead flashing & soakers Chimney, abutment and parapet lead: code 4 and code 5 depending on detail. Replacement of failed historic flashings, including chasing in to new wedges and pointing. ### Gutters, fascias and soffits uPVC gutter and downpipe replacement, cast-iron repair and lining, fascia and soffit replacement with ventilated detail. Gutter clearance on annual cycle. ### Leak diagnostics Smoke test and dye test where access permits, visual inspection of likely leak paths (valley, abutment, slipped tile, mortar fillet, soaker), and where appropriate moisture mapping inside the room below. ### Chimney repair Re-pointing, cap and flaunching renewal, removal where redundant (with party-wall agreement where required), pot replacement and cowl install. ### Compartmentation considerations on re-roof Roof-void party-wall extensions checked at every re-roof. Where the wall doesn't extend to the underside of the covering, fire-stopped during the works rather than left as a defect. Questions ## Straight Answers.
