Roof pricing, done honestly
Online roof cost calculators work from a postcode and a rough floor area. They have never seen your ridge, your flashing or the state of your timbers. We fly a drone over your actual roof, show you the footage, and give you a fixed written price. It costs you nothing and there is no obligation.

Pick a time that suits you. No obligation, no pushy sales.
Estimates your roof area from the footprint of the building on a map.
Measures the real pitch and the real surface area. A steep roof can be a third larger than its footprint suggests.
Assumes the timbers underneath are sound, because it has no way of knowing.
Looks for sagging, movement and water staining. Rotten battens or rafters change the price more than the tiles do.
Prices a generic concrete tile.
Identifies what is actually up there. Natural slate, clay pantile and concrete are three very different jobs and three very different prices.
Ignores access entirely.
Checks scaffold requirements, neighbouring properties and whether a road closure is needed. Access can be a four-figure line on its own.
Gives you a number with no accountability behind it.
Gives you a fixed written price we stand behind, backed by a 15-year insurance-backed guarantee.
Tell us your postcode and when suits. Evenings and weekends are fine. We work around you rather than the other way round.
The drone covers every elevation, including the parts you cannot see from the ground and the parts a ladder cannot safely reach. No scaffold, no mess, usually done inside half an hour.
You see the footage yourself. If a repair will do, we will tell you that. We are not going to talk you into a new roof you do not need.
Itemised, in writing, with nothing added later. Take it away and think about it for as long as you like. There is no obligation and no follow-up pressure.
Real survey footage from recent jobs. None of this is visible from the pavement, and none of it is visible to a calculator.
Because we would rather spend half an hour finding out than give you a number we cannot stand behind. A price that changes halfway through the job helps nobody. If the survey shows the work is smaller than you feared, that is a good outcome for both of us.
Roof size and pitch, the covering material, the condition of the battens and rafters underneath, access and scaffolding, and whether the leadwork, flashings and roofline need attention at the same time. A calculator sees none of these. That is why its number and the real number rarely match.
Plenty of roofs that look finished from the ground need a few hundred pounds of work, not a few thousand. If that is your roof, we will say so. Major work carries our 15-year insurance-backed guarantee.
