Services
Fibreglass Roofing
Our Flexi-Flo fibreglass roofing system provides seamless, durable waterproofing with a 25-year guarantee. Using advanced polyester resin technology, this solution resists cracking and offers fire-retardant properties. Ideal for flat or pitched roofs up to 45 degrees, it accommodates insulation upgrades and skylight integration while maintaining structural integrity through its seamless application process.
Green Roofs
Sustainable green roof installations featuring sedum or wildflower vegetation systems. These eco-friendly solutions enhance thermal efficiency, reduce noise pollution, and contribute to flood prevention through rainwater retention. Available for both domestic and commercial properties, our lightweight specifications ensure structural compatibility while creating valuable green habitats that support biodiversity.
Roof Insulation
Thermal insulation upgrades integrated with roofing projects to improve energy efficiency. Our solutions reduce heating costs and enhance comfort levels through advanced material specifications that meet current building regulations. Particularly effective when combined with fibreglass roofing systems for optimal thermal performance and environmental benefits.
Slating & Tiling
Full or partial re-roofing services using natural slates or modern lightweight tiles. We offer complete system replacements including felt, battens, and insulation upgrades. Our expertise extends to pitched roof conversions and specialist lightweight tile applications suitable for low-pitch installations while maintaining weatherproofing integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Pond Construction
Custom-designed pond installations combining aesthetic appeal with ecological benefits. Our services include excavation, waterproofing, and filtration system integration for both ornamental and wildlife-supporting water features. Expert guidance covers pump selection, aquatic plant installation, and ongoing maintenance requirements to ensure long-term functionality and visual impact.
