Flat Roofing
We specialise in high-performance flat roofing systems including Felt, EPDM rubber membranes, and single-ply solutions. Our installations incorporate insulation and drainage layers to prevent water accumulation while maintaining structural integrity. Commercial clients benefit from large-scale profiled metal decking applications with composite sheeting options for improved thermal efficiency.
Storm Damage Repairs
Our rapid response team addresses urgent roofing failures caused by severe weather. We provide temporary weatherproofing within 24 hours, followed by permanent repairs using matching materials. Services include tile/slate replacement, gutter restoration, and structural reinforcement for both residential and commercial properties.
EPDM Rubber Systems
As FIX-R EPDM approved installers, we offer 50-year durability membrane solutions for flat and low-pitch roofs. The 1.5mm thick rubber sheets come in widths up to 9.15m, reducing seams by 40% compared to standard systems. Ideal for garages, extensions, and commercial buildings requiring minimal maintenance waterproofing.
Profiled Cladding
We install corrugated steel roofing and wall cladding systems for industrial buildings. Options include insulated composite panels with U-values as low as 0.18W/mK, enhancing energy efficiency in warehouses and factories. Asbestos roof replacements incorporate encapsulation solutions minimising business disruption.
Roof Repairs
Our comprehensive repair services cover all roof types from heritage slate to modern profiled metal. We conduct moisture mapping surveys to identify hidden water damage, replacing rotten substrates while preserving original architectural features. Regular maintenance contracts extend roof lifespans by up to 25%.

Thank you to Roofwise for a great job. We only chose you as you are a Which? Trusted Trader. The quote was done quickly for a flat roof. The guys worked hard on the day. Looks fantastic. We are really pleased. Thank you again.

Roofwise returned to work on my garage roof after their successful completion of another flat roof project for me. It was a substantial task for the two workers, but they diligently carried on and delivered an exceptional job once more. I am extremely pleased with the outcome.

Report
After getting my roof fixed, it seemed fine at first glance. But upon closer examination, I noticed some problems, especially with the chimney. Disappointed by previous services, I turned to Roofwise for help. They were straightforward about the issues and presented viable solutions. Once we agreed on the work, they stuck to a solid schedule and were very efficient. I can vouch for their reliability.

Report
Experiencing intermittent leaking roof. Roofwise were quick to be on site after initial enquiry. An examination revealed likely sources of the problem with photos taken to show and to verify diagnosis - which was very helpful. Comprehensive, professional, paperwork with a competitive quote was received very quickly and a mutually agreed time was fixed for the job to be done. Indeed, as an afterthought I asked if a stretch of guttering could be done while on site.
This extra work was met with ready agreement - and at no extra charge. Communications between Roofwise and myself were excellent. The work was carried out extremely efficiently by two very pleasant chaps, showing competence, care and consideration. I can recommend Roofwise without hesitation or reservation. I, personally, will not consider anyone else for roof-related work in the future . read less
