Yes. We carry full public liability insurance and employer's liability insurance. All our operatives are vetted and experienced, and we can provide copies of our insurance certificates on request.

We provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee on all roofing repairs and installations. Some products we use, such as EPDM rubber membranes, also carry their own manufacturer guarantees of up to 25 years.

Most roofing problems can be resolved with targeted repairs rather than a full replacement. If your roof is over 50 years old, has widespread deterioration across multiple areas, or repair costs would exceed 50% of replacement cost, we may advise replacement. However, we always provide honest, impartial advice and will never recommend more work than is genuinely needed.

Yes. We work throughout the year including winter, though we do monitor weather conditions to ensure safe working. Most repair work can be carried out in cold conditions using appropriate materials. We will always advise you if weather conditions make it safer or more practical to reschedule a specific job.

Most home insurance policies cover storm damage to roofs, but the specific terms vary between policies. We work with all major home insurers and can provide a detailed written damage report, photographs, and repair estimates to support your claim. We can also liaise directly with loss adjusters on your behalf.

A standard residential roof clean typically takes 4–8 hours depending on the size of the roof and the extent of moss and algae growth. Larger properties or roofs with very heavy growth may require a full day. We will give you an accurate time estimate when quoting.

No. High-pressure washing can damage natural slate by widening hairline cracks, dislodging nail fixings, and disturbing the surface texture. For slate roofs, we always use low-pressure soft wash techniques combined with specialist biocidal treatments, which are both safer and more effective.

A professionally applied biocide treatment after roof cleaning typically inhibits moss and algae regrowth for 5–10 years in Liverpool's climate. The exact duration depends on the roof's orientation, surrounding trees, and local rainfall patterns. North-facing slopes in sheltered positions may need retreating sooner than exposed south-facing roofs.

Pricing depends on roof size, access, and the extent of moss or algae growth. A standard semi-detached typically costs £250–£500 for a full clean with biocide treatment. Soft washing, steam cleaning, and specialist slate or tile cleaning are priced at the same range — we always recommend the safest method for your specific roof type. Minor roof repairs start from £150. We provide free, detailed written quotes before any work begins.

For larger projects, we can discuss staged payment options. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and we will do our best to find a payment arrangement that works for you.

Professional gutter cleaning for a standard semi-detached in Liverpool costs £60–£120 depending on gutter length, access, and whether downpipes need clearing. We provide fixed written quotes before attending — no hidden extras. Call 07845 463877 for a free quote.

We recommend twice-yearly gutter cleaning in Liverpool — once in late autumn (October–November) after leaf fall, and once in spring (March–April) to clear moss seeds and winter debris. Liverpool's high rainfall and tree cover mean gutters block faster here than in most UK regions. Properties next to large trees may need three cleans per year.

Gutters overflow during heavy rain for two main reasons: they are blocked with debris (leaves, moss, and dirt), or they are damaged and sagging so water can't drain. A professional gutter clean includes a flush test to confirm the system is flowing correctly. If the gutters are sagging or cracked, a repair or replacement is needed.

Prices vary by property size and whether existing timber is in good enough condition to cap over. We provide free, detailed written surveys before any quote. Call 07845 463877.

Fascias are the vertical boards that run along the roofline and carry your gutters. Soffits are the horizontal boards beneath the fascia that close the gap between the fascia and the wall. Together they protect the roof structure, prevent birds and vermin entering the roof space, and form an important part of the home's exterior appearance. Both are typically replaced at the same time.

Flat roof repair costs in Liverpool depend on the system type and extent of damage. A targeted felt repair typically starts from £150–£300. Full EPDM rubber flat roof replacement for a standard garage or extension costs £800–£2,000+. GRP fibreglass overlays are similarly priced.

The safest and most effective method is professional soft washing — low-pressure application of specialist biodegradable biocide solutions that kill moss, algae and lichen at the root. This is far safer than pressure washing (which can crack tiles and void warranties) and more effective than dry brushing (which spreads spores). After cleaning, a biocide treatment inhibits regrowth for 5–10 years.
