Services
New Roofs & Roof Replacement
We undertake new roof installations using natural slate, clay tiles or concrete tiles according to your preference. Following a full strip and timber inspection, we install breathable membranes, new battens and complete roofing systems. Charles Stevens personally oversees the work, including arrangements for independent inspection. Our service includes scaffolding, waste clearance and a 20-year written guarantee.
Roof Repairs
We specialise in resolving roofing defects, including damaged flashings, broken ridge lines, missing tiles and leaks around roof windows. Our approach prioritises accurate inspections and straightforward advice rather than unnecessary roof replacements. We also undertake moss removal, roof cleaning and wind damage repairs. Every job includes a 20-year written guarantee, with quotations provided free of charge.
Flat Roofing
Our flat roofing service replaces ageing or damaged roofs with durable, weather-resistant materials. We install seamless EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass systems alongside high-performance felt roofing. Proper roof falls, insulation improvements and carefully integrated guttering form part of our work. We provide fixed written quotations, independent inspection of completed replacements and a comprehensive 20-year workmanship guarantee.
Driveways & Surfacing
Our driveway and surfacing services cover residential driveways, pathways, patios and commercial parking areas. We offer block paving, pattern-imprinted concrete, tarmac and resin bound finishes to suit different requirements. Careful groundwork and appropriate sub-base preparation are central to our approach. We also undertake drainage, kerbing and finishing, with every job protected by a five-year written guarantee.
Resin Bound Driveways
We install resin bound driveways with a smooth, seamless finish and a choice of natural aggregate colours. Our process includes thorough ground preparation, a compacted sub-base and hand-trowelled UV-stable resin. The finished surface is permeable, durable and suitable for everyday vehicle use. Every installation comes with a five-year written workmanship guarantee.
Block Paving
We create block paved surfaces using established groundwork methods and a choice of attractive designs. Our installations feature compacted foundations, concreted edge restraints, accurately cut blocks and kiln-dried sand joints. We also restore existing paving through re-levelling, re-sanding and necessary repairs. Charles personally oversees our work, which carries a five-year written workmanship guarantee.

Report
The Arkenstone team arrived at the allotted time and started work at 8am. They worked all throughout the day until 5pm with a short break for lunch. It took them 4 days to completely strip a very large roof on our detached house and replace it c/w insulation in the loft, new soffits, breathable membrane and new very impressive tiles. They all worked very hard and the end result is excellent. It took a while for the skip and scaffolding to be removed, but that was not in their control. Charles and his team were excellent in all aspects and I would heartily recommend them - at least for an estimate and a guarantee of workmanship. All work was done via Building Control at SKDC and this was passed after the work was completed. Thank you Charles and the team.
