A roof has thousands of points where water could get in: ridge lines, hip lines, valleys, eaves, verges, abutments, chimney junctions, vent pipes, soil stacks, dormer cheeks, skylight upstands. Each one is a potential leak. The difference between a roof that lasts 50 years and one that fails at 10 is whether each of those details was executed correctly. Ridgeline approaches every roof — new build, re-roof, repair or alteration — as a structural and detail-led job. The structural carpentry is built straight, plumb and to the engineer's specification. The roofing membrane is correctly lapped at every junction. Battens are gauged to the tile manufacturer's specification, not eyeballed. Lead flashings are dressed properly into mortar joints. Ridges are bedded and pointed cleanly. We work across pitched and flat roofs, in a full range of materials: clay and concrete plain tiles, interlocking concrete tiles, natural Welsh and Spanish slate, fibre-cement slate, EPDM single-ply rubber, and built-up felt systems where appropriate. All work is fully insured, and major materials carry manufacturer warranties of 10–50 years. Workmanship is guaranteed. ### Best for Re-roofing properties at end of original roof life - New-build and extension roofs - Storm and impact damage reinstatement - Chimney removal and roof make-good - Insurance reinstatement work ### When you'll need it - Slipped, missing or broken tiles - Persistent leaks despite previous patch repairs - Sagging roof line - Flashings pulling away from chimneys or abutments - Storm damage requiring temporary and full repair The cost of getting it wrong ## What it really costs to ignore a roof problem. Roofs degrade slowly, then fail suddenly. Small leaks become rotted timbers become structural failure — and every stage costs more than the last. ### Hidden timber rot A small leak that sits for a year rots structural rafters and joists. By the time you see a stain on the ceiling, you're rebuilding more than re-roofing. ### Mould inside the property Persistent moisture from a failing roof grows black mould in lofts and adjoining rooms — a respiratory hazard and a major insurance problem. ### Failed insurance claims Roofs that failed because of deferred maintenance often have claims rejected by insurers. Get the small jobs done before the big claim. ### Sagging structure Roof spread and sagging ridge lines are structural failures. Once visible from the ground, you're months from major reinstatement. ### Resale write-down Survey reports flag roof issues aggressively. A £4,000 repair pre-sale prevents a £15,000 buyer negotiation. Our Process ## A clear, step-by-step system from first call to final handover. - 01 ### Free Roof Survey Visual and where appropriate ladder/drone survey. Photographic report and findings. - 02 ### Fixed Quote Itemised written quotation with materials, structure, scaffold and warranty. - 03 ### Strip & Structure Old materials safely stripped; structure inspected, repaired or replaced as required. - 04 ### Roof Build Underlay, battens, tiles or slates laid to manufacturer spec; lead flashings dressed; ridges and verges finished. - 05 ### Sign-off & Aftercare Site cleared, scaffold removed, photographic record and warranty paperwork issued. The Benefits ## What you actually get when Ridgeline delivers your project. ### 25–50 year warranties Major roofing materials carry manufacturer warranties from 25 to 50 years depending on system. ### Carpenter-led roofing We understand the structure, not just the surface — so the roof is square, plumb and lasts. ### Fast emergency response Storm damage and active leaks prioritised; we can attend to make safe within 24–48 hours where capacity allows. ### Detail-led Lead flashings, ridge bedding, verge details done properly — not the failure points cheap roofers leave behind. ### Photographic handover We document the roof at strip, mid-build and completion — so you have evidence of what's beneath the tiles. ### Workmanship guaranteed Our workmanship is guaranteed, in addition to manufacturer material warranties. Recent Work ## Real roofing projects, photographed on site. Every photo below is from a Ridgeline project — no stock imagery, no staged shots. - - - - - In detail ## Tiled, slated, flat and complex — every roof type, properly built. Roofs vary enormously by property age, style and use. Here's the work we do most often. ### Pitched tile roofs Concrete and clay tiles in plain and interlocking profiles, fixed to manufacturer-specified gauges and nailing patterns. ### Pitched slate roofs Natural Welsh, Spanish and fibre-cement slate. Hand-graded for natural slate to match thickness and size for a clean, even finish. ### Flat roofs (EPDM and felt) EPDM single-ply rubber for 50-year warranty performance; high-performance built-up felt where appropriate. ### Lead flashings & weather details Lead dressed properly into mortar joints at all abutments, chimneys and box-gutters. The most-failed detail on cheap roofs — done right by us. ### Re-roofs vs full new builds We strip back to rafters, inspect and repair structure, fit new breathable underlay and battens, and re-lay or replace tiles. New builds get the same level of care from the rafter up. ### Storm & insurance work Make-safe within 24–48 hours where capacity allows; full reinstatement to insurance scope, working directly with loss adjusters.
