Roofing

Our roofing services include repairs, replacements, and installations of various roof types. With a focus on durability and aesthetics, we ensure your roof is in top condition.

Slating & Tiling

SLATING

We in Scotland are blessed with a beautiful heritage in the Built Environment, and one such aspect of this is the use of the naturally dense Scotch slate, so abundantly evident in this part of the country.

Another option to transform a building’s appearance at a less time consuming (therefore less expensive) rate is the introduction in recent years of machine-cut Spanish slate.

Comprehensive repair service to protect your roof, whichever material it’s made from, all year round!!

Scotch slating- Up-keeping the impeccable built heritage of traditional Scoth slating using diminishing courses, we have undertaken several re-roofs using Scotch, along with decades of previous experience.

Spanish slating- Re-roofing using high-quality uniformed sized imported slates can reduce costs on home-owners protecting their prized possession

Emergency repairs

Repairs & maintenance- We adhere to the principle that proactive maintenance of a building greatly reduces any unforeseen requirements for large-scale restoration works in the future. Our team are qualified in giving honest, professional building evaluations.

Tiled roofs

Lime pointing/Exterior Maintenance

Cement/ Lime works- An oft-overlooked aspect of a building’s structure, the pointing between masonry units plays an integral part in the building’s characteristics, both in its performance and aesthetics. We are experts in this form of maintenance.

Burnt sand mastic application- Traditional timber windows need sand mastic for thermal movement purposes. Allowing failure in this area greatly reduces the buildings heat retaining capacity.

Guttering- If water is a building’s main enemy, the rainwater goods are the un-sung hero. Ensuring their peak performance is highly recommended to alleviate any future complications.

Chimney maintenance is an essential that is often over-looked by the home-owner. Chimneys are traditionally the highest point in a building and therefore exposed more than any other part. The traditional chimney will also have lacked steel-lining, making it open to attack from the fumes it was emitting internall, leading to masonry deterioration..

Whether your chimney needs:

• Re-pointed

• Indented with new units in stone/brick

• Lowered then capped
